1. Differences between R12 & 11i.5.10 New R12 Features Upgrade Assessment

2. Upgrade to R12 – Pros and Cons Pros: Cons: • Sub-ledger Accounting – The new Oracle Sub-ledger • Resources –
Availability of knowledgeable resources Accounting (SLA) architecture allows users to customize the standard
Oracle accounting entries. As a result of Cost • Maturity – Though R12 is around since 2007, not all the
Management's uptake of this new architecture, users can modules are mature enough meaning modules like E-B
customize their accounting for Receiving, Inventory and Tax have many bugs being fixed by Oracle development.
Manufacturing transactions. • Integration with customized applications – In a • Enhanced Reporting Currency (MRC)
Functionality – customized environment, all the extensions & interfaces Multiple Reporting Currencies functionality
is enhanced to need to be analyzed because of the architectural support all journal sources. Reporting sets of
books in R12 changes 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. • 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.

3. R12 Features and differences with 11.5.10 – Inventory / Cost Management New Features: • 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. • Unified Inventory - R12 merges Oracle Process
Manufacturing OPM Inventory and Oracle Inventory applications into a single version . So OPM users can leverage
the functionalities such as consigned & VMI and center led procurement which were available only to discrete
inventory in 11i.5.10. • Inventory valuation Reports -There are a significant number of reports which have been
enhanced in the area of Inventory Value Reporting • Inventory Genealogy - Enhanced genealogy tracking with
simplified, complete access at the component level to critical lot and serial information for material throughout
production. • Fixed Component Usage Materials Enhancement – Enhanced BOM setup screen and WIP Material
Requirement screen that support materials having a fixed usage irrespective of the job size for WIP Jobs, OSFM lot-
based jobs, or Flow Manufacturing • Component Yield Enhancements - New functionality that provides flexibility to
control the value of component yield factors at WIP job level. This feature allows the user to include or exclude
yield factor while calculating back flush transactions. • Periodic Average Cost Absorption Enhancements –
Enhanced functionality for WIP Final Completion, WIP Scrap Absorption, PAC WIP Value Report, Material Overhead
Absorption Rule, EAM work order, and PAC EAM Work Order Cost Estimate Processor Report. • 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.

4. R12 Features and differences with 11.5.10 – Advanced Procurement Suite New Features: • Professional Buyer’s
Work Center – To speed up buyers’ daily purchasing tasks – view & act upon requisition demand, create & manage
orders and agreements, run negotiation events, manage supplier information. • Freight and Miscellaneous Charges
– New page for viewing acquisition cost to track freight & miscellaneous delivery cost components while receiving.
Actual delivery costs are tracked during invoice matching. • Complex Contract Payments – Support for payments
for services related procurement including progress payments, recoupment of advances, and retainage. • Unified
Inventory – Support for the converged inventory between Oracle Process Manufacturing – OPM Inventory & Oracle
Inventory. • Document Publishing Enhancements – Support for RTF & PDF layouts and publish contracts using user
specified layouts • Support for Contractor Purchasing Users – Support for contingent workers to create & maintain
requisitions, conduct negotiations, and purchase orders.

5. R12 Features and differences with 11.5.10 – Order Management New Features: • 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). • 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 Planner’s Workbench
(loop-back functionality) till the line is pick-released. • Item Orderability - Businesses need the ability to define
which customers are allowed to order which products, and the ability to apply the business logic when the order is
created. • 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 •
Exception Management Enhancements – Improved visibility to workflow errors and eases the process of retrying
workflows that have experienced processing errors • 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 •
Cascading Attributes – Cascading means that if the Order header attributes change, the corresponding line
attributes change • 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.

6. R12 Features and differences with 11.5.10 – Shipping New Features: • Pick Release/Confirm Features • Pick Release
enhancements - Enhancements will be made to the Release Sales Order Form and the Release Rules Form to
support planned crossdocking and task priority for Oracle Warehouse Management (WMS) organizations. Pick
release will allow a user to specify location methods and if crossdocking is required, a cross- dock rule. The task
priority will be able to be set for each task in a sales order picking wave when that wave is pick released. The
priority indicated at pick release will be defaulted to every Oracle WMS task created • Parallel Pick Release
Submission - This new feature will allow users to run multiple pick release processes in parallel to improve overall
performance. By distributing the workload across multiple processors, users can reduce the overall time required
for a single pick release run. • Workflow Shipping Transaction Enhancement – Oracle has enabled Workflow in the
Shipping process for: workflow, process workflow, activity and notification workflow, and business event • Support
for Miscellaneous Shipping Transactions - Oracle Shipping Execution users will now be able to create a delivery for
a shipment that is not tied to a sales order via XML (XML-equivalent of EDI 940 IN). Once this delivery has been
created, users will be able to print shipping documents, plan, rate, tender, audit and record the issuance out of
inventory. Additionally, an XML Shipment Advice (XML- equivalent of EDI 945 OUT) will be supported to record the
outbound transactions. • Flexible Documents: With this new feature ,Shipping Execution users will be able to create
template-based, easy-to-use formats to quickly produce and easily maintain shipping documents unique to their
business. Additional attributes will be added to the XML templates for each report for added flexibility • Enhanced
LPN Support - Oracle Shipping Execution users will now have improved visibility to the Oracle WMS packing
hierarchy at Pick Confirmation. The packing hierarchy, including the License Plate Number (LPN), will be visible in
the Shipping Transactions form as well as in the Quick Ship user interface.

7. R12 Features and differences with 11.5.10 – Warehouse Management New Features: • Crossdock Execution – WMS
