Best Practice Business Processes

Business Process Model Library
Oracle Fusion Applications are based on
Business Process Models Notations
(BPMNs) that are presented in a fivelevel hierarchy from conceptual view to
application specific view.
Levels of business process hierarchy as
depicted in BPMNs are:

Industry: L0
Business process area: L1
Business process: L2
Activity: L3
Task: L4

Fusion ERP BPMN Diagrams are

categorized into five Business Processes
(L1) :

Procurement
Project Management
Financial Control & Reporting
Cash and Treasury Management
Asset Lifecycle Management

The following documents on My Oracle Support will help with your Data Conversion and
Integration milestones
Oracle ERP Cloud Service Integration: Doc ID 1990910.1

Fusion Implementation Best Practices

On Premise vs. SaaS plan appropriately
Cannot run SQL directly against a cloud environment (either use reporting
tools to query the data or log a Service Request in My Oracle Support there
is 2 day lead time for Cloud Operations to perform this)
Descriptive Flexfields are loaded by Cloud Operations (log an SR there is a 3
to 4 day lead time)
OIM Single Sign On: Plan for 2 weeks to coordinate security integration
2 instances vs. typical 5 instances (on premise)
SaaS means Shared
Shared Hardware
Shared Software
Shared Support
