Oracle E-Business Suite modules: fit and gap explorer

Oracle documents each EBS application in its own 12.2 guide. For manufacturing the core set is Order Management, Advanced Pricing, Configurator, Purchasing, Inventory, Bills of Material, Work in Process, Cost Management, Quality, MRP or Advanced Supply Chain Planning, Shipping Execution, General Ledger, Payables, Receivables and Assets. Common additions are Warehouse Management, Mobile Supply Chain Applications, Process Manufacturing, Shop Floor Management, Project Manufacturing, Service Contracts and Field Service.

No. EBS is a suite, and each application has to be installed and licensed for its features to be available. That is why this map names the application behind each fit. Check your license before you treat a fit as available, for example Advanced Pricing compared with basic Order Management pricing, or ASCP compared with Oracle MRP.

Demantra (statistical demand planning and S&OP) and Production Scheduling have their own installation guides in the Value Chain Planning library. Oracle Transportation Management and Agile PLM are separate Oracle products that integrate with EBS. External tax engines such as Vertex Q-Series or Taxware and an EDI translator are third-party products.

Yes. Oracle Warehouse Management runs on top of Oracle Inventory and covers license plate numbers, task management, wave planning, labor management, cartonization, crossdocking, yard management and 3PL billing. Mobile Supply Chain Applications provides the RF transactions. Slotting is not documented in the guide, so mark it verify.

On the customer side: 850 and 860 inbound to Order Management, 855 and 865 acknowledgments, 856 ship notices from Shipping Execution, 810 invoices from Receivables, and 830, 862 and 866 schedules into Release Management. On the supplier side: 850, 860, 830 and 862 outbound and 856, 810, 857 and 832 inbound. You still need an EDI translator.

Discrete manufacturing uses Bills of Material, Work in Process, Flow Manufacturing and Shop Floor Management with discrete jobs and routings. Oracle Process Manufacturing uses formulas, recipes, validity rules and batches, with its own costing and quality. An inventory organization is set up as either discrete or process, and Cost Management documents transfers between the two.

Each selected requirement is weighted by priority: Must 3, Should 2, Nice to have 1. A native module scores 100 percent, an add-on from the same vendor 75, a partner product 50 and a gap 0. Items marked verify with vendor count at their stated fit but are listed separately so you can confirm them.

It follows the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 documentation library, which carries release notes through 12.2.15. Oracle ships new features to 12.2 as updates rather than a new major release. Features differ by patch level and license, so treat the map as a starting point for a demo or a review of your own instance.
