Functional Setup Manager: Product Overview
Review setup requirements Plan: Getting Started Review setup requirements Use predefined Offerings for guided implementations Review reports to get full visibility to implementation requirements Feature/Functionality details Setup data requirements Impacted transactional processes Why? To prepare for the decisions needed in the later phases of the implementation
Configure: Configure Offerings Configure for your business Configure Offerings to match your business requirements Select applicable features to customize implementation Why? The auto generated list of setup tasks for your implementation will be tailored to your selections
Implement: Manage Implementation Projects Generate Setup Task List Create Implementation Project to generate setup task list Get complete transparency to end-to-end setup requirements Note… Your configuration determines which tasks are included/excluded from the list Sequential list shows all dependencies
Implement: Manage Implementation Projects Enter setup data through self-service Open setup UI directly from assigned task to enter data
Export/Import: Manage Configuration Package Rapid start with setup Export/Import Deploy setup at a new instance by using export and import Why? Set up once and then reuse to rapid start Fusion Applications implementation at many instances
Export/Import: Manage Configuration Package Create export/import definition Select an implementation project to create a configuration package for setup export and import Why? Setup data hierarchy of the implementation project determines the sequence in which setup data is exported and imported
Export/Import: Manage Configuration Packages Customize setup data export/import View data to be exported and imported and their default sequencing If applicable: Exclude any data from export by un- checking Change default import sequence Filter exported data Know your data before you customize If your customization excludes setup data needed by other setups, import might fail
Export/Import: Manage Configuration Packages Validate data after export and import View setup data reports after export and import Open UI directly from exported/imported object list
Maintain: Search and Perform Tasks Maintain setup over time Search and perform tasks on one-off basis to maintain setup over time Why? Quick and easy data maintenance without an elaborate implementation project
