Oracle ADF Desktop Integration (ADFdi)

Consider using Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) Desktop Integration (ADFdi) if you need to import and manage manufacturing data in Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing.

Key Features

• Enables desktop integration with Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to manage large-volume data downloads and uploads to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications.
• Provides the ability to:
  • Search for valid values.
  • Perform validation during data entry.
  • Immediately submit transactions directly from Microsoft Excel.
• Can be used for inbound integration of data into Oracle Manufacturing.

Best Practices

• Mass creation or updating of manufacturing setup data, such as standard operations and work definitions, in Oracle Manufacturing.
• Manage operation, material, and resource transactions that fail to be imported into Oracle Manufacturing.

Constraints

• This option isn't suitable for importing manufacturing data on a real-time basis.
• Use is limited to 2,000 rows per upload or download.
• This option can't be used to upload attachments for manufacturing entities.
• It can't be used to trigger Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures (ERES) events related to manufacturing.
