What is ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)?

ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning, which is a type of software used by
companies to manage business processes.

Why do companies use ERP?

Companies operate in multiple locations, such as:

●​ Hyderabad​

●​ Mumbai​

●​ Bangalore​

To efficiently integrate operations and centralize data, companies use ERP. This helps in:

1.​ Data Integration – All locations can access a unified system.​

2.​ Quick Report Generation – Helps in faster decision-making.​

3.​ Cost Reduction – Automates processes, reducing manual work.​

4.​ Speeding Up Business Processes – Increases efficiency and productivity.​

Understanding Enterprise & ERP Offerings

What is an Enterprise?

An Enterprise is a company or business entity, which could be:

●​ Private Limited​

●​ Partnership​

●​ LLP (Limited Liability Partnership)​

●​ Cooperative Firms​

Business Functions in an Enterprise

Every enterprise consists of different departments or business functions, such as:

●​ HR (Human Resources)​

●​ Finance​

●​ Sales & Distribution​

●​ Supply Chain Management (SCM)​

●​ Project Management​

ERP Offerings

ERP systems provide software solutions that align with these departments. For example:

●​ Financial Module (Finance Department)​

●​ HR Module (Human Resources Department)​

●​ SCM Module (Supply Chain Department)​

This alignment helps in recording, tracking, and analyzing business functions efficiently.

2.Understanding Oracle Roles

In Oracle, there are three main roles:

1.​ Functional Consultant​

○​ Responsible for configuring and implementing the software to meet business

needs.​

○​ Works with business functions like finance, HR, procurement, etc.​

○​ Example: A functional consultant sets up financial structures like company

name, branches, and products in the system.​

2.​ Technical Consultant​

○​ Focuses on coding, customization, and development.​

○​ Example: Writing custom reports or developing integrations.​

3.​ Database Administrator (DBA)​

○​ Manages the database and server maintenance.​

○​ Example: Ensuring data storage, backup, and recovery.​

In Cloud ERP, the DBA role is managed by Oracle itself, so we will focus on the Functional
Consultant role in this course.

What a Functional Consultant Does

A functional consultant is responsible for setting up various business elements in Oracle

Fusion, such as:
 ●​ Company Details – Example: Tata Motors (company name)​

●​ Financial Year Setup – Example: India follows April to March financial year​

●​ Head Office & Branches – Example: Mumbai HQ, branches in Hyderabad,

Bangalore, etc.​

●​ Products & Services – Defining company offerings in the system​

All of these are configured in Fusion Server by a functional consultant to ensure smooth
financial operations.

3.On-Premise vs. Cloud: A Real-Time Comparison

What is On-Premise?

On-premise means that all IT infrastructure, including servers, software, and networks, is
physically located within an organization's premises. The company is fully responsible for
purchasing, maintaining, and securing the hardware and software.

Example of On-Premise Setup

Imagine a bank like SBI (State Bank of India) that maintains its own data centers in different
cities. They purchase servers, hire IT staff to manage them, install security systems, and
update their software regularly. If a new version of banking software is released, SBI's IT
team must manually install and configure it.

Challenges of On-Premise

●​ High Costs: Companies must invest in expensive hardware, software licenses,

maintenance, and upgrades.​

●​ Long Setup Time: Setting up an IT infrastructure can take months or even years.​

●​ Maintenance & Upgrades: The organization is responsible for software updates and
security patches.​

●​ Scaling Issues: If more users or data storage is needed, additional hardware must
be purchased.​

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing means that IT infrastructure is managed by a cloud vendor, and
businesses access services via the internet. Instead of buying and maintaining physical
servers, companies rent computing power, storage, and software on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Example of Cloud Setup

Consider Netflix. Instead of maintaining its own servers, Netflix uses Amazon Web Services
(AWS) to stream content globally. AWS manages the infrastructure, security, and updates,
allowing Netflix to focus on delivering content without worrying about servers or
maintenance.

Advantages of Cloud Computing

●​ Lower Costs: No need to buy physical servers or pay for maintenance.​

●​ Quick Deployment: Businesses can start using cloud services within days or weeks.​

●​ Automatic Updates: The cloud provider manages updates and security patches.​

●​ Scalability: If more users need access, businesses can instantly increase capacity.​

3. Key Differences: On-Premise vs. Cloud

Feature On-Premise Cloud

Infrastructure Maintained by the company Managed by cloud vendor

Cost High (hardware, maintenance, Pay-per-use, lower initial

licenses) cost

Deployment Months to years Days to weeks

Time

Maintenance Handled by internal IT staff Managed by cloud provider

Scaling Requires new hardware purchases Scalable instantly

 Example SBI Bank Data Center Netflix on AWS

4. Why Companies Are Moving to Cloud?

●​ Startups & SMBs: Prefer cloud due to low upfront costs and quick setup (e.g.,
Swiggy, Zomato, Ola).​

●​ Large Enterprises: Adopt hybrid models (mix of on-premise and cloud) for flexibility
(e.g., banks, healthcare).​

●​ Government & Security-Sensitive Sectors: Still rely on on-premise for data

security but are slowly moving to the cloud.​

Conclusion

●​ On-premise is like owning a car—you pay for everything, including maintenance,

fuel, and insurance.​

●​ Cloud is like using Uber—you pay only for what you use, and the provider takes care
of everything else.

​
# Cloud Computing Deployment Models

Cloud computing provides different ways to deploy and manage computing resources based
on an organization's needs. There are three main types of cloud deployment models:

1.​ Private Cloud​

2.​ Public Cloud​

3.​ Hybrid Cloud​

1. Private Cloud

●​ A private cloud is a dedicated cloud environment used exclusively by a single

organization.​
●​ It is restricted and only authorized users can access it.​

●​ Example: If Tata Motors sets up its own cloud infrastructure, only its employees can
use it.​

✅
●​ Advantages:​

✅
High security and control​

✅
Customizable based on business needs​
Best for industries that require data privacy (e.g., banking, healthcare)​

2. Public Cloud

●​ A public cloud is open to everyone and owned by third-party cloud providers.​

●​ Anyone can access and use its resources on a pay-per-use basis.​

●​ Example: Services like Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure provide public
cloud resources.​

✅
●​ Advantages:​

✅
Cost-effective (no need to maintain infrastructure)​

✅
Scalable and flexible​
Easy to use for startups and businesses with variable workloads​

3. Hybrid Cloud

●​ A combination of private and public clouds to provide the benefits of both.​

●​ Some features are open to everyone (public), while others are restricted (private).​

●​ Example: A company may use a private cloud for storing sensitive customer data
but a public cloud for hosting a website.​

✅
●​ Advantages:​

✅
Balances cost and security​

✅
Flexibility to use both cloud models​
Best for businesses that need both security and scalability​

Which Cloud Deployment Model Are We Using?

●​ We are using the Private Cloud model.​

●​ You are working as an ERP Consultant, not a Cloud Consultant.​

 ●​ Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is installed on a private cloud.​

●​ Cloud professionals handle the cloud infrastructure, while ERP consultants focus on
business processes, financial management, and system configurations within
the ERP system.​

Cloud Computing Services

Cloud computing services are classified into three major types:

1.​ SaaS (Software as a Service)​

2.​ PaaS (Platform as a Service)​

3.​ IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)​

Each of these services offers different levels of control, flexibility, and responsibility to
businesses using cloud technology.

1. SaaS (Software as a Service)

●​ SaaS is a ready-to-use software that is fully managed by a cloud vendor.​

●​ Users just need to log in and use the software without worrying about maintenance,
updates, or infrastructure.​

●​ Example: Gmail, Google Drive, Microsoft Office 365, Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP.​

✅
●​ Key Features:​

✅
Fully managed by the cloud vendor (you don’t need to maintain anything).​

✅
Limited customization (modifications are possible but restricted).​

✅
Easiest to use (no technical expertise required).​
Subscription-based pricing (pay-as-you-go).​

🔹 In our course, we are using the SaaS model because Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is
provided as a SaaS service.

2. PaaS (Platform as a Service)

●​ PaaS provides a platform for developing and deploying applications.​

●​ It offers pre-configured environments for developers to build, test, and deploy

applications.​

●​ Example: Google App Engine, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Microsoft Azure App Services.​

✅
●​ Key Features:​
Partially managed by the cloud vendor (about 70% vendor-managed, 30%

✅
user-managed).​
Allows developers to build and deploy apps without worrying about

✅
infrastructure.​
More flexibility compared to SaaS, but still some restrictions.​

3. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

●​ IaaS provides complete control over cloud infrastructure, including servers,
storage, and networking.​

●​ Companies manage their own software, applications, and databases, while the cloud
provider handles hardware and networking.​

●​ Example: Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine, Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines.​

✅
●​ Key Features:​

✅
Only 30% managed by the cloud vendor, 70% managed by the user.​

✅
Highly customizable (users can install and configure any software they need).​
Requires technical expertise (best suited for IT teams managing
infrastructure).​

Which Cloud Model Are We Using?

●​ We are using the SaaS model because Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is provided as
Software as a Service.​

●​ In SaaS, the cloud vendor (Oracle) manages everything, and users just log in to use
the software.​

●​ This is why most companies prefer SaaS—it reduces maintenance, costs, and
complexity.​

Summary of What We Have Discussed So Far

We have covered several important topics related to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, including:

1.​ Job Roles – You are working as a Functional Consultant.​

2.​ Cloud vs. On-Premise – We are working in the Cloud (Fusion Cloud ERP).​

3.​ Cloud Deployment Models – We use a Private Cloud.​

4.​ Cloud Computing Services – We use SaaS (Software as a Service).​

Now, let's move forward and discuss Offerings and Enabling Offerings in Oracle Fusion
Cloud ERP.
What is an Offering in Oracle Fusion Cloud?
In Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, an Offering refers to a business function or module that you
can enable and use in your ERP system.

Some of the most common Offerings in Oracle Fusion Cloud include:​

✔ Financials (Managing accounting, invoices, payments)​
✔ HCM (Human Capital Management) (Managing employees and payroll)​
✔ Supply Chain Management (Handling inventory, orders, suppliers)​
✔ Procurement (Managing purchases and supplier contracts)​
✔ Project Portfolio Management (Tracking projects and budgets)

There are a total of 28 Offerings available in Oracle Fusion Cloud.

Which Offerings Do We Need to Enable?

Since we are working as Financial Functional Consultants, we primarily need to enable:

1.​ Financials Offering​

2.​ Procurement Offering (since it is linked with finance)​

Steps to Enable Offerings in Oracle Fusion Cloud

To enable an offering, follow these steps:

Step 1: Log in to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP

●​ Open a web browser (Google Chrome, Edge, etc.).​

○​ If already enabled, no action is needed.​

○​ If not enabled, select it and enable it.​

●​ Similarly, check Procurement Offering and enable it if needed.​

●​ Some other Offerings (like Order Management) may not be enabled because they
are not licensed.​

Key Points to Remember

✅ Enabling an Offering is a one-time activity – Once enabled, it remains active.​
✅ Only licensed Offerings can be enabled – You cannot enable Offerings that are not
✅ Offerings define the modules you can work with in Oracle Fusion Cloud.​
purchased.​

✅ We are enabling Financials and Procurement as they are necessary for our role.

Understanding Frozen Versions in Oracle Fusion Cloud

1️⃣ What is a Version in Oracle Fusion Cloud?

A version in Oracle Fusion Cloud refers to a software update that introduces new features
and improvements. Each new version enhances the system with better functionality, bug
fixes, and optimizations.

2️⃣ How Are Versions Released?

Oracle follows a quarterly release cycle, meaning a new version is released every three
months.

🔹 Earlier Releases (Before Release 13)

●​ Oracle initially released Release 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and then Release 13.​

●​ After Release 13, instead of releasing Release 14, they switched to a quarterly
patch update system.​

🔹 After Release 13 – Quarterly Updates

●​ From 2016 onwards, each year has four updates:​

○​ Q1 → Version (e.g., 16A, 17A, 18A, etc.)​

○​ Q2 → Version (16B, 17B, 18B, etc.)​

○​ Q3 → Version (16C, 17C, 18C, etc.)​

○​ Q4 → Version (16D, 17D, 18D, etc.)​

Example:​
✔ 2016 Versions: 16A, 16B, 16C, 16D​
✔ 2017 Versions: 17A, 17B, 17C, 17D​
✔ 2023 Versions: 23A, 23B, 23C, 23D​
✔ 2024 Versions: 24A (latest)

3️⃣ Who Updates the Versions?

✅ Oracle automatically updates the cloud versions – users do not need to do anything.​
✅ Updates happen in the background without requiring manual intervention from users or
✅ All companies using Oracle Fusion Cloud always use the latest version.
companies.​

4️⃣ How to Check the Current Version in Oracle Fusion Cloud?

You can check the current version of Oracle Fusion Cloud inside the application.

Steps to Check the Version:

1️⃣ Login to Oracle Fusion Cloud using your credentials.​

2️⃣ Click on the Settings and Actions menu (top right corner).​
3️⃣ Select "About This Application".​
4️⃣ The current version will be displayed (e.g., 23D or 24A).

5️⃣ Key Points to Remember

✔ Oracle releases 4 versions per year (every three months).​

✔ Latest version as of now: 24A (March 2024).​
✔ All updates happen automatically in the cloud – no manual installation required.​
✔ The version can be checked under Settings and Actions > About This Application.

Understanding User Creation in Oracle Fusion Cloud

Creating users in Oracle Fusion Cloud is a fundamental step in setting up the system. Let’s
break it down into simple terms.

1️⃣ Why Do We Need to Create a User?

●​ You need a unique user to access the Fusion Cloud system.​

●​ Instead of using someone else’s credentials, you create your own implementation
user.​

●​ This user will help you configure and set up Tata Motors-related data in the
system.​

2️⃣ Types of Users in Oracle Fusion Cloud

There are two types of users in Oracle Fusion Cloud:

✅ 1. HCM (Human Capital Management) User​

🔹 Must be an employee of the company (e.g., Tata Motors).​
🔹 Used for regular employees who work in the company.​
🔹 Cannot be created until the company is set up in the system.
✅ 2. Implementation User​
🔹 Used by functional consultants working on the setup (e.g., TCS consultant working for
🔹 Does not require the person to be an employee of the company.​
Tata Motors).​

🔹 Needed to set up the company details before creating HCM users.

⚡ Since Tata Motors has not yet been set up in Fusion Cloud, we must first create an
Implementation User!

3️⃣ Where Are Users Created?

👨‍💻 Users are created in the "Security Console."​

🔹 The Security Console is used for:
●​ User creation (Implementation Users & HCM Users)​

●​ Access management (Giving permissions to users)​

4️⃣ Steps to Create an Implementation User

Step 1: Log in to the Fusion Cloud System

1️⃣ Open Internet Explorer/Google Chrome.​

2️⃣ Enter the Fusion Cloud URL (server link).​
3️⃣ Enter Admin User credentials (e.g., P133 username & password).​
4️⃣ Click Sign in.

Step 2: Navigate to Security Console

1️⃣ Click on the Navigator Menu (Three lines on the top left).​
2️⃣ Select Tools > Security Console.

Step 3: Create a New User

1️⃣ Click on Users tab.​

2️⃣ Click Add User Account.​
3️⃣ Enter the following details:

●​ Last Name → Example: Vishal​

●​ Username → Example: P134​

●​ Password → Create a password​

●​ Email ID → Enter your email​

4️⃣ Click Save and Close.​

✅ User "P134" is now created!

5️⃣ Step 4: Log in with the New User

1️⃣ Sign out of the admin account.​

2️⃣ Open the Fusion Cloud login page again.​
3️⃣ Enter the new user credentials (e.g., P134 username & password).​
4️⃣ Click Sign in.

🔹 What happens now?

●​ You have successfully logged in as P134.​

●​ BUT you won’t be able to do much because the new user does not have any
access yet.​

●​ Next step: Grant access to the user (covered in future lessons).​

6️⃣ Summary of Key Points

✔ Implementation User (P134) was created using Security Console.​

✔ This user will help set up Tata Motors in the Fusion Cloud system.​
✔ Logging in with P134 shows limited access since permissions have not yet been
granted.​
✔ Access needs to be assigned to allow full functionality.

Understanding Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Oracle Fusion

Cloud

Now that we have created a user (P134), we need to grant access so they can perform
tasks. This is done through Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).

1️⃣ What is Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)?

🔹 RBAC is a security model used in Oracle Fusion Cloud to control access based on
🔹 A role determines what screens a user can access and what activities they can
roles.​

🔹 Without roles, the user cannot do anything in the system.

perform.​
2️⃣ Types of Roles in Oracle Fusion Cloud
There are four types of roles that work together to grant access:

Role Type Purpose Example

Duty Role Small tasks a user can perform Invoice creation, Payment creation,
Employee creation

Job Role The position assigned to a user Clerk, HR Manager, Sales Manager

Abstract Generic roles assigned to users Employee, Manager

Role

Data Role Determines which company's data Tata Motors Data, Chemicals Data
a user can access

3️⃣ Understanding Each Role Type in Detail

🔹 Duty Role (Small Tasks or Responsibilities)
✅ A duty role represents a specific task that a user can perform.​
✅ Examples of duty roles:
●​ Invoice Creation​

●​ Payment Processing​

●​ Employee Hiring​

●​ User Creation​

💡 Think of it like tasks in a company. Many tasks (duties) exist, and different employees
are responsible for them.
🔹 Job Role (Position in the Company)
✅ A job role defines the position of an employee.​
✅ A job role consists of multiple duty roles.​
✅ Examples of job roles:
●​ Clerk (Can create invoices and process payments)​

●​ HR Manager (Can hire employees and manage payroll)​

●​ Sales Manager (Can handle customer orders and sales reports)​

💡 Think of it like job positions in a company. A clerk has different duties compared to an
HR Manager.

🔹 Abstract Role (Generic Role for All Employees)

✅ An abstract role is a general role that applies to many users.​
✅ Examples of abstract roles:
●​ Employee (All workers are employees, regardless of position)​

●​ Manager (A general term; could be HR Manager, Sales Manager, etc.)​

💡 Think of it as a basic identity in the company. Every employee has a job, but
"Employee" itself is not a specific job.

🔹 Data Role (Determines Which Data a User Can Access)

✅ A data role specifies which company’s data the user can work on.​
✅ Examples of data roles:
●​ Tata Motors Data​

●​ Chemicals Data​

●​ Python Ltd. Data​

💡 Think of it as restricting access to specific companies. A clerk might be able to

create invoices, but only for Tata Motors, not for other companies.
4️⃣ How These Roles Work Together
To give a user full access, all four roles need to be assigned together.

Example Scenario

Let’s say we recruit Pranav as an employee and assign him the role of a Clerk.

Step What Happens?

1️⃣ Assign Abstract Pranav is assigned the Employee role.

Role

2️⃣ Assign Job Role Pranav is assigned the Clerk job role.

3️⃣ Assign Duty The Clerk job includes Invoice Creation and Payment
Roles Processing duties.

4️⃣ Assign Data Role Pranav is assigned to Tata Motors Data, so he can only work with
Tata Motors invoices.

✅ Final Access: Pranav (Employee) → Clerk (Job) → Invoice Creation (Duty) → Tata
Motors Data (Data Role)

💡 This combination of roles gives him access to perform specific tasks for a specific
company.

5️⃣ Predefined vs. Custom Roles

🔹 Oracle Fusion provides many predefined roles.​
🔹 You can assign these predefined roles to users directly.​
🔹 If needed, you can create custom roles, but this is usually done later.

6️⃣ Summary
✔ RBAC controls access in Oracle Fusion Cloud.​
✔ Roles determine what users can do.​
✔ There are four types of roles: Duty, Job, Abstract, and Data Roles.​
✔ All roles must be combined to give full access.​
✔ Predefined roles exist, but custom roles can be created if needed.

Understanding Security Console & Admin Role in Oracle Fusion Cloud

Now that we have created a user (P134), we want to make P134 an admin user so that we
don’t have to use another admin user (P133). This is done using the Security Console.

1️⃣ What is the Security Console?

🔹 Security Console is a tool used in Oracle Fusion Cloud to manage users and roles.​
🔹 It allows you to:
●​ Create users​

●​ Modify users​

●​ Delete users​

●​ Assign roles to users​

💡 Think of the Security Console as the admin control panel for user management.

2️⃣ How to Make P134 an Admin User?

Step 1: Assign the Admin Role to P134

🔹 To make P134 an admin user, we need to assign the IT Security Manager role.​
🔹 The IT Security Manager role is a job role that contains duties like:
●​ User creation​

●​ User modification​

●​ User deletion​

Steps to Assign IT Security Manager Role to P134:

 1.​ Sign in as an Admin User (P133)​

○​ Log in with P133 (current admin user).​

2.​ Go to Security Console​

○​ Click Navigator → Tools → Security Console​

3.​ Search for User P134​

○​ Click on Users tab​

○​ Enter P134 in the search bar and click Search​

○​ Click on Username P134​

4.​ Edit User and Add Role​

○​ Click Edit (Top-right corner)​

○​ Click Add Role​

○​ Search for IT Security Manager​

○​ Select IT Security Manager role​

○​ Click Add Role Membership → Done​

5.​ Save Changes​

○​ Click Save and Close → Done​

6.​ Sign Out​

💡 Now, P134 has the IT Security Manager role assigned. But we need to check if it
works.

Step 2: Verify if P134 Has Admin Access

1.​ Sign in as P134​

○​ Use P134 credentials to log in.​

2.​ Go to Security Console​

 ○​ Click Navigator → Tools → Security Console​

3.​ Check Admin Access​

○​ If you see "Add User Account", that means you have admin access.​

○​ You can now create, modify, or delete users.​

💡 If you can access the Security Console and see "Add User Account", P134 is now
an Admin!

3️⃣ Summary
✔ Security Console is used to manage users and assign roles.​
✔ IT Security Manager role is needed to become an admin.​
✔ Admin user can create, modify, and delete users.​
✔ We assigned IT Security Manager role to P134 using P133.​
✔ Now, P134 is the admin user, and we no longer need P133.

Understanding Functional Setup Manager (FSM) in Oracle Fusion

Now that we have made P134 an admin user, the next step is to give it access to
Functional Setup Manager (FSM) to configure the system for a business.

1️⃣ What is Functional Setup Manager (FSM)?

🔹 FSM (Functional Setup Manager) is a tool in Oracle Fusion Cloud used to perform
🔹 Every company has different elements that need to be set up, such as:
system configurations and setups.​

●​ Company Name (e.g., Tata Motors)​

●​ Branches​

●​ Products​

●​ Employees​

●​ Vendors & Customers​

 ●​ Accounting Books​

💡 FSM is where you create all these setups inside Oracle Fusion Cloud.

2️⃣ How to Access FSM?

To access FSM, a user needs the Application Implementation Consultant role.

💡 This role gives access to setup screens where configurations can be made for
different modules like:​
✔ Financials (GL, AP, AR)​
✔ Human Capital Management (HCM)​
✔ Procurement​
✔ Supply Chain Management (SCM)​
✔ Order Management

3️⃣ Assign FSM Access to P134

Since P134 is already an admin user, we will now assign the Application Implementation
Consultant role to it.

Step 1: Assign "Application Implementation Consultant" Role to P134

1.​ Log in as P134​

2.​ Go to Security Console​

○​ Click Navigator → Tools → Security Console​

3.​ Search for P134​

○​ Click on Users tab​

○​ Enter P134 in the search bar and click Search​

○​ Click on Username P134​

4.​ Edit User and Add Role​

○​ Click Edit (Top-right corner)​

 ○​ Click Add Role​

○​ Search for Application Implementation Consultant​

○​ Select Application Implementation Consultant role​

○​ Click Add Role Membership → Done​

5.​ Save and Close​

○​ Click Save and Close → Done​

6.​ Sign Out and Sign In Again​

○​ Changes may take time, so sign out and sign back in.​

💡 Now, P134 has access to FSM. Next, we verify if it works.

Step 2: Verify FSM Access

1.​ Log in as P134​

2.​ Go to Setup and Maintenance​

○​ Click Navigator → My Enterprise → Setup and Maintenance​

3.​ Check if FSM is accessible​

○​ If you can see Setup Options for all offerings, then the role is assigned
successfully.​

○​ You can now configure Financials, HCM, SCM, Procurement, and Order
Management setups.​

💡 Now, P134 has the ability to configure the system using FSM.

4️⃣ FSM Terminology

Oracle Fusion applications are structured as follows:
 Level Description Example

Applicatio The main system Oracle Fusion Cloud

n

Offerings Major modules in Fusion Financials, HCM, SCM, Procurement

Options Functional areas within General Ledger, Accounts Payable,

offerings Procurement

Features Specific setup elements Journals, Calendar, Supplier Management

5️⃣ Summary
✔ FSM (Functional Setup Manager) is used to configure Oracle Fusion applications.​
✔ Access to FSM is granted by assigning the "Application Implementation
Consultant" role.​
✔ We assigned this role to P134 so it can perform setups.​
✔ FSM is where we configure business entities like companies, employees,
accounting books, and more.

Project Implementation in Oracle Fusion

Oracle Fusion provides a structured way to manage projects and tasks using the
Functional Setup Manager (FSM). Here’s a breakdown of how to create and manage a
project in Oracle Fusion Cloud.

1️⃣ What is a Project?

A project in Fusion Cloud is a structured set of tasks that need to be completed within a
specific timeframe.
🔹 Key Components of a Project:​
✔ Project Name​
✔ Start Date & End Date​
✔ List of Tasks (E.g., Financial Offering Setup, Procurement Setup)​
✔ Project Manager – Oversees the project​
✔ Team Members – Work on tasks assigned to them

2️⃣ Who Manages a Project?

👤 Project Manager (PM):​
✔ Monitors project progress​
✔ Assigns tasks to team members​
✔ Ensures project is completed within the timeline

👥 Team Members:​
✔ Work on assigned tasks​
✔ Update task status (In Progress, Completed)

💡 Example:​
Airtel is implementing Oracle Fusion Financials. The Project Manager is responsible for
ensuring that the financial module is set up correctly, and team members will complete
different tasks.

3️⃣ How to Create a Project in FSM?

To create a project, the user must have access to the system by assigning the Application
Implementation Manager role.

Step 1: Assign the "Application Implementation Manager" Role

1️⃣ Log in to Oracle Fusion as an Admin​
