Hindsite - Hitachi Consulting's Oracle
R12 Migration Assessment Tool Mario Montag, Senior Manager, U.S. Oracle Solutions, Hitachi Consulting Our presentation will be about Hindsite - our Oracle R12 Migration Assessment Tool. There are many compelling reasons to upgrade to Oracle R12 - significant new functionality, a first step on the path to Fusion Apps, and dwindling 11i support. However, knowing the full scope and impact of such a project can be difficult to assess on your own. Most companies delay migrating R12 as they struggle with the same questions: - What are the benefits? - How will our system be impacted? - How can we determine and mitigate the risks? - How much time and resources will be required? - What is the budget? - What can we upgrade versus re-implement? Hitachi Consulting has developed an interactive online planning tool called Hindsite that helps companies answer these questions, and assists them to make the right upgrade or re-implementation decision for their organization |

Hosted Catalogs using iProcurement in
R12.0.4 Parag Jain, ERP Lead, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc Solution(s): 1. Create local content zones and group into one or more stores by: Analyzing the content that requesters want to see and define the catalog schema. o There are two types of categories (items and browsing). Item Categories are the same as shopping categories in iProcurement and are the individual categories. These categories are normally mapped to oracle Purchasing categories (ex. Pens map to SUPPLIES.OFFICE). Browsing Categories are used to group Item categories. This is done in the Schema/Category Hierarchy sub-tab. o So if you choose a Browsing category, it will contain all the item categories within that Browsing category. Choosing an Item category will only contain that one individual category. Determine what type of container makes sense for the items and services your requesters wants access to and define your content zones. Create or upload the catalog data. o Create Global Blanket Purchase Orders o Add line level items on line or via bulk load • If needed, organize your content zones into stores. o Content Zones are segments of catalog content that administrators can define based on supplier, supplier site and category. In addition, the administrator can use inclusionary or exclusionary rules to determine whether certain items should be included or excluded from a specified Content Zone. Solution2. Create Requisition Templates which will create Shopping Lists in iProcurement Requisition templates in Purchasing are a pre-filled listing of frequently ordered items. This feature, accessible through the Supplier Item Catalog or as a shopping list in iProcurement lets you quickly create requisitions for commonly purchased items. Buyers create templates that group commonly ordered items like office supplies into one place. Requisition Templates can have both system items and expense items. Requisition Templates can have different suppliers per line item or group of line items Solution 3. Supplier Hosted Catalogs on Oracle Exchange Instead of adding items to the Exchange unified catalog, sellers can set up the Exchange to host their own catalogs. Create a link on the Exchange that goes directly to the supplier-hosted catalog Buyers can add items from the supplier hosted catalog directly to their shopping carts on the exchange Benefits and Objectives: 1. Local Content Zones Local catalogs will allow BioMarin to manage the purchase of items from suppliers that they do not wish to have their entire catalog available for ordering Limit the visibility of a suppliers items to only those that have a negotiated price Create a hierarchy for browsing and selecting items according to specific purchasing categories and shopping categories 2. Create Requisition Templates Easiest installation and flexible for multiple suppliers with limited item selection Group items by shopping category or supplier Can handle both system and expense type items 3. Supplier Hosted Catalogs on Oracle Exchange Supplier has responsibility for managing the catalog and pricing information Users would search by category on exchange and see a link to the supplier hosted catalog Requires the supplier to create new categories, add new base attributes and category attributes, and create the hierarchies that support this schema |
