Can anybody give me advantages of having them within single OU.

Hi

Multi Org is more to do with the operations in which you conduct for a Business and not for Multiple Business

An Operating Unit Consist of either a Sales office or Manufacturing Unit or an Administration Office and you wnat to restrict access from one operating unit to another.

Example: You have a Manufacturing Unit in Chicago and Sales Office in New York and you do not want Sales office to view the Transaction of Manufacturing office and vice versa, You need to define Multiple Operating Units

If you have Multiple Business under One legal Entity and the Expenses can be clearly allocated for each Business then it is better to keep Each Business as a Separate segment in Accounting Key Flexfield

You Provide More clear Example like how many Business and How many Legal Entities and How the Operations are spread across the Geography to answer your question
