About Business Information Exchanges

Business Information Exchanges (BIEs) define the inbound and outbound business data required to support core federal financial management processes, such as entity management, accounts receivable and payable management, and general ledger accounting.

The Financial Management Quality Service Management Office (FM QSMO) maintains and periodically updates the preconfigured BIEs for core financial systems.

The following table lists the required BIEs and the Oracle Fusion applications capabilities that can be used to support each BIE:
