Fusion Application Overview

During the implementation phase, you first need to know which modules the client wants toimplement. In our traditional Oracle EBusiness suite, we used a terminology called module. However, in case of Fusion Applications, you can compare this with R12 as Module[Offering in FA] and SubModule [Option in FA].

In EBS, General Ledger, Payables, iExpenses were modules. However in Fusion Applications, the parent module is Financials. This parent module is called the offering.

Therefore Financials is the offering, HCM is the offering. Within this offering you haveOptions. For example, within Financial offering you can implement Payables or Receivablesor iExpenses or all the above. Now within the options, you have features. For example,iExpense has a feature of importing expenses straight from excel. Another feature withiniExpense is to implement corporate credit card integration.

To make the job of doing implementation easy, Fusion Financials generates a task list onthe basis of combination of Offering, Option and feature that you have selected during theimplementation.

These initial screenshots will give you a flavour of Fusion Applications.

When you login to Fusion Applications, you will see a Navigator link.

Applications.

When you log into Oracle identity manager, lets say using the default login of xelsysadm,

then you can either view your own roles[self service] or you can administer other users.

In the screenshot below, click on Administration link and that will present you with thescreen to create users or

roles.

Here you can create users or roles. However please note that a role gets registered in OID as a Group, whereas a user createdfrom here will get registered in OID as a User. OID is the Oracle Internet Directory that caneither be used standalone in which case usernames and passwords will be stored in OID, orOID can be synch’ed up with AD, and kept a slave of AD, in which case the passwords willbe stored in AD. Many organizations already have active directory for authentication in theirenterprise.

You can also perform wildcard searches for usernames and roles.

One role can inherit properties from another Fusion Applications role, this is explained in thescreenshot below.

As shown below, we have created a hierarchy of roles

In order for a role to become available to an impementation user, that role must be assignedto the Xellerate Organization. This is a dummy organization to which all the administrative

users belong to.

As you can see, we are granting various permissions on role FND_IT_SECURITY_JOB toXellerate organisation.
