Reference Data Sets (RDS)

Reference Data Sets in Oracle Fusion Cloud allow sharing and partitioning of data elements (For eg: Payables Payment Terms / Depreciation Methods etc). This happens at a business unit level. There are 3 types of Reference Data Sets

1. Common: Data elements with “Common” Reference Data Set will be available for all Business Units, irrespective of the RDS assigned to the Business Unit for that data element
2. Enterprise: Data Elements with “Enterprise” Reference Data Set will be available only for the Business Units with RDS as Enterprise for the relevant data element (You can check the RDS for a particular business unit in the task “Manage Business Unit Set Assignment”)
3. Custom: Custom reference data sets serve the same purpose as enterprise data sets. Only difference is that enterprise  is a seeded RDS provided by Oracle and Custom RDS can be created by users as required
