Multi Org Structure with 2 SOB India and USA

[zainalara]

Hi Gurus

Our Client has Process Manufacturing operations in INDIA and USA and wants to implement Oracle apps 11i OPM
India operations
India operations should be India localized and USA operations will have different SOB.
India operations will have One Legal Entity (LE) and two operating Units (OU) in same state , while one OU will have two IO and other OU has same OU, IO .The two OU should have Intercompany Accounting
USA operations
USA operations has one SOB and one LE attached with one OU and OU is attached with two IO

How should I define Multi org and Accounting Structure segments and Intercompany, should I implement 2 SOB, one for India operations and other for USA SOB .How would be consolidation?
USA operations want to sell products from India Operations then how should I use GIS?

for a setup like this the cleanest approach is two SOBs, one for India operations and one for USA, primarily because of the currency and localization requirements. running India statutory requirements including GST and local tax structures under the same SOB as USD operations creates more ongoing maintenance overhead than the initial setup of a second SOB.
for the multi-org structure, given two OUs under the India LE sharing the same state, intercompany accounting between them is straightforward using the standard intercompany balancing rules at the SOB level. the more interesting part is the GIS setup for India to USA intercompany sales. GIS in 11i works cleanly when the selling and buying OUs are mapped correctly with the intercompany price list defined and the AR/AP invoicing automation enabled between the two entities.
consolidation across the two SOBs is typically handled through FSG reports or a separate consolidation SOB if the client needs elimination entries automated. for most mid-size implementations a consolidation SOB with manual or ADI-loaded eliminations is sufficient without adding a third SOB just for consolidation.
one thing worth confirming early is whether the India LE needs a separate IO per registration number for GST purposes, since that sometimes forces the IO structure before the OU design is finalized.
