Oracle EBS Modules & Functionality Description

Oracle Financial Management Solution

Oracle Financials, part of Oracle E-Business Suite, helps financial officers create an information-

driven enterprise that synchronizes data centrally from all systems—including third-party systems—

so financial information is consistently

collected, calculated, analyzed, and stored,

ensuring data integrity while reducing costs.

This approach improves visibility into

business, financial, and compliance

performance across the enterprise;

strengthens your control to enforce

compliance with company and regulatory

policy; and increases operational efficiency.

The applications in Oracle Financials use a

unified data model that allows you to store

information—including transactions,

business intelligence, and financial assets—in one place. Those applications include: General Ledger,

Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Cash Management, and Fixed Assets.

Oracle General Ledger

Oracle General Ledger enables global data management; it is a comprehensive financial management

solution that dramatically enhances financial controls, data collection, information access, and

financial reporting throughout your enterprise. It is the financial data repository. All financial

transactions are either created directly in or exported to Oracle General Ledger. Oracle General

Ledger is the fastest and most scaleable general ledger on the market today. Recent benchmarks

demonstrate Oracle General Ledger’s unprecedented transaction processing performance that meets

the capacity requirements of companies of all sizes.

• Oracle General Ledger supports multi-company, multi-currency functionality. You can set it

up in such a way that meets your reporting needs and anticipates the way you run your

organization in the future.

• Oracle General Ledger supports simultaneous accounting for multiple reporting

requirements. Oracle understands that organizations are now global in nature. This is why

they have to comply with local accounting rules (for their local reporting) as well as

international accounting rules such as IAS (for the shareholder reporting). Oracle General

Ledger simplifies the simultaneous management of the accounting for all of these different

reporting requirements.

2

• The journal entries in Oracle General Ledger journal entry can be: manual, reversing,

recurring.

credibility with your suppliers)

• Oracle Payables gives you the ability to manage and maintain your supplier information by

entering, adjusting, and identifying duplicate suppliers and merging them. You can divide

your suppliers and assign payment methods and priorities to each group.

• The centralization of payment processing in the Oracle Payments engine offers many

benefits. Companies are able to efficiently centralize the payment process across multiple

subsidiaries, currencies, and regions. A full audit trail and control is supported through a

single point of payment administration.

Oracle Cash Management

Oracle Purchasing provides a rich store of

policy and supplier information, a robust

workbench for buying professionals, and

6

consolidated visibility into spend. Oracle Advanced Procurement in a nutshell drives the organization

to:

• Reduce Spend on Goods and Services;

• Streamline Procurement Processes;

• Enforce Policy Compliance.

Oracle Purchasing

Oracle Purchasing is the application for professional buyers that streamlines purchase order

processing while strengthening policy compliance. It is a key component of Oracle Advanced

Procurement

According to independent experts the key to achieving world class procurement performance lies in

using technology to automate routine tasks. This frees procurement professionals to work on more

strategic tasks related to sourcing and supplier management. Oracle Purchasing does just that. It

automates purchasing to make buyers more productive, improves management of your supply base,

and adapts to virtually any procurement process.

As the heart of the Oracle Advanced Procurement suite, Oracle Purchasing provides a rich store of

policy and supplier information, an enterprise class automation platform, and a robust workbench

for buying professionals.

information with an application that tightly integrate suppliers into your organization by

leveraging advanced supply management capabilities

• Adapt to Any Purchasing Practice—Adapt the application to your organization's purchasing

practices with uniquely configurable policies and an open architecture that integrates legacy

and supplier systems

Oracle iProcurement

Oracle iProcurement is the self-service

requisitioning application that controls

employee purchasing. It is a key component

of Oracle Advanced Procurement, the

integrated suite that dramatically cuts all

supply management costs.

7

Paper-based procurement processes are not only slow and expensive; they create barriers to

enforcing spending policy. Oracle iProcurement automates requisitioning through a self-service web-

shopping system. Users create, manage and track their own orders in an intuitive web interface,

while purchasing retains central control. Oracle iProcurement ensures that purchasing policies and

preferred pricing agreements are reflected in every transaction. Easy online ordering and self-service

tracking and receiving provide better service while reducing routine purchasing inquiries and non-

sourced purchasing. This frees procurement professionals to focus on supplier relationships and

strategic sourcing.

With Oracle iProcurement you can:

• Streamline employee ordering: Self-service ordering eliminates error-prone paper processes,

improving productivity and control.

• Enforce spending policy: robust policy enforcement gives you unprecedented control and

governance support.

• Slash procurement costs: Lower procurement costs by cutting transaction overhead,

controlling maverick purchasing, and realizing the full value of your preferred supplier

agreements.

Oracle Procurement Contracts

Oracle Procurement Contracts is the enterprise application that creates and enforces better

purchasing contracts. It is a key component of Oracle Advanced Procurement, the integrated suite

that dramatically cuts all supply management costs.

Despite the importance of contracts governing supplier relationships and the huge sums of money

involved, the process of managing contracts is error-prone and lacks meaningful controls.

Unfortunately, without proper oversight, contract negotiations can be lengthy and unpredictable —

and the resulting contracts can expose an organization to risk. And even the best contracts can fail to

deliver the expected savings because of an organization's inability to drive enforcement. Oracle

Procurement Contracts allows you to take control of your contract lifecycle, from authoring and

negotiation through implementation, enforcement, evaluation, and closeout. Business stakeholders,

procurement experts, and legal professionals can quickly author contracts that comply with

corporate standards. Plus, your company can measure compliance to ensure that negotiated savings

hit the bottom line.

With Oracle Procurement Contracts, you can:

• Standardize contract processes: create quality contracts faster and reduce risk by

implementing enterprise standards, policies that govern their use, and tools to allow flexible

administration

• Reduce time-to-contract: cut negotiation-cycle time with a flexible workflow and revision

process that makes legal and commercial terms immediately visible to selected parties

• Drive contract compliance: track compliance and review the contract details throughout the

entire contract lifecycle

Oracle Sourcing

Oracle Sourcing is the enterprise application that drives more and better sourcing through online

collaboration and negotiation. It is a key component of Oracle Advanced Procurement, the

integrated suite that can dramatically cut all supply management costs.

Because strategic sourcing is typically time-consuming and complex, few organizations are able to

exploit all available sourcing opportunities. Oracle Sourcing increases the sourcing bandwidth of

procurement professionals, so they can exploit many more savings opportunities and capture more

value from each. Online collaboration and negotiation makes it easy for experts from multiple

organizations to exchange information, define requirements, conduct negotiation, and create new

contracts. Buying professionals, business experts, and suppliers can all collaborate to create

agreements that provide the best terms.

• Source more of your spend: manage more sourcing events in less time and bring them to

conclusion faster, so you can exploit additional savings opportunities.

• Slash Cycle Time with online negotiations: Oracle Sourcing consolidates requirements,

amendments, and responses in one central location, so suppliers can bid more quickly.

Online tools alert buyers to events that need additional supplier actions. Online competition

saves time by motivating suppliers to improve terms without time-consuming back and forth

negotiation. Agreements negotiated in Oracle Sourcing can also be immediately

implemented in Oracle Purchasing.

• Source for lowest total cost: make more best-value award decisions based on total cost, not

just on unit price. Improve Sourcing results with Cross-Functional Collaboration: Oracle

Sourcing’s online collaboration makes it easy for technical, business, and commercial terms

experts to lend their expertise to the sourcing process. This ensures both better sourcing

processes and broader buy-in to award decisions.

• Create immediate and long-term savings: create immediate savings and faster ROI with rapid

deployment; then gain additional savings with consistent execution through the Oracle

Advanced Procurement suite. Improving sourcing can save companies enough money to

return their investment in just one sourcing event. Organizations using Oracle Sourcing often

discover that open and transparent competition prompts even incumbent suppliers to offer

better prices, terms and conditions.

Performance Management (OPM) enables HR Professionals to roll out performance

management plans to the entire workforce, incorporating objective setting as well as

appraisal tasks.

• Tracking Objectives Throughout the Year. Employee objectives are tracked throughout the

year via personal scorecards and rated at the appraisal time. The task-oriented interface

enables employees to track and update their scorecards frequently, as they progress with

their objectives. Managers can review and track the progress of employee objectives,

provide feedback and take any action, if required. The objectives are automatically copied

into the appraisals at the time of performance review. Performance management plans

support multiple appraisals in one period

• Implement Cascading Objectives. Oracle Performance Management provides organizations

the flexibility to choose a top-down or bottom-up model for setting individual objectives.

Managers can cascade their own objectives to their employees, either by duplicating their

objectives or creating new objectives that are associated or linked to their own objectives.

You have the flexibility to instead allow managers and employees to set their objectives in

parallel, at the same time.

• Conduct On-line Appraisals to Streamline Performance Management. Use on-line appraisals

to measure achievement against objectives, evaluate proficiency in competencies, and assess

advancement potential. Appraisals can include separate competency and objectives regions,

which you define for your workforce through easily created templates. You can use fast

formulas to perform calculations to derive the final appraisal rating.

17

• Obtain Feedback From Multiple Participants. The appraisals feature in OPM enables you to

gather feedback on an employee’s performance and development from various participants

other than the main appraiser – for example, subordinates and peers.

• Design Custom Questionnaires to Augment the Appraisal. OPM enables you to define an

appraisal that provides different questionnaires for the various potential participants in the

appraisal process – main appraiser, appraisee, reviewers, or other participants.

• Integration With Other Talent Management Products. As competencies are a central

integration point for talent management, updates made to competency data in appraisals

are reflected in the Self-Service Human Resources competency profile and used in Suitability

Matching. The integration between OPM and Oracle Learning Management (OLM) enables

managers to designate an appropriate learning path for an employee within the appraisal,

depending on the individual’s development needs.
