A new field Operating Unit Mode is included to the Define Concurrent Programs window which allows users to specify the concurrent programs for multiple organizations. The concurrent programs can be categorized into Single, Multiple or Null. The default value is Null. The concurrent program is used to execute the multiple organizations initialization and also determine when to display Operating Unit field in the Submit Requests window and Schedule Requests window.

There are two categories of Concurrent programs:
1. Single Organization Concurrent Programs
2. Multiple Organization Concurrent Programs

Single Organization Concurrent Programs
Single Organization concurrent programs are non-report programs that report or process data for one Operating Unit only. These programs show data for the Operating Unit specified by MO: Operating Unit profile option. These programs are flagged as Single for Operating Unit mode in the Define Concurrent Programs window.

Multiple Organization Concurrent Programs
The Multiple Organization Concurrent Programs process or report date for multiple operating units specified by the profile option MO: Security Profile. These programs display the operating unit as an optional parameter. The user selects an operating unit and submits the program or leaves it blank. If the parameter is left blank, the concurrent
program processes or reports data for the operating units specified in the MO: Security Profile.

The figure below shows an Submit Request window with the operating unit parameter added for the Payables Open Interface Import program. Users may either choose to enter a value for the Operating Unit or leave it blank and submit the request. If you specify the operating units invoices are processed for  the respective operating units else
invoices are processed for all the operating units in the security profile.
