What are Fusion Applications?

Fusion Applications

Oracle's integrated suite of next-generation applications, currently in development, combining the best capabilities from Oracle's extensive product portfolio with a rich client

user interface and embedded analytics.

Existing ApplicationsOracle EBS, PeopleSoft, Siebel, JD Edwards, etc. will

continue with their own upgrade paths. Now to be known as “APPLICATIONS UNLIMITED”

Fusion Applications Headlines

In Fusion, Application Development Framework (ADF) pages replace the Oracle Forms and OA Framework pages

User interface has undergone a tremendous change to deliver rich, intuitive, productive and superior user experience

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) as the middleware enables seamless integration within Fusion Suite

Best of the breed features from Oracle Suite of Applications like PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Seibel and Hyperion have been embedded in Fusion

Business Process centred design

Highly configurable – by business users

Embedded Business Intelligence

Collaboration facility within the application


7

Fusion Applications User Interface Changes

Web 2.0 features integrated within applications (RSS Feeds, Presence Detection, On-Line Collaboration, “Social Networking”, Tags)

‘Contextual Information’ to support transactions can be easily displayed within the transaction.

Embedded Analytics (BI), in task screens at the point at which the information is needed to perform task / make decision. (Transactional based BI based on summary tables in the application.)

Embedded Learning (Help / Tutorials / Video)

UI, and the way in which information is searched and presented is consistent across all applications.

‘Grid’ presentation of information allows far greater flexibility of manipulation. E.g. Excel like capability to sort / filter / search / display / hide columns / freeze panes etc.

User activity driven by Worklists / Watchlists

No longer called ‘Forms’, now called ‘Pages’.

• Setup task list automatically generated based on implementation choices• Tasks assigned to users and progress tracked• All setup tasks now accessible from one place• All master data can be maintained from Setup Manager

Setup Offerings• Pre-seeded setup task lists for high level business activities e.g. Financial, Sales,

Procurement (14 so far)

Setup Migration• Migrate configuration and setup data between environments

Setup Reporting

- ASM enables comparision of setup data across environments through its enhanced

reporting capabilities


12

Fusion Applications

Setup Manager – Setup Process Choose ‘Offering’ e.g. Financials/Sales / Procurement.

Choose ‘Options’ e.g. Self Service Procurement.

Choose ‘Features’ individual processes within ‘Options’.

Define ‘Scope’ – The Business Units to which the change implementation relates.

Sequenced Task List is automatically generated. (Implementation Manager does this)

Assign tasks to users and add supporting attachments. (Implementation Manager does this)

Complete setup tasks

ASM enriches the setup process by facilitating import and export of setup data through spreadsheet integration

• Plan, Provision – getting started• Configure – offerings, create packages• Implement – projects• Migrate• Transact• Maintain


14

Fusion Applications

Chart of Accounts (COA) Structure

- Fusion has introduced Accounting (COA) Structure to support

multiple Chart of Accounts which is a significant enhancement over

the Chart of Accounts existing in prior releases of EBS R12 & R11i

that supports single Chart of Accounts

- Multiple COAs can be created from a single COA structure to

support different Accounting and Legal Reporting requirements

- Fusion reduces the requirement of several Chart of Accounts

Structures


15

Fusion Applications

Business Unit (BU)

- BU is a PeopleSoft concept incorporated into Fusion that supports both

Enterprise model of BUs and EBS modle of Opeating Units

- BU is referred to by the business functions that it performs

- BU represents a unit of enterprise that can be consolidated in both a

managerial and legal hierarchy

Business Functions

- Functions performed by a business unit

- BUs are assigned with the required business functions so as to enable the

underlying processes within the relevant application modules


16

Fusion Applications

SetID

- SetID is a PeopleSoft concept incorporated into Fusion Suite

- Applications need to be setup with reference data before making them available

for transactions

- In prior releases of EBS R12 & R11i, the extent of sharing reference data is

limited as a large extent of reference data needed to be setup for each

Operating Unit

- Fusion enables sharing a set of reference data across multiple Bus

- Customers can create global (common) and specific sets of reference data and

indicate the sets of reference data to be used for each BU

- Examples of reference data include Payment Terms, Transaction Types, etc.


17

Fusion Applications

Reference Accounts

- Reference Account is a GL account associated with a reference object

- Reference Accounts feature is introduced in Fusion to enable reference

data sharing for SetID enabled reference objects that carry accounts as part

of their definition

- In prior releases of EBS R12 & R11i, specific accounting information was

defined for reference objects like Supplier site, Customer Site etc.

- In Fusion, with the introduction of SetID and Reference Accounts feature,

reference objects are assigned account category and are not associated

with GL accounts


18

Fusion Applications

Date Effectivity

- Date Effectivity refers to date based versioning of the logical objects of

business

- Prior releases of EBS support date based versioning in few applications like

Human Resources, E-Business Tax, General Ledger, etc.

- In Fusion, date effectivity has been incorporated for a large extent of logical

business objects spanning various applications

- Its emphasis is to keep track of effective records (versions) rather than

maintaining the log of changes by users


19

Fusion Applications

Role Based Access Control (RBAC)

- In Fusion, the Oracle User Management (UMX) group in ATG delivers a

security infrastructure that will closely follow the standard Role Based

Access Control (RBAC) model among other features

- In the UMX model, a role will point to a set of functions and separately point

to a navigation menu that should be used to access those functions

- This navigation menu enables only those functions which have been

granted to the user through the assigned roles

- This model enables to find a function in the same place even if a specific

function has been granted through different roles. An example of this could

be the function to ‘Open Period’


20

Fusion Applications

Time zone

- In prior releases of EBS R12 & R11i, effective date defaults to

system date based on the server time zone.

- In Fusion, effective date defaults to the system date based on the

preferred time zone of the user. This could be Legal Entity time

zone in most of the cases. However, this date could be based on a

time zone different from LE time zone as Legal Entity is not directly

applicable in GL
