Rapid Implementation Overview

Oracle provides a configuration package with sample data for performing a rapid implementation. This package is intended for use only in a test environment to gain a quick start, enabling you to explore Oracle Fusion Cloud Sustainability and learn about its functionality hands-on.

The rapid implementation package is a collection of setup data provided by Oracle. You can readily import this package into your Fusion instance by using the Import option available in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Note: This package will work only if you've enabled the Procurement offering.
You can use the configuration package in the following scenarios:
  • You want to explore Oracle Sustainability and learn about its functionality hands-on.
  • You want to adopt a ready-to-use configuration and build on it to accommodate your requirements.
After you download and import the configuration package into your environment, data for the following setup tasks is automatically created in Oracle Sustainability:
  • Manage Sustainability Value Sets
  • Manage Sustainability Descriptive Flexfields
  • Manage Activity Types
  • Manage Global Warming Potentials
In addition, you must do the following:
  • Load emission factor mappings: Oracle provides a data sheet for uploading emission factor mappings. This data sheet contains only a small subset of the emission factors listed in the accelerator spreadsheet. Oracle recommends that you use the data sheet only for testing purposes as it only contains sample data.
  • Create sustainability ledgers: You can do this by creating ledgers directly in Oracle Sustainability.
  • Set up the profile values for the CO2e Reporting UOM and Currency Conversion Rate Type profile options.

Next, verify the setup data in your test environment. With some additional steps and modifications that meet your business needs, you can promote the rapid implementation package (excluding the emission factor mapping datasheet) to get started with production configuration.

Caution: When you create and post activities by using the preconfigured setup data, you will not be able to completely remove or modify the underlying setup data from your instance. Therefore, Oracle recommends that before you create and post activities, plan and only retain data that aligns with your implementation and delete the rest. Otherwise, prepare to refresh your test instance and perform a regular implementation as described in this playbook.
