Reference Data set is a new concept available in Oracle Fusion Application and Reference Data Sets allow sharing and partitioning of data elements For eg: Payables Payment Terms. Oracle fusion provides a default Reference Data set which can be used across all Business units. However, we can define our own Reference data sets.
Main advantage of
using Reference Data Sharing is to help organizations share common
transactional data without unnecessary duplication.
For example, if
organization has several business units and each business unit uses different
payment terms on a customer invoice. Instead of each business unit creating and
maintaining individual payment terms, one can define the payment terms
reference data at the organization level and use that data into partitions
(create reference data sets) so that the different payment terms can be
assigned to each business unit.
Note: There are
two default RDS that Oracle provides i.e COMMON and ENTERPRISE
