  • So Many APIs, So Little Time - Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Techno/Functional Review

    Apr 20, 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM (ET)

    Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications provide a wide array of APIs, enabling seamless integration and enhanced functionality for organizations. However, with so many APIs available, it can be overwhelming to determine which to use for specific business needs, understand how to work with them, and know where to find answers when Oracle's documentation is lacking in specifics. In this session, we will demystify the Oracle Fusion Cloud API landscape, explaining how to find the proper APIs and the purpose and benefits of each API type. We will discuss real-world examples of leveraging these APIs for efficient data integration, process automation, and reporting. You’ll also learn best practices for API selection, usage, troubleshooting, and optimization to support your organization’s goals.

    Learning Objectives: 

    1. Gain practical strategies for leveraging APIs to enhance data integration, automate processes, and improve reporting
    2. Learn how to locate the right APIs for specific business needs and troubleshoot when documentation falls short
    3. Understand the common patterns and unique variations in how different Oracle Fusion APIs handle messaging, data structures, and integration workflows

  • The Importance of Usage and Compliance

    Apr 21, 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM (ET)
    Whether you run your applications on-premises or in the cloud, monitoring your usage and compliance is key to containing costs and avoiding that unexpected bill. “Set it and forget it” is not the strategy you want to adopt.  In this session, we explore how companies control usage while transitioning to the cloud.
     
    Learning Objectives: 
    1. Understand how your contracts are the ultimate key to compliance.
    2. Review how companies manage on-premise compliance while transitioning to the cloud.
    3. Outline best practices for keeping control of your cloud-based applications.

  • From “Excel Exports” to Explainable Finance: Modern GL Reporting in Oracle with GL Sense

    Apr 22, 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM (ET)
    Finance teams in the Oracle ecosystem are under pressure to close faster, answer questions in real time, and provide audit-ready detail—yet many organizations still rely on manual spreadsheet exports, disconnected reports, and repeatable “copy/paste” cycles that introduce risk. At the same time, business users want the flexibility of Excel, while leaders need governance, consistency, and a clear path from summarized balances to the supporting transactions.
    In this thought-leadership session for the OATUG community, we’ll explore how modern General Ledger reporting is evolving from static statements to interactive, explainable reporting—where users can start at the financial statement level and confidently drill to account activity and supporting subledger detail without rework. Using GL Sense as the lens, we’ll discuss practical patterns for building a “single version of the truth” that still supports ad hoc analysis, flux/variance investigation, and reconciliation workflows.
    Attendees will leave with a clear framework to reduce report sprawl, shrink close-cycle bottlenecks, and enable finance to self-serve insight—without creating an IT dependency for every new question.
     
    Learning Objectives: 
    1. Identify the root causes of “spreadsheet risk” in Oracle financial reporting and close support
    2. Learn a repeatable approach to statement reporting, drill-down analysis, and reconciliation enablement
    3. Understand how to align security, governance, and audit needs with finance user agility
    4. See how teams modernize reporting during or after migration (EBS → Fusion) without losing productivity

  • HCM Payroll Best Practices

    Apr 23, 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM (ET)
    While Payroll is its own module within Human Capital Management (HCM), it relies heavily on data from other modules such as Benefits, Compensation, Absences, and Time and Labor. Payroll consolidates this information, calculates results, and distributes outputs downstream—most notably to the General Ledger. Because of these interdependencies, even small configuration gaps can lead to significant downstream impacts on pay accuracy, compliance, and financial reporting.
     
    Drawing on both client-side and implementation experience, this session highlights practical best practices that apply across organizations of all sizes and industries. Attendees will learn how to navigate key payroll integration points—especially the Calculation Card (or the newer Calculation Entries Redwood page)—to troubleshoot pay results and validate employee earnings. The session also covers how to stay ahead of Oracle payroll legislative updates to maintain compliance and system stability, as well as how to structure and maintain payroll costing so financial data flows accurately to the General Ledger.
     
    Learning Objectives: 
    1. Identify and troubleshoot payroll data integration points using Calculation Cards/Calculation Entries
    2. Maintain compliance by effectively managing Oracle payroll legislative updates
    3. Optimize payroll costing structures to ensure accurate financial reporting and General Ledger integration

  • EBS AP Automation: Validation-First/Visibility-First

    Apr 30, 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM (ET)
    One size does not fit all in Oracle EBS. Some organizations prioritize a clean ledger, while others demand immediate visibility into liabilities. This webinar explores the two primary integration strategies for EBS automation. We will demonstrate how AP automation with a flexible orchestration engine supports both 'Validation-First' and 'Visibility-First' workflows to accomplish your AP automation goals. 
     
    Two Paths to EBS Integration 
     
    The Validation-First Path: Invoices remain in the high-speed orchestration layer until 2-way or 3-way matching and all business rules are 100% satisfied. Only "Voucher-Ready" data is injected into EBS Open Payables Interface, ensuring your General Ledger reflects fully validated and matched payables. 
     
    The Visibility-First Path: Invoices are injected into the EBS Open Payables Interface immediately upon capture. Automation auto-applies "Received Holds" where Receivers aren’t immediately available, providing Finance with instant accrual visibility for all invoices while automated workflows resolve exceptions and release the holds for payment.
     
    Learning Objectives: 
    1. Learn how automated 'Received Holds' can be configured for instant accruals.
    2. Understand how flexible workflow rules match your specific audit and accounting goals.
    3. Gain insight into how advanced EBS integration maintains a 'Clean Core' with the flexibility to choose the integration that achieves your objectives.

  • AI in Action: Intelligent Document Processing for Oracle EBS

    May 18, 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM (ET)
    Manual document handling continues to slow Oracle E-Business Suite operations and tie up valuable resources. From entering purchase orders to reconciling invoices, teams spend hours on repetitive, error-prone tasks that add no strategic value.
     
    Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) - powered by AI, OCR, and RPA - is transforming these purchase order and invoice processes. By capturing, validating, and integrating document data directly into EBS, IDP eliminates manual steps, accelerates processing, and improves accuracy — all without disrupting existing systems.
     
    Join us to explore how leading organizations are using IDP to drive measurable gains in speed, accuracy, and visibility, taking their operations to the next level.

    Learning Objectives: 
    1. Understand what Intelligent Document Processing is and how it's being used to streamline workflows
    2. Hear different ways organizations are using IDP to cut time and costs
    3. Learn best practices and how to get started
