|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Functionalities : Gaining efficiencies by having efficient business processes supported by Cloud | |||||
| Part Numbering |  |
Different item numbering formats can be setup based on item class | Same Item numbering formats across all item types |
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
Flexibility in defining item numbering |
| Workflow | |
Utilizes the advanced Oracle Cloud PLM workflow | Only Engineering module provides basic approvals for change orders |
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
Brings efficiency and structure around maintenance processes |
| Item Revisions | |
Improved to support 18 character revision with effectivity based sorting | Allows only 3 character revision with alphanumeric sort
|
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
Cloud application does not have rigid revision nomenclature rules (enforced alphanumeric sort sequence) that has limited usability for many use cases in EBS |
| Data Access and Security | |
Additional Attributes (EFF) defined for various item classes can be used to manage Access and Security of items. This feature is only available for Item Attributes and not available for Item Structures, Work Definitions etc. | Functionality to restrict attribute updates selectively is not available. Changes are controlled based on Master/ Child organization and item status |
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
While EFF allows unlimited attributes similar to UDA, EFFs can also be used for security and access and UDA cannot |
| Attribute Inheritance |  |
EFF attributes from an item class can be inherited by its sub-classes | Functionality not available |
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
It would be an all green score had it supported inheritance of not only just attributes but also values |
| Rules and Controls | |
Cross attribute validations in addition to being system defined can also be extended using 'Item Rules' and 'Rule Sets' | Cross attribute validations are system defined |
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
Reduces downstream errors caused by poor product data |
| Mass Creation of Items |  |
Use File Based Data Import/ Item Batches - user friendly spreadsheet templates to enter item information | Populate data in Interface tables for mass creation of Items |
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
Business users can create product data efficiently without help from IT |
| Mass Updates | |
Browse and select items for mass updates, make changes online or using spreadsheets | Use Oracle Standard EBS interface tables for mass updates |
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
Business users can maintain product data efficiently without help from IT |
| Build Complex Supply Chains | |
Item and item structures can be defined using a single screen, provided all item components are available | Item and Bills of Material are created using different screens |
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
It would be an all green score had it supported a multi org item structure and work definition creation using single screen |
| Migrations/ Conversion : Quick and reliable path to cloud | |||||
| Items Conversion | |
MS Excel based templates have been provided to import various master data components, for e.g. items, revisions, associations, categories, relationships, flexfields | Custom programs utilizing standard API for items (master data) conversion |
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
Faster migration to cloud with simplified conversion process |
| Integration with External Applications | |
Integration available using -

| Reporting and Analytics : Easy, advanced visualizations | |||||
| Product Data Management Dashboard | |
Easily configurable interactactive and actionable dashboards | No standard dashboard available in application |
Improves Efficiency Process Improvement Improves Data Integrity Eliminates Extension/ Workarounds Improves Compliance |
Fusion applications provide high level of flexibility to maximize the use of data using actionable graphs, machine learning and artificial intelligence |
| Reports | |
Highly flexible reporting providing excellent data visualization are available using Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) | Limited standard reports availability and requires development of custom reports |
