Small Circle Brainstorm Sessions with SIG-Leaders: Your Enterprise Structure, Your Challenges

We invite you to participate in a unique opportunity to discuss fundamental aspects of your ERP systems future in a small circle of experienced industry leaders. This will help you in your Fusion Cloud migration or preparation, or your R12 path forward. The sessions will be invite-only events, with 2-3 companies discussing their configurations and challenges with enterprise structures and related processes. We will focus on fundamental structures, such as Ledgers, Legal Entities, Fusion Business Units, R12 Operating Units, and Intercompany Automation, both for costing based and GL journal based transactions. We will try to clarify the confusing terminology, highlight functionality changes between R12 and Fusion Cloud (now and future). Starting point of all conversations will be your company’s requirements and core interests. We have identified some of the most common areas of interest, such as:

• Global Processes - Supply Chain Optimization

• Intercompany Automation

• Access and Data Security and Separation

• Multi-Systems - Hybrid Configuration

• Maximum Flexibility for Enterprise, Business, and Legal Changes

• Master Data Management Simplification

• Corporate and Local Legal Compliance

• Improved Shared Service Support

The sessions will be facilitated by SIG leaders from the Multi-National, GL, and Costing Special Interest Groups. Sessions will be held over the next few weeks leading up to the Ascend-22 user group conference.

Please log your interest areas below and sign up for advance registration, session dates will be set individually. Take advantage of this special opportunity!

Also, if you are available please join us for our initial planning session to discuss topics and schedules.

INTERCOMPANY - EXPLORING THE CAPABILITY IN ORACLE CLOUD FINANCIALS

Intercompany (IC) has been the bane for most large organizations and there have been multiple solutions around the process that have proliferated the market since the advent of the initial ERP systems.

Many ERP systems have some sort of solution for the IC process flow – but most (or many) do not have a comprehensive solution from beginning to end (initiation to settlement). Having said that, the current version of FUSION Intercompany seems to manage and cover the flow to 70-80% which, at the moment, excludes settlement!

This session will take you through the initiating artifacts of an IC transaction; the resultant/inherent configurations needed to support appropriate accounting; and address the financial needs of an Enterprise Intercompany contract between its Legal Entities. It will also include some inherent internal machinations where IC impact and accounting will be addressed.

Join The GL and the Costing SIGs to learn how we can manage intercompany transactions and what drives accounting and in a general manner; the surprises and caveats during an implementation that you will need to be aware of.

Learning Objectives:
1. Understand how IC in the ERP/SCM Cloud product is configured and what it addresses
2. Learn configuration specifics for an Intercompany transaction flow from a material movement perspective
3. Learn configuration specifics for an Intercompany transaction flow from an accounting - GL, IC perspective

Presented by:
@Doug Volz – Cost Management SIG Coordinator
Kaushik Sivakumar - Director, Oracle SCM Cloud Product Management
@Shyamsundar Santhanam – Director, Oracle ERP Cloud Financials Product Management
@Mohan Iyer - Principal Consultant ​​​​​​

• PROCESS MINING - A NEW LEVEL OF PROCESS TRANSPARENCY AND CONTROL

USE CASE : INVOICE TO CASH PROCESS

More process transparency. Comprehensive process competence. In the upcoming webinar on November 23, 2021, our international partners MEHRWERK and PROMATIS will show you how PROCESS mining can bridge the gap between continuous data-driven monitoring and diagnosis within business process management. Finally, a business process management tool is available that allows to monitor and diagnose the process execution itself. This “feeder tool” for continuous data-driven analysis has been missing to date. MEHRWERK enables you to access the data that processes themselves have left behind in your company's IT systems. Experience live how you can take control of your Invoice-to-Cash processes and raise them to a new level.

“Application of process mining in hundreds of organizations worldwide shows that managers and users alike tend to overestimate their knowledge of their own processes. Process mining results can thus be viewed as X-rays revealing what really goes on inside processes and can be used to diagnose problems and suggest proper treatment.” Wil Van Der Aalst, IT Analyst, Process and Data Science
