Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Global implementation of R12.1 and ongoing support from Accounting & Finance functions. I supported all users training, requirements, and remediations to ensure the software met our business needs.

Pros

  • Security: Responsibilities restrict users to entities and functions
  • Access: Easy to login and integrate other softwares like WebADI journal entry uploads
  • Customization: You can re-arrange fields in your entry screens to align with your invoices ,etc.

Cons

  • Compatibility: EBS should be up to date to work with Excel and other business applications.
  • Java: Old version of Java was needed to support application.
  • Integration: Although you can export data, it is often just a csv or txt file. It would be better to have formatted reports and excel templates.

Likelihood to Recommend

Scalable solution for any business size that can be customized with dynamic flex fields to capture the transaction data you need. We have deployed this ERP internationally and it supports the FX and languages we need. Also, it handles dynamic tax calculations, regardless of the complexity of global jurisdictions.

A user review about Oracle

Rating: 6 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Hi, I used Oracle R12 for billing and cash application purpose in order to cash domain. We generally doing invoicing using Oracle E-Business for our stockholders and also doing cash application by knocking off the invoice against payment received. We also fetch reports of large number of data from Oracle E-Business in our day to day activities to complete our task with more effectively and accuracy. The only drawback which I faced while using it the latency issue.

Pros

  • Showing payment posting against each invoice which had been knocked off.
  • Customer credit limit history and an option to control customer limit in case of any risk.
  • Every thing is inter Linked while doing invoicing which help the user to minimise the mistake and also it's user friendly

Cons

  • Latency issue- it works too slow. Oracle team really need to work on this as it will help to increase productivity of the user.
  • When there is a network issue for few second or disconnect. The whole Oracle page got stucked and it took a long time to restore as we need to close all pages and then reopen it.
  • Oracle team need to work on upgradtion and need to add new features which will help the business to grow by minimising the error or manual work

Likelihood to Recommend

It's works too slow that why i don't want to recommend it to anyone. Sometimes it makes the user to frustrated

E-Business Suite an excellent product for a big business.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I direct implementation projects of Oracled EBusiness Suite; I have about 10 years of leading this kind of project. But as an internal consultant and external consultant, I have been working with different modules of E-Business Suites, implementing and supporting. I have worked with General Ledger, Account Payables, Account Receivables, Inventory, Purchasing, Bills of Materials, Work In Process, Assets, Cash Management, Order Management, Accounting Hub, and a system administrator. The E-Business Suite has dozen and dozens of modules that can help your organization to solve different business requirements, with multiple APIs and interfaces to connect with your legacy systems or to receive information from different sources and then produce the information that you need. I have implemented modules in different companies, from Telecomm, car manufacturing, oil, food, banks, and others. One of the advantages is that EBS business flows are very complete, and you can buy and implement modules as you can or require.

Pros

  • General Ledger. Accounting for many enterprises, consolidation process.
  • Payables as you can control the invoice age and make the payment at the right moment.
  • Budget Control stops you to over expend, even at the purchase requisition moment.
  • Cash conciliation, a very good process.
  • Cost Management with the right inventory cost with different methods.
  • Easy with client orders in order management, and good shipping process.
  • Nice interface between client orders and receivables invoicing.

Cons

  • Inventory management, as can get better.
  • Applying Adjustments to receivables invoices.
  • Work IN Process, at the moment of moving assemblies between work stations.
  • Designing indented bills in Bill of Materials.

Likelihood to Recommend

The best suited: When you need a very robust solution where you want a perpetual license product with multiple ways of deployment. And, because of the nature of the business or because of external legal requirements, your business needs multiple customizations. You can deploy EBS in cloud infrastructure or in your own hardware, and it is very good for large enterprises.
Less appropriate: If your enterprise is small or medium business, very standard, or you can not pay a lot for perpetual licensing or hardware to deploy your ERP systems.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle eBusiness Suite is being used in our business to do exactly what the product claims: Make better decisions, reduce cost, and increase performance! We use it across our management department. It really allows us to capture specific data on management flow and inventory. It also makes planning and scheduling simpler preventing inconveniences to everyone as a whole.

Pros

  • Flexibility in capturing data
  • Track/Manage Time/Hours - ABLE TO EDIT!
  • User Friendly

Cons

  • Limited Customizations
  • Crashes frequently
  • May require extensive training for certain staffing

Likelihood to Recommend

Awesome product/software for those looking to really reduce cost and manage inventory. I've used lots of software throughout my years and the procurement features typically lack. This will really help with that which then trickles down the line so to say to then reducing cost to then increase performance and your bottom line.

What is your Wisdom, o Oracle?

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle eBusiness Suite was used as our primary customer relationship management tool, financials, human resources and order management tool. We had previously an on premises solution and have moved to Oracle eBusiness Suite on Oracle cloud, which has improved support and reliability. It is used across the whole organization, with differences between each region.

Pros

  • Excellent integration with other Oracle tools and partners
  • Incredibly powerful suite of tools that after training become second nature
  • Easy to switch from on premise to cloud

Cons

  • Advanced provisioning can be overwhelming to start with
  • You are not forced to use other Oracle products, but are pushed
  • Limited to Oracle infrastructure

Likelihood to Recommend

Oracle eBusiness Suite is still an industry leader and for large companies is incredibly suited, especially if you subscribe to other Oracle tools. It is less appropriate for non-Oracle customers or those that have smaller companies with existing CRM, HCM or other tools. Other Oracle products such as Fusion cloud continue to eat into Oracle eBusiness Suite territory.

A Powerhouse ERP

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle eBusiness Suite is used within several different silos of the organization. There are three separate implementations of the product used by different groups within the company. The software is used for many aspects including financials (AP, AR, GL), order management, fulfillment, warehouse management, shipping, inventory, etc. Each group uses different areas/modules of the application to meet its own specific needs.

Pros

  • Integrates easily across modules (i.e. order management easily flows into financials for billing purposes).
  • Integration with outside applications.

Cons

  • Methods for troubleshooting could be easier.
  • Error messages are often vague and make it difficult to pinpoint the exact problem.

Likelihood to Recommend

Oracle eBusiness Suite is very robust and can handle virtually any size organization, although it may be overkill for smaller companies. It is highly customizable so that companies can make changes to forms, reports, workflows, etc. to meet their specific needs. You get out of it what you put in. I know of companies that only use one or two modules and others that use a dozen modules. It really depends on your needs.
