Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Hi, I used Oracle R12 for billing and cash application purpose in order to cash domain. We generally doing invoicing using Oracle E-Business for our stockholders and also doing cash application by knocking off the invoice against payment received. We also fetch reports of large number of data from Oracle E-Business in our day to day activities to complete our task with more effectively and accuracy. The only drawback which I faced while using it the latency issue.

Pros

  • Showing payment posting against each invoice which had been knocked off.
  • Customer credit limit history and an option to control customer limit in case of any risk.
  • Every thing is inter Linked while doing invoicing which help the user to minimise the mistake and also it's user friendly

Cons

  • Latency issue- it works too slow. Oracle team really need to work on this as it will help to increase productivity of the user.
  • When there is a network issue for few second or disconnect. The whole Oracle page got stucked and it took a long time to restore as we need to close all pages and then reopen it.
  • Oracle team need to work on upgradtion and need to add new features which will help the business to grow by minimising the error or manual work

Return on Investment

  • The postive impact is that it has a record for all the accounting transaction
  • Negative impact it's latency and old interface
  • Need to be upgrade so that user will be more effective and accurate

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Global implementation of R12.1 and ongoing support from Accounting & Finance functions. I supported all users training, requirements, and remediations to ensure the software met our business needs.

Pros

  • Security: Responsibilities restrict users to entities and functions
  • Access: Easy to login and integrate other softwares like WebADI journal entry uploads
  • Customization: You can re-arrange fields in your entry screens to align with your invoices ,etc.

Cons

  • Compatibility: EBS should be up to date to work with Excel and other business applications.
  • Java: Old version of Java was needed to support application.
  • Integration: Although you can export data, it is often just a csv or txt file. It would be better to have formatted reports and excel templates.

Return on Investment

  • Positive: easy to navigate HTML screens
  • Positive: user access and responsibility control
  • Negative: dated compatibility to current softwares.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I direct implementation projects of Oracled EBusiness Suite; I have about 10 years of leading this kind of project. But as an internal consultant and external consultant, I have been working with different modules of E-Business Suites, implementing and supporting. I have worked with General Ledger, Account Payables, Account Receivables, Inventory, Purchasing, Bills of Materials, Work In Process, Assets, Cash Management, Order Management, Accounting Hub, and a system administrator. The E-Business Suite has dozen and dozens of modules that can help your organization to solve different business requirements, with multiple APIs and interfaces to connect with your legacy systems or to receive information from different sources and then produce the information that you need. I have implemented modules in different companies, from Telecomm, car manufacturing, oil, food, banks, and others. One of the advantages is that EBS business flows are very complete, and you can buy and implement modules as you can or require.

Pros

  • General Ledger. Accounting for many enterprises, consolidation process.
  • Payables as you can control the invoice age and make the payment at the right moment.
  • Budget Control stops you to over expend, even at the purchase requisition moment.
  • Cash conciliation, a very good process.
  • Cost Management with the right inventory cost with different methods.
  • Easy with client orders in order management, and good shipping process.
  • Nice interface between client orders and receivables invoicing.

Cons

  • Inventory management, as can get better.
  • Applying Adjustments to receivables invoices.
  • Work IN Process, at the moment of moving assemblies between work stations.
  • Designing indented bills in Bill of Materials.

Return on Investment

  • Since it is in production, the ROI in most projects has been positive within 2 of 3 years.
  • Improvement in Procure to pay business flow can be as good as 6 months.
  • Assets control ROI is within 6 months.
