  Enterprise Structures Configurator (ESC) in Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials 1. What Is the Enterprise Structures Configurator? The Enterprise Structures Configurator (ESC) is a guided, interview-style tool in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications that helps you model your organization’s structure. Instead of creating legal entities, business units, ledgers and divisions one by one on separate pages, ESC asks a series of business questions and then proposes a structure based on your answers. It is accessed through Setup and Maintenance , under the Define Enterprise Structures task list (the task is usually named Manage Enterprise Structures Configuration or similar, depending on the release and offering). ESC is aimed at the early stage of an implementation, when you are deciding how the company will be represented in the system. It is meant for a first-time setup . Once an enterprise structure is established and in use, further changes are normally made through the individual set...

Functional Setup Manager (FSM) in Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials 1. What Is Functional Setup Manager? Functional Setup Manager (FSM) is the guided configuration framework in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. It gives implementers and administrators a structured, task-driven way to set up and maintain applications.

In Fusion Financials, FSM is how you configure enterprise structures, ledgers, the chart of accounts, subledgers, tax, banking and reporting. It is accessed through the Setup and Maintenance work area, which is the single entry point for nearly all functional configuration. FSM does three main jobs: Guides the implementer through the setup tasks that apply to the selected offerings and features. Tracks which tasks are complete and who is responsible. Moves configuration between environments (for examp...

  General Ledger Business Process Flow in Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials Introduction The General Ledger business process flow in Oracle Fusion Cloud describes the end-to-end journey of financial data, from initial setup through transaction capture, journal processing, balance maintenance, period close, and financial reporting.

  Fusion General Ledger vs. E-Business Suite General Ledger Introduction Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) General Ledger and Oracle Fusion Cloud General Ledger both serve the same fundamental purpose: recording, maintaining, and reporting an organization’s financial data. They differ, however, in architecture, user experience, configuration approach, reporting capabilities, and the way they handle period close and integration. Anyone moving from EBS to Fusion Cloud needs to understand not just the new screens, but a different way of thinking about finance operations. EBS GL is a mature on-premise application built over decades on Oracle Forms and, later, Oracle Applications Framework (OAF). Fusion Cloud GL is a cloud-native application built on Oracle Fusion Middleware, delivered as software as a service (SaaS), with embedded analytics and quarterly updates. This comparison walks through the key differences. Architecture and Deployment EBS GL is typically deployed on-premise or ...
