Afternoons With ACEs

Oracle Fusion guidance from Oracle ACEs Lee Briggs and Thomas Simkiss. Reporting, Financials, OTBI, SmartView, governance, and testing.

[Afternoons With ACEs @AftWithACEs]

Testing should validate operational readiness—not just transaction processing.

Strong Oracle Fusion testing validates reporting, reconciliations, dashboards, approvals, and workflows.

[Afternoons With ACEs @AftWithACEs]

June is the start of the @OracleACE year, and for the 12th (and 11th) year, our resident experts @BTLeeBriggs and @ThomasSImkiss have maintained their ACEness, through publishing white papers, blog posts, and writing and recording webinars to share their #Oracle #Implementation experience.

Most Oracle Fusion reporting problems are governance problems—not dashboard problems.

Weak KPI ownership and inconsistent hierarchies create unstable analytics environments.

One of the biggest OTBI frustrations?

“Why aren’t my CoA segments showing up?”

Most issues trace back to configuration gaps.

Weak reconciliation discipline creates some of the most dangerous ERP production issues.

Reconciliation is governance.

If nobody trusts the KPIs, the dashboard is irrelevant.

KPI governance matters more than dashboard design.

#OracleFusion #KPI

[Afternoons With ACEs @AftWithACEs]

The Chart of Accounts is not just an accounting structure.

It is a reporting structure.

#OracleFusion #Financials

[Afternoons With ACEs @AftWithACEs]

One of the most expensive ERP mistakes?

Converting historical data nobody actually uses.

Only convert what the business truly needs.

Testing Oracle Fusion with admin accounts tells you almost nothing about production readiness.

Real workflows require real users and approvals.

[Afternoons With ACEs @AftWithACEs]

Dashboards do not create visibility.

Trusted data creates visibility.

If users don’t trust the KPIs, the dashboard is irrelevant.

[Afternoons With ACEs @AftWithACEs]

If Process Playback fails because the environment wasn’t tested first, that’s not a Playback problem.

That’s a governance problem.

[Afternoons With ACEs @AftWithACEs]

Most ERP failures are not technical failures.

They are governance and operational alignment failures.

[Afternoons With ACEs @AftWithACEs]

If your Oracle Fusion reporting strategy starts AFTER configuration, your implementation is already backwards.

Reports drive ERP design.

Most Oracle implementations fail for one reason—no repeatable plan.
In the latest video from #AfternoonsWithACEs we show you how to fix it.

Define success. Align stakeholders. Nail requirements. Get testing and data right.
