Overview of Common Implementation

Common implementation involves performing setup tasks that are common and available within multiple offerings. The Application Extensions and other functional areas comprise these common setup and implementation tasks.

Application Extensions

Use the Application Extensions functional area to configure common business objects. For example, you can do these tasks:

• Configure workflow tasks, for example to determine how and to whom approvals are routed.

• Review and manage objects, for example currencies and reference data sets shared across applications.

• Configure common reference objects, such as flexfields, document sequences, and profile options that affect the functionality and look of Oracle Applications Cloud.

Other Functional Areas

Other functional areas contain several tasks to manage common functions that apply to the entire implementation. Examples of such functional areas include Legal Structures, Users and Security, and Enterprise Profile. Here are a few examples of tasks you can do using these functional areas:

• Set up security, enterprise structures, geographies, and business units.

• Create and maintain user accounts and synchronize the list of users and roles stored in Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

Create Implementation Users

You must have at least one implementation user. To ensure segregation of critical duties, multiple implementation users are recommended. For example, one implementation user typically performs functional setup tasks and another performs security setup tasks. When you create implementation users, you also assign predefined job roles to them directly. The job roles vary with the tasks that the implementation users perform.

The cloud service administrator creates implementation users.

Enable Features to Access Common Setup Tasks

To access a variety of common setup tasks, you need to enable these features in the Offerings work area.

Note:

Apart from the features listed below, you might also need to enable other features to use other common tasks within Application Extensions and in other functional areas.

• Maintain Common Reference Objects: You can enable this feature to implement common functionality, such as reference data sets, language, or general preferences. After enabling this feature, you can use tasks available in the Application Extensions functional area to manage common reference objects defined centrally and shared across applications.

  Here's a list of tasks you can use after enabling this feature:

  • Manage Taxonomy Hierarchy

  • Manage Reference Data Sets

  • Manage Set Assignments for Set Determinant Type

  • Manage Reference Data Set Data Access for Users

  • Manage Currencies

  • Manage ISO Languages

  • Manage Territories

  • Manage Languages

  • Manage Industries

  • Manage Natural Languages

  • Manage Time Zones

  • Manage Data Security Policies

  • Set User General Preferences

  • Manage Audit Policies

  • Manage Applications Core Messages

  • Manage Applications Core Standard Lookups

  • Manage Applications Core Profile Options

  • Manage Applications Core Administrator Profile Values

  • Manage Applications Core Profile Categories

  • Manage Applications Core Value Sets

  • Manage Applications Core Descriptive Flexfields

  • Manage Applications Core Attachment Entities

  • Manage Applications Core Attachment Categories

  • Manage Applications Core Global Search Configurations

  • Manage Applications Core Global Search Suggestion Groups

  • Migrate Enterprise Roles and Assignments to PaaS Identity Store

  • Manage Configuration Set Migration Target Security Policy

  • Manage User Identity Synchronization to PaaS Identity Store

  • Manage Read-Only Schema Column Masking for Users

  • Configure Guided Learning

• Application Toolkit Component Maintenance: You can enable this feature to implement the Reports and Analytics panel tab and the Watchlist.

  Here's a list of tasks available in the Application Extensions functional area after you enable the Application Toolkit Component Maintenance feature:

  • Map Reports to Work Areas

  • Set Watchlist Options

  • Manage Application Toolkit Administrator Profile Values
