Oracle Retail Financial Integration (RFI)
The Oracle Retail Financial Integration (RFI) is the direct
integration solution between Oracle Retail Merchandising Suite and
enterprise financial systems. Because the concept of retail financial
integration continues to be strategic to Oracle Retail, this new
integration is designed to better match other Oracle Retail provided
integration patterns and so has the benefit of being easier to
implement and support by our customers. The Oracle Retail Financial
Integration is aligned with our overall integration strategy.
RFI 14.x and 15.x versions of the Oracle Retail Financial Integration targets
