Prerequisites and Assumptions

Oracle Joint Venture Management is a functional area of Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials. As such, you must be using Oracle Financials to manage the financial accounts for your joint venture transactions before implementing Joint Venture Management.

Each user of Joint Venture Management might require an additional subscription to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP.

Note: If you use an accounting solution other than Oracle Financials, you can use Oracle Accounting Hub to import your joint venture transactions into Oracle Financials.
