Functional Documents

Application Implementation Method is a provan approach, which specifies all the activities which are required to implement oracle applications successfully.There are eleven processes of implementation.

1. Business Process Architecture[BP]-80

This phase explains
i.Existing business practices
ii.Catalog change practices
iii.Leading practices
iv.Future practices

2. Business Requirement Definition[RD]-20

This phase explains about the
i.Base line questionnaire and
ii.The gathering of information.


3. Business Requirement Mapping[BR]-100

In this phase we can match all the requirements of business with the standard functionality of the oracle applications.

If all the requirements match with oracle standard (with out customization) functionality then, it is called as vanilla implementation).

4. Application and Technical Architecture [TA]

Explains the infrastructure requirements to implement oracle applications.
For example:
desktops
software
hardware


people...etc

5. Build and Module Design[MD]-50

In this phase concentrate on developing the new functionality which is required by the client.
This is called customization.
In this phase explains how to design a forms, database and reports...

6. Data Conversion:[CV]-40

Is the process of converting or transferring the data from legacy system to oracle applications? This is called as data migration.
Ex: transferring the closing balances of the previous year as an opening balances to next year.

7. Documentation:[DO]
In this phase we have to prepare module wise user guides and implementation manuals which helps in the implementation.

8. Business System Testing:[TE]-40

A process of validating the setup’s and the functionality by a tester to certify its status is allied business system testing. It is done by a functional consultant.

9. Performance Testing:[PT]

Performance testing means evaluation of transaction saving time, transaction retrieval times. It is done by a technical team.

10; Adoption and Learning.[AP]

This phase explains about the removal of the legacy system of the client. The entire user should be trained with new oracle applications. In this phase we have to prepare user manuals.

11. Production Migration[PM]

A process of decommissioning of legacy system and the usage of new oracle application system begins in this phase.
