The Anatomy of Fusion Applications “The best of the best”


Fusion represents the amalgamation of functionality from multiple product lines reconciled through a common business process model, delivered in a single data model, and built on native, standard middleware technology including embedded analytics content. Fusion is not “just” a next release, it’s an epoch.

Legal Entity & Legal Employer

• EBS introduced the notion of Legal Entity in Release 12

Financials.

• Fusion reconciles the concept of Legal Entities in Financials with

the preexisting concept of Legal Employers in HCM and unifies

the set up flow.

Legal Entity Timezone

• Automatically adjust the date of a transaction to ensure that it is posted on the correct day for the Legal Entity that it effects.

The Anatomy of Fusion Applications Composers


Fusion Composers • An Abstraction Layer That Shields Users from the Complexity of Software

Development

WHAT WE DID

1. Conducted pattern analysis to understand how

organizations typically modify their business

applications

2. Designed 4 Fusion Composers to model these

patterns

3. Built Composers to provide a highly visual,

guided experience through wizards

4. Eliminated the need for users to learn how to

write code in order to modify their applications


Tailor applications to evolving needs Modify Fusion Applications with easy-to-use tools

Report Composer

• Create new objects and add attributes

• Changes appear in reports, screens

and integration interfaces

• Add, remove, show, or hide

components on a page

• Add or change process steps

• Adjust processing rules or

Sally Composers

Sally Changes…

• Opportunity Page Layout

• Opportunity Business Object

• Opportunity Page Detail

• BI Report Opportunities

• A sandbox is created for Sally

– Stores all of Sally’s changes

• Sally’s changes are stored in MDS

– Separately from original metadata


MDS Layers for Fusion Applications Powerful Adaptability

Key Capabilities

• Changes can be stored as hierarchical

layers on top of base application

• Industry Specialization

• Regional and Country needs

• Facility/Site Personalities

• Role Specific Changes

• User Personalization

Benefits

• Efficient Adaptability for variable

requirements in the enterprise

How Layers Are Applied

• Layers are applied from top to bottom

• General to more specific

• More specific layers always override

layers prior

• For example, changes made at the

Organization layer will be superseded

by those made at the Product layer

Fusion Search Secure Enterprise Search

• Fusion Applications and Fusion Search are two

separate instances.

• Application data is selectively moved to Search.

• Search contains Searchable, Display, Security

attributes

• Use simple search UI to find information

- My authorized Business Units, Cost Centers, etc.

• Results are governed by Security Policies

Fusion Search A practical example

Joe attended a trade show in Fort Collins.

One supplier he liked a lot was ABC. Terry

Green from ABC was in regular touch with Joe

keeping him informed of the order status, and

as a courtesy had even met with him in person

for dinner at the hotel. Months later, while

preparing for the next trade show, Joe is trying

to remember contact information for Terry

and ABC.
