10 - Presentation Transcript
1. Differences between R12 & 11i.5.10 New R12 Features Upgrade Assessment
2. Upgrade to R12 Pros and Cons Pros:
o Sub-ledger Accounting The new Oracle Sub-ledger Accounting (SLA)
architecture allows users to customize the standard Oracle accounting
entries. As a result of Cost Management's uptake of this new architecture,
users can customize their accounting for Receiving, Inventory and
Manufacturing transactions.
o Enhanced Reporting Currency (MRC) Functionality Multiple Reporting
Currencies functionality is enhanced to support all journal sources.
Reporting sets of books in R12 are now simply reporting currencies. Every
journal that is posted in the primary currency of a ledger can be
automatically converted into one or more reporting currencies.
o Deferred COGS and Revenue Matching R12 provides the ability to
automatically maintain the same recognition rules for COGS and revenue
for each sales order line for each period. Deferred COGS and Deferred
Revenue are thus kept in synch.

Cons:

o Resources Availability of knowledgeable resources

o Maturity Though R12 is around since 2007, not all the modules are
mature enough meaning modules like E-B Tax have many bugs being
fixed by Oracle development.
o Integration with customized applications In a customized environment,
all the extensions & interfaces need to be analyzed because of the
architectural changes in R12.
3. R12 Features and differences with 11.5.10 Inventory / Cost Management
o Multi-Organization Access Control (MOAC) - Multi-Org Access Control

WIP Value Report, Material Overhead Absorption Rule, EAM work order,
and PAC EAM Work Order Cost Estimate Processor Report.
o Component Yield benefits - Component yield functionality user have the
flexibility to control the value of component yield factors and use those
factors for back flush transactions. Of course if the yield factor is not used,
yield losses can be accounted for using the manual component issue
transaction.

5. R12 Features and differences with 11.5.10 Order Management

o Multi-Organization Access Control (MOAC) - Multi-Org Access Control
enables uses to access multiple operating units data from single
responsibility. Users can access reports , Concurrent programs , all setup
screens of multiple operating units from single responsibility without
switching responsibilities. They can also use Order Import to bring in
orders for different Operating Units from within a single responsibility.
 The same applies to the Oracle Order Management Public Application
Program Interfaces (APIs).
o Post Booking Item Substitution - Item Substitution functionality support
has been extended to post-Booking through Scheduling/re-scheduling in
Sales Order, Quick Sales Order, and Scheduling Order Organizer forms.
Item Substitution functionality is also supported from Planners
Workbench (loop-back functionality) till the line is pick-released.

are allowed to order which products, and the ability to apply the business
logic when the order is created.
o Mass Scheduling Enhancements Mass Scheduling can now schedule
lines that never been scheduled or those that have failed manual
scheduling. Mass Scheduling also supports unscheduling and rescheduling
o Exception Management Enhancements Improved visibility to workflow
errors and eases the process of retrying workflows that have experienced
processing errors
o Sales Order Reservation for Lot-Based Jobs Lot-Based Jobs as a Source
of Supply to Reserve Against Sales Order(s). OSFM Displays Sales Order
Information on Reserved Jobs
o Cascading Attributes Cascading means that if the Order header attributes
change, the corresponding line attributes change
o Customer Credit Check Hold Source Support across Operating Units -
Order Management honors credit holds placed on customers from AR
across operating Units. When Receivables places a customer on credit
hold a hold source will be created in all operating units which have:
A site defined for that customer
An order placed against that customer.
