Introduction

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 Applications
Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft, Siebel, JD Edwards, etc. will
continue with their own upgrade paths. Now to be known as
“APPLICATIONS UNLIMITED”

Fusion Applications
General

Fusion Applications
Footprint (v1.0)
Financial Management
Human Capital Management

Supply Chain Management
Project Portfolio Management
Procurement Management
Governance, Risk and Compliance
Not all EBS functionality available in v1.0 e.g. Manufacturing, Call Centre
Public Sector Localizations not available in v1.0
Focus on horizontal applications rather than industry solutions

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

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’.

Fusion Applications
 UI layout consistent throughout Fusion Apps

Fusion Applications
Functional Setup Manager
 Setup Manager
• 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

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

Fusion Applications
Setup Manager
 One-stop planning to deployment tool
• Plan, Provision – getting started
• Configure – offerings, create packages
• Implement – projects
• Migrate
• Transact
• Maintain

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

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

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.

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

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

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’

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
