Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Purpose of Document 2
3. New and Changed Features in Asset Lifecycle
Management
3.1. Oracle Asset Tracking

3.1.1. Overview
Oracle Asset Tracking is an asset lifecycle management application that provides
tracking, visibility and control of dispersed assets for capital-intensive companies. Oracle
Asset Tracking maximizes asset utilization and return on investment by automatically
synchronizing the operational and physical events of assets with the financial updates in
Oracle Assets.
As part of the Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Asset Tracking offers tight integration
with other products to provide a comprehensive, reliable and efficient asset lifecycle
tracking application. This enterprise-wide integration helps achieve a single source of
truth for enterprise assets while reducing the total cost of ownership.
3.1.2. Release 12.1.1
3.1.2.1. Multiple Asset Book Support

This release supports multiple Fixed Asset (FA) Book Types in Oracle Asset Tracking.
Users are now able to create assets in appropriate FA Books depending upon the
Operating Unit or organization context. The list of FA books that may be available for an
operating unit will be automatically filtered. This will eliminate the need for intelligent
set up and users will no longer encounter issues like non-compatible chart of accounts.
Support for Multiple Asset Books is essential for global rollouts.
3.1.2.2. Graphical Display of Network Relationships

This feature enhances the usability of Asset Configuration relationships by providing
graphical representation of instance relationships, contacts, accounts, etc which are
frequently used by Oracle Asset Tracking users. Asset Tracking supports various types
of relationships by way of configuration built across instances. Prior to this release, the
configurations were displayed in the form of table, which is filtered based on relationship
types. This supports configuration with an alternate view option, which gives a graphical
representation of instance configuration. The user interface is also interactive in that you
can update the relationships such as add a child.
Organizations have complex data stored in databases or web sites, related to organization
structure, processes, and other complex relationships. It is important to support
visualization and navigation of this complex data, including organizational hierarchies,
partner and sales relationships, workflow modeling, and even web site access in order to
improve the user experience.
3.1.2.3. Google Maps Integration (Display Assets on a Map)

This feature addresses the integration with the web based source map viewer of Google
Maps. Oracle Asset Tracking instances and Oracle Enterprise Asset Management assets
can be geocoded and displayed in the map viewer based on user entered search criteria.
From the Asset Tracking responsibility, when the user selects any Asset Tracking/IB
instance icon on the map viewer, details such as Instance Number, Description, Item,
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Asset Tracking 3
Instance Location and Geocodes will be displayed in a pop up. Also, hyperlinks will be
provided for performing the following actions:
1. View instance details page
2. View Graphical Asset hierarchy.
From the Asset Tracking responsibility, when the user selects any Enterprise Asset
Management instance icon on the map viewer, details such as Instance Number,
Description, Item, Instance Location and Geocodes will be displayed in a pop up. Also,
hyperlinks will be provided for performing the following actions:
1. View instance details page
2. View open Work Requests
3. View open Work Orders
4. View Graphical Asset hierarchy
The ability to find and view Assets on a map is a key requirement for numerous Asset
Tracking and Enterprise Asset Management customers especially those in the Utilities
and Public Sector verticals. The prime advantage of the 3rd party mapping tool like
Google Maps is that users are familiar with the tool and it comes out with reasonable
amount of out-of-box features like map-based services that will help the users service
assets more efficiently.
Besides this out-of-the-box integration with Google Maps, customers will also have the
ability through customization to display assets on any web based map viewer which is
based on HTML technology (for example, Oracle Spatial MapViewer).
3.1.3. Release 12.1.2
3.1.3.1. ATG User Interface Enhancements

Release 12.1.2 includes a mandatory uptake of ATG User Interface (UI) enhancements to
Oracle Applications (OA) Framework components. These enhancements will increase
the usability and end-user productivity of the OA Framework-based applications
including Oracle Asset Tracking. Those features applicable to Oracle Asset Tracking
include:
1) Configurable Home Page: providing a new look for the E-Business Suite Home Page
with space optimization
The Home Page has been redesigned using the Configurable Pages feature of the OA
Framework. This allows the Home Page to have a very flexible layout and
configurable content. The Applications Navigator and the Worklist regions have
been modified to have more optimal usage of screen space.
2) Slide Out Menus for Navigator and Favorites: slide-out Home and Favorite
components for easy cross-application navigation
The Home and Favorites menus are now accessible as pull-down, slide-out menu
gadgets in the global header area of every OA Framework page. This allows end-
users to rapidly choose Favorites of navigate across applications from any OA
Framework page.
3) Look Ahead List of Values (LOV): type-ahead Search capabilities in the List of
Values (LOV) fields
The LOV component has been enhanced to allow type-ahead search capabilities. As
end-users type in characters into the LOV search field, the results shall be fetched
and displayed in line to the LOV component in real-time. For the majority of users,
this will eliminate the need to launch the LOV modal window, to perform a search
within the window, and to navigate through the results using Next/Previous links in
the LOV window result table, thereby saving a number of clicks and server-side
requests, and significantly enhancing end-user productivity.
4) Inline Attachments: ability to enter, view or delete text-type Attachments inline
Attachments have been enhanced to allow inline addition and viewing. The two
icons associated with the Attachments UI the plus icon and the paper-clip icon
will now have mouse-over events defined. On hover-over, an inline window shall
appear for rapid attachment entry or viewing of already added attachments. For this
release, this feature will support only text-mode attachments to be edited and added
inline.
These UI enhancements should be transparent to the Oracle Asset Tracking application,
therefore, eliminating or lowering uptake and upgrade costs.
The profiles for the ATG User Enhancements will be by default disabled. Customers
who would like to uptake these features can enable these features as required. The
profiles are as follows:
Feature Default Value at Site Configuration Options

Level
Home Page No Site level only

Navigator & Favorites Menu No Site level only
Look-ahead LOV No Site and Application levels only
Inline Attachments No Site and Application levels only
3.1.4. Release 12.1.3
3.1.4.1. ESRI Integration

This feature addresses the integration with the ESRI map viewer. Oracle Asset Tracking
instances and Oracle Enterprise Asset Management assets can be geocoded and displayed
in the map viewer based on user entered search criteria. Geographic Information System
(GIS) is an information system for storing, analyzing, managing and presenting digital
data such as geographic features present on the Earth's surface using spatial references.
ESRI is one of the leading vendors in this space.
In Release12.1.1, we introduced basic GIS capabilities into ALM products by integrating a
map viewer into the application. An out of the box integration was provided with Google
Maps, whereby Assets could be geocoded and located in a map viewer such as Google
maps. Users can view the asset information on map and perform basic actions such as
initiating work request, creating work order, etc.
Many customers use ESRI as their preferred GIS solution. This release (12.1.3) seeks to
extend the existing GIS integration capabilities of ALM to provide an out of the box
integration using ESRI map viewer. Assets can be spatially located on an ESRI map
viewer and the users can perform various actions
As with the Google Maps Integration, using the Asset Tracking Super user responsibility,
the user will be able to select any instance icon on the map viewer and see details such as
Instance Number, Item Description, Item Address, and Geocodes displayed in a pop up.
Also, hyperlinks will be provided for performing the following actions:
1. View Instance details page
2. View Open Work requests (for eAM Assets)
3. View Open Work Orders (for eAM Assets)
This project has provided the framework by which users can easily build integration with
other 3rd party GIS systems and map viewers. There is a white-paper available that will
guide users interested in integrating with 3rd party map viewers.
The ability to find and view assets on a map enabling users to service assets more
efficiently is a key requirement for numerous OAT and eAM customers especially those
in the Utilities and Public Sector verticals.
3.1.5. Release 12.1.3+
3.1.5.1. IPV Process Enhancements
During the asset procurement and capitalization process to FA through Oracle Asset
Tracking, the asset acquisition cost can have various components of Tax and Tax
Variances.
With this enhancement feature, the Asset tracking module has provided support for all
such components of asset procurement cost, while passing on the cost to capitalization
process.
The following tax related components from Invoicing have been included in the asset
cost:
- Non-Recoverable Tax
- Tax Rate Variance
- Tax Invoice Price Variance
- Tax Exchange Rate Variance
- Self-assessed tax
3.1.6. Release 12.2
3.1.6.1. Capitalization on Sales Order Shipment
This feature supports the capitalization process initiated from a Sales Order for shipment
of products. The process flow is applicable for Normal Items or Capitalize on Issue
(COI) Items- for example, for equipment leases or the rental business. It includes out of
the box support for Operating Lease business flows through standard process of Fixed
Asset creation and capitalization from Asset Tracking.
3.1.7. Release 12.2.5
3.1.7.1. Asset Retirement tieback from Fixed Assets to Asset Tracking
This new feature enables asset retirements initiated from Fixed Assets to be tied back to
Asset Tracking and updates the Fixed Asset linkage with the OAT instance. This provides
more options for asset retirement actions like Mass Retirement from Fixed Assets and
seamless data synch-up between Fixed Assets and Oracle Asset Tracking (OAT).
3.1.7.2. Self-Assessed Tax interface to Oracle Projects

This new feature provides the ability to add a self-assessed tax to the asset acquisition
cost when interfaced to Oracle Projects from Asset Tracking. This ensures the actual cost
of asset acquisition to be capitalized as a fixed asset value.
3.2. Oracle Enterprise Asset Management

3.2.1. Overview
Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) supports sophisticated, condition-based
maintenance strategies for property, plants, and public infrastructure. Oracle eAM's
single-instance design ensures best practices and quality compliance globally, eliminates
excess and obsolete spare parts inventories, promotes environmental, health and safety
policies, smoothes coordination of production and maintenance schedules, and improves
both the responsiveness and accuracy of contracted maintenance.
3.2.2. Release 12.1.1
3.2.2.1. Asset Move Workbench

This new feature, Asset Move Workbench, provides a user-friendly way of leveraging the
Asset Move feature that is currently supported in Release 12. The Workbench allows
users to transfer an asset and its child assets from one maintenance organization to
another as a single unit while preserving the parent-child asset relationships.
The following entities move along with the asset as of Release 12.0:
Activities (assuming the Activity Definition is assigned to the destination
organization. If not, you will need to use the Activity workbench to assign an
activity to the new organization.)
PM Schedules
Meters
Failure History and Setup
The following entities do not move:
Work Orders
Routing
Cost History
Collection Plans
The Asset Hierarchy may have to be manually adjusted after the move and can be done
so from the Asset Hierarchy page or the new Graphical Network Page.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Enterprise Asset Management 7
Prior to this release, the support for this process was cumbersome especially when an
asset had a complex asset hierarchy. The asset hierarchy was not respected so a user had
to perform a separate transaction for each associated child, otherwise the child asset(s)
was orphaned in the source organization. This feature will be limited to support Inter-
Org Asset Move and Sub-Inventory Asset Move with or without the child assets.
Many customers need to move assets from one organization (often a different location) to
another organization for different reasons including to replace a failed asset or to
borrow an asset for a particular job or project. This is most common in industries such as
fleet operations, asset rental environments or where organizations share assets. This
feature will enhance the transactability of assets by minimizing the dependency on the
Inventory user interface to carry out asset transfer transactions.
3.2.2.2. Miscellaneous Usability Enhancements

The following includes a number of enhancements to improve overall usability of the
system:
3.2.2.2.1. Change Dept on WO Operation
This feature provides the ability to change the Department on a Work Order
Operation prior to Work Order execution. This enhancement will provide more
flexibility for assigning resources when scheduling Work Orders.
3.2.2.2.2. Inclusion of Child Asset Work Orders in Asset Search
The inclusion of Child Asset Work Orders on the Work Order Inquiry by Asset
Simple Search screen will provide more flexibility in searching for Work Orders.
3.2.2.2.3. 'Last Reviewed Date' and 'Reviewer' Added to PM Schedule Definition
Two fields have been added to the PM schedule definition: 'Last Reviewed Date' and
'Reviewer'. These attributes will help support and execute Reliability Centered
Maintenance (RCM) programs.
3.2.2.2.4. Creation By and Created Date Added to Work Order Advanced
Search
Two fields have been added to the Work Order Advanced Search screen. This
feature provides for more flexibility in searching for Work Orders.
3.2.2.2.5. Generate Next PM Only
This feature includes a new field (check box) on the PM Schedule Definition screen:
Next Work Order Only. By checking this box, the PM Scheduler will create the
next Work Order only if the previous Work Order has been completed.
Some less critical assets may not require creation of more than one Work Order until
the last Work Order is completed.
3.2.2.2.6. Copy Asset Number to Requisition Approver Notes
This enhancement supports copying the Asset Number from the Work Order to
Purchase Requisition Note to Approver. This provides additional clarity for the
Purchase Requisition approver beyond the Work Order Number and Operation
Number which are currently available.
3.2.2.3. Express Work

This enhancement provides Enterprise Asset Management users a quick way to report
work that has been completed without any planning - often referred to as after-the-fact
reporting. Users are able to (1) report and complete an emergency work without a prior
Work Order and also (2) report labor, charge time, issue stocked items and complete the
work all from a single page.
While the aim of a Maintenance Department is to minimize reactive and emergency
work, in the real world, maintenance crews are often called upon to perform emergency
work that is due immediately. In such cases, no plan or definition of the work exists. The
crew completes the work first and only later do they report the work. Some of the most
transaction intensive process flows within the maintenance world are performing material
and labor transactions against a work order and completing the work order. Prior to this
release, users had to navigate to different pages to charge time or material and to
complete a work order.
3.2.2.4. Make Item Cross Reference Search Capability

This feature provides users with the ability to search for Inventory Items by Manufacturer
Part Number or item cross- reference from the Work Order Materials region and from
the One Step Material Issue screen under the Stores tab. Manufacturer Part Numbers
can be added to an Inventory Item via Item Master form. Inventory Items are added to an
Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) Work Order for planning or issued directly to an
eAM Work Order.
Prior to this release, users could search for items by Item Number or Item Description.
However, users often do not remember the Item Number/Item Description or will pick up
items from the shelf. Often these parts do not have an Item Number marked on them and
users struggle to find and add the right part required for the Work Order. The
Manufacturer Part Number or cross-reference is often etched on the part. This
enhancement will make it easier for the planners and the maintenance workers to add and
use the right parts for an eAM Work Order
3.2.2.5. Specify Source Supply Subinventory for eAM Work Orders

This release allows users to specify a Source Subinventory and Source Locator at the Bill
of Materials level or the Work Order Material Requirement level. If Auto Request is
set, material allocation will be initiated when the work order is released, and the Source
subinventory and Source Locator will be automatically designated by Inventory sourcing
rules. If Auto Request is not set, you can specify a Source subinventory and Source
Locator for your material when you perform a Material Request or a One-Step Material
Issue.
For some customers, with multiple subinventories, these locations can be far apart, or
even underground. The ability to specify a Source subinventory and Source Locator for
Auto-Requested material is a significant need to ensure material is allocated from a
subinventory and locator close to the work location and the pick ticket is printed in the
correct location.
3.2.2.6. Microsoft Project Integration with Work Order Scheduling

This enhancement integrates Microsoft Projects with Work Order Scheduling. The user
can search a set of work orders based on various criteria, export it in the commonly
accepted format XML, and import into MS Projects either by creating a new Microsoft
Project or by adding the selected work orders into an existing Microsoft. On exporting
the Work Order into Microsoft Project, the Maintenance Scheduler can schedule the work
orders and on satisfactory completion of scheduling, convert the Microsoft Projects into
an XML file, which can be imported back to eAM.
In maintenance environments, Microsoft Project is one of the most commonly used
scheduling tools, which provides flexibility to schedule complex project tasks with ease.
The prime advantage of the 3rd party scheduling tool is it comes out with reasonable
amount of out-of-box features like reports, printable format, etc that will help the
Maintenance Scheduler perform their work efficiently.
3.2.2.7. Graphical Display of Network Relationships

A Graphical Hierarchy is now available through Oracle eAM from the Asset screen. This
feature enhances the usability of Oracle Asset Tracking Asset Configuration relationships
by providing graphical representation of instance relationships, contacts, accounts, etc.
Oracle Asset Tracking supports various types of relationships by way of configuration
built across instances. Prior to this release, the configurations were displayed in Oracle
Asset Tracking in table form, which is filtered based on relationship types. This supports
configuration with an alternate view option, which gives a graphical representation of
instance configuration.
Organizations have complex data stored in databases or web sites, related to organization
structure, processes, and other complex relationships. It is important to support
visualization and navigation of this complex data, including organizational hierarchies,
partner and sales relationships, workflow modeling, and even web site access in order to
improve the user experience. Often in maintenance there is a need to establish an
alternate hierarchy of the organizations assets to see potential upstream and
downstream implications of an asset failure.
3.2.2.8. Google Maps Integration (Display Assets on a Map)

This feature addresses the integration with the web-based source map viewer of Google
Maps. Oracle Asset Tracking instances and Oracle Enterprise Asset Management assets
can be geocoded and displayed in the map viewer based on user entered search criteria.
From the Maintenance Super User responsibility, when the user selects any asset icon on
the map viewer, details such as Asset Number, Description, Asset Group, Owning
Department, Asset Location and Geocodes will be displayed in a pop up. Also,
hyperlinks will be provided for performing the following actions:
1. View Asset details page
2. Create Work Request
3. Create Work Order
4. View Open Work requests
5. View Open Work Orders
The ability to find and view assets on a map is a key requirement for numerous OAT and
eAM customers especially those in the Utilities and Public Sector verticals. The prime
advantage of the 3rd-party mapping tool like Google Maps is that users are familiar with
the tool and it has a reasonable amount of out-of-box features like map-based services
that will help users service assets more efficiently.
Besides this out-of-the-box integration with Google Maps, customers will also have the
ability through customization to display assets on any web-based map viewer which is
based on HTML technology (for example, Oracle Spatial MapViewer).
3.2.2.9. Work Request Attachments

Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) now has the ability to add, view, and update
attachments from Work Requests.
Prior to this release, Attachments were only available from Oracle eAM Assets and Work
Orders. A number of eAM customers requested this new feature to associate
Attachments with Work Requests. Work Requests tend to initiate the reporting of
problems and failures in a maintenance environment. As such, it is helpful to be able to
attach a photo, document, or reference a manual with that Work Request in order to better
communicate the problem.
3.2.2.10. Construction Units

This release introduces support for Construction Estimating via the introduction of the
Construction Units (often referred to as Compatible Units). Construction Units are
standardized, repetitive units of work, which involve labor, material, and equipment that
are used to plan different types of jobs, specifically in Utility Transmission and
Distribution (T&D) environments. Through this feature users can create templates to be
used for estimation and generating Work Orders, with modifications that a particular
project might require.
This group of new programs will provide a foundation for estimating work, work order
creation and asset accounting. Construction units are comprised of multiple Activities,
which define both material and labor components. The Construction Unit Search Page
will allow user to search for Construction Units, create a Construction Unit, copy a
Construction Unit and create a Construction Estimate. The Estimation Workbench will
allow the user to build an estimate by referencing multiple Construction Units,
automatically exploding the Construction Units into the component material and labor
requirements, providing multiple methods of grouping the components (by Project,
Accounting Class, and Activity) prior to the creation of Work Orders. The Construction
Estimate will provide an audit trail of source transactions and changes during the
estimating process, which then can be used as the basis for new Fixed Asset creation.
Asset Lifecycle Management customers identified this enhancement as a gap in the
Oracle eAM solution. Although this feature appeals most to Utility customers in
Transmission & Distribution, similar functionality can be used in other industries such as
Gas, Water, and/or Construction and can also be modeled to perform shutdown planning.
3.2.3. Release 12.1.2

3.2.3.1. Primavera Integration
This feature addresses the integration of Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM)
with Primavera for scheduling of eAM work orders.
The previous release, Release 12.1.1, introduced the ability to use the 3rd party scheduling
tool, MS Project, to represent and schedule eAM work orders through xml export/ import
between the applications. Large eAM customers especially in the Engineering &
Construction (E&C) and Oil & Gas verticals use Primavera extensively to schedule their
tasks/ Work Orders. This project extends the existing xml export/import capabilities of
eAM to provide an out of the box integration with Primavera.
The integration allows Work Orders, Work Order relationships (parent-child and end to
start dependencies), Operations, Resources, Departments, Employees, Competencies and
Competency Levels and Operation Dependencies to be exported in an xml format to
Primavera for scheduling. Users will be able to schedule the exported Work Orders in
Primavera using resource leveling and other optimization techniques that are native to
Primavera. The scheduled Work Orders can then be imported into eAM in an xml format,
validated and saved in the eAM system for execution.
3.2.3.2. ATG User Interface Enhancements

Release 12.1.2 includes a mandatory uptake of ATG User Interface (UI) enhancements to
Oracle Applications (OA) Framework components. These enhancements will increase
the usability and end-user productivity of the OA Framework-based applications
including Oracle eAM. Those features applicable to Oracle eAM include:
1) Configurable Home Page: providing a new look for the E-Business Suite Home Page
with space optimization
The Home Page has been redesigned using the Configurable Pages feature of the OA
Framework. This allows the Home Page to have a very flexible layout and
configurable content. The Applications Navigator and the Worklist regions have
been modified to have more optimal usage of screen space.
2) Slide Out Menus for Navigator and Favorites: slide-out Home and Favorite
components for easy cross-application navigation
The Home and Favorites menus are now accessible as pull-down, slide-out menu
gadgets in the global header area of every OA Framework page. This allows end-
users to rapidly choose Favorites of navigate across applications from any OA
Framework page.
3) Look Ahead List of Values (LOV): type-ahead Search capabilities in the List of
Values (LOV) fields
The LOV component has been enhanced to allow type-ahead search capabilities. As
end-users type in characters into the LOV search field, the results shall be fetched
and displayed in line to the LOV component in real-time. For the majority of users,
this will eliminate the need to launch the LOV modal window, to perform a search
within the window, and to navigate through the results using Next/Previous links in
the LOV window result table, thereby saving a number of clicks and server-side
requests, and significantly enhancing end-user productivity.
4) Inline Attachments: ability to enter, view or delete text-type Attachments inline
Attachments have been enhanced to allow inline addition and viewing. The two
icons associated with the Attachments UI the plus icon and the paper-clip icon
will now have mouse-over events defined. On hover-over, an inline window shall
appear for rapid attachment entry or viewing of already added attachments. For this
release, this feature will support only text-mode attachments to be edited and added
inline.
These UI enhancements should be transparent to the Oracle eAM application, therefore,
eliminating or lowering uptake and upgrade costs.
The profiles for the ATG User Enhancements will be by default disabled. Customers
who would like to uptake these features can enable these features as required. The
profiles are as follows:
Feature Default Value at Site Configuration Options

Level
Home Page No Site level only

Navigator & Favorites Menu No Site level only
Look-ahead LOV No Site and Application levels only
Inline Attachments No Site and Application levels only
3.2.3.3. Supply Chain Web Services

As part of this enhancement, web services are provided by exposing business logic
contained within Oracle forms through Java APIs. These web services are cataloged in
the Oracle Integration Repository and can be browsed though Oracle Integration
Repository Browser Interface under respective product family node. By Clicking on the
Business Entity in Integration repository, you can view full description, list of web
services for that business entity along with the description of the web service, whereas
description of parameters can be seen from the xsd definition of the service available via
the generated wsdl.
The following web services are provided for Oracle eAM:
1) Work Order: Create Work Order, Query Work Order, Update Work Order, Add
Components, Add Operations, Add Resources
2) Asset Activity Association: Create Asset Activity Association, Query Asset Activity
Association, Update Asset Activity Association
3) Asset Number: Create Asset Number, Query Asset Number, Update Asset Number

6) Bills of Materials : Create Bills of Material, Delete Bills of Material, Query Bills of
Material, Update Bills of Material, Copy Bills of Material
7) Routing : Create Routing, Delete Routing, Query Routing, Update Routing
8) Asset Group/Activity/Rebuildable Item: Create Asset Group/Activity/Rebuildable

Item, Query Asset Group/Activity/Rebuildable Item Details, Update Asset
Group/Activity/Rebuildable Item Details
3.2.4. Release 12.1.3
3.2.4.1. Encumbrance Accounting for Purchase Orders with Shop Floor

Destination
Existing eAM integration with Purchasing has been enhanced to support encumbrance
accounting for Purchase Requisitions (PRs) and Purchase Orders (POs) associated with
eAM Work Orders. Prior to this release, encumbrance accounting was limited to
Inventory destination and Expense Receiving transactions, but as a feature in this release,
it has been enabled for eAM work orders with Shop Floor destination.
eAM initiated PRs (e.g. PR created when a work order is released or PR created in
iProcurement by navigating from eAM work order) and Purchasing initiated PRs/POs
(e.g. PR/PO entry in forms/OA pages first and then associating with eAM work orders)
would have the ability to check and reserve funds. PO encumbrances are reversed after
PO lines are received into the shop floor destination.
Funds checking in advance of Requisition submission will be available from
iProcurement and Purchase Requisition Forms.
Budget account for such work orders would be derived from WIP Accounting Class on
work orders. WIP Accounting Class definition form has also been enhanced, enabling
users to enter a budget account. Associating the eAM Organization with an Operating
Unit which requires encumbrance accounting will setup this feature. Other setups are
similar to those required to enable encumbrance for Inventory destination and Expense
POs.
All public sector organizations, such as municipal, state, provincial and federal
government organizations are required to encumber or reserve funds that have been
committed to a supply purchase order. Therefore, prior to approval of any purchasing
document, the available funds must be checked and reserved against the available budget
for the specified account code combination. This enhancement is key for budgetary
control in such environments.
3.2.4.2. ESRI Integration

This feature addresses the integration with the ESRI map viewer. Oracle Asset Tracking
instances and Oracle Enterprise Asset Management assets can be geocoded and displayed
in the map viewer based on user entered search criteria. Geographic Information System
(GIS) is an information system for storing, analyzing, managing and presenting digital
data such as geographic features present on the Earth's surface using spatial references.
ESRI is one of the leading vendors in this space.
In Release12.1.1, we introduced basic GIS capabilities into ALM products by integrating a
map viewer into the application. An out of the box integration was provided with Google
Maps, whereby Assets could be geocoded and located in a map viewer such as Google
maps. Users can view the asset information on map and perform basic actions such as
initiating work request, creating work order, etc.
Many customers use ESRI as their preferred GIS solution. This release (12.1.3) seeks to
extend the existing GIS integration capabilities of ALM to provide an out of the box
integration using ESRI map viewer. Assets and Work can be spatially located on an ESRI
map viewer and the users can perform various actions on these entities.
As with the Google Maps Integration, using the Maintenance Super User responsibility,
the user will be able to select any asset icon on the map viewer and see details such as
Asset Number, Description, Asset Group, Owning Department, Asset Location and
Geocodes displayed in a pop up. Also, hyperlinks will be provided for performing the
following actions:
1. View Asset details page
2. Create Work Request
3. Create Work Order
4. View Open Work requests
5. View Open Work Orders
The ESRI integration will also provide the means to locate work on a map and perform
basic execution tasks on these work orders. On selecting a work order icon, the user will
see details of work order, operations and employee assignments in a pop up. The
following actions will be available to the user:
1. Update Work Order
2. Debrief Work Order
3. Assign Employee
This project has provided the framework by which users can easily build integration with
other 3rd party GIS systems and map viewers. There is a white-paper available that will
guide users interested in integrating eAM with 3rd party map viewers.
The ability to find and view assets on a map enabling users to service assets more
efficiently is a key requirement for numerous OAT and eAM customers especially those
in the Utilities and Public Sector verticals.
3.2.4.3. Work Permits
This release introduces a new entity: Permits. Permits are used to authorize the
maintenance work, which warrant safety precautions to safeguard people, equipment and
environment from various hazards. Permits can be created in a standalone mode and then
associated with work orders or created from the work order screens to initiate a permit
request flow. Permits are then approved based on the user configurable approval
hierarchy.
This feature allows users to define custom permit types like Hot Work, Confined Space
Entry, etc. and define workflows based on permit types, organization, etc. Users can print
the permits along with work orders to generate a complete work package.
Permits are often a statutory requirements related to safety in work place which are
hazardous in nature and are mandated by the regulatory authorities. As such, there are
often significant fines imposed when permits are not properly used in such environments.
This feature will help users reduce the administrative lead time required to create and
manage this aspect of safety management.
3.2.5. Release 12.1.3+
3.2.5.1. Change Asset Number on Work Order

This customer-driven enhancement provides the ability to change the Asset Number on a
Work Order. The change will only be allowed for manual or reactive Work Orders (non-
PM Work Orders) in an Unreleased or Draft status that do not have any transaction costs
incurred. Prior to this release, the Asset Number field was read only as soon as the Work
Order information had been saved. If the Work Order has an Activity and the new Asset
doesn't have the same activity associated with it, the existing activity will be removed, but
the BOM and Routing will be retained.
(MOS ID: 158225.1 / Patch 8374077:R12.EAM.B)
3.2.5.2. Delete Unused Allocation and Material Requirement at Material Return

This customer-driven enhancement provides the ability to delete open material allocation
and requirements from Work Order while returning material to inventory. Using the
Maintenance Super User responsibility, users will be able to delete unused allocations and
unfulfilled demand while performing material return through "Delete Allocation &
Material Allocation" check-box added on the Material Return to Inventory page. Prior to
this patch, the users had to follow multiple steps to perform these actions as there was no
provision to delete open material allocation and requirement from work order while
performing return material to inventory.
3.2.5.3. Component Pick Release Concurrent Program for Work Order Material
Allocation
This customer-driven enhancement provides the ability to perform material allocation for a
group of Work Orders with open material requirements, using the new concurrent program
'EAM Work orders Component Pick Release'. The concurrent request will select material
requirements from work orders that meet the following criteria:
Work order is in status 'Released' (includes user-defined Released status also)

Enable Material Issue Requests is set to 'Yes' for the work order
There is Open Quantity on the Work Order line (Required quantity > Issued
+ Allocated Quantity)
Work orders lines have Auto Request Material set to Yes (Excludes the
Auto Request Material No lines)
(MOS ID: 1457852.1 / Patch: 13608137:R12.EAM.B)
3.2.5.4. Default Actual Completion Date on Work Order:

This customer-driven enhancement adds the provision (new profile EAM: Actual Work
Completion Date Preference) to default actual completion date of Work Order to system
date during Work Order completion process. The current behavior is such that when
completing a Work Order that has planned dates in the past, the system defaults the actual
completion date to the planned date. By default, the new profile will be set with value
Scheduled Completion Date and behave as described above as current behavior. If the
users want the Work Order completion date to be defaulted to system date, then they will
be required to set this profile value as System Date.
3.2.5.5. Avoid Work Order Sequence Numbers Jumping Caused by Budget

Forecast Run
This customer-driven enhancement provides new sequence number logic for Budget
forecasting results (EAM_BFWO_JOB_NUMBER_S). The new sequence with the
prefix set to 'BFWO' (abbreviated for 'Budget Forecast Work Order') will be used for the
work order numbers that are generated as a result of forecast run. As per this change,
the regular work orders will not share the WIP sequence numbers with budget forecast
results. This will ensure continuous sequence of regular work order numbers, even while
using the budget forecasting feature. Prior to this change, the Work Order generated by
the Budget Forecasting feature, and the regular work orders (manual and PM Work
Orders) used the same WIP sequence for Work Order numbering. This resulted in what
appears as jumping of a large quantity of sequence numbers for regular work orders.
3.2.5.6. Usability Enhancements in PM Schedule Definition and Search

This customer-driven enhancement improves the usability of the PM Schedule Definition
screen and search capabilities. The field name Generate Next WO was changed to
Next WO Only on the PM Schedule Definition form, the PM Schedule Search window,
and the PM Schedule Template. The Next WO Only search field is made as non-
mandatory with the default search criteria set to Null. Prior to this change, the search
option was either Yes or No, thus restricting the PM schedules to be queried. The
Default check-box at the PM Schedule Definition is now selected by default.
3.2.5.7. Maintenance Work Order Detail Report with Summary Information

This customer-driven enhancement provides a new report template, Maintenance Work
Order Report with Summary. When selected for printing multiple Work Orders, this
template will provide a summary table with key information from the selected Work
Orders. This improves the usability and readability of the Work Order Detail Report.
3.2.5.8. (MOS ID: 1502710.1 / Patch: 14634346:R12.EAM.B)Enhancement to Mass
Complete Functionality in Maintenance Workbench
This customer-driven enhancement provides a provision to complete Work Orders with
Scheduled Dates in the future with a Completion Date equal to the System Date through
the Mass Complete option from the Maintenance Workbench. A new profile option,
EAM: Mass Complete work orders at system date has been introduced to set the
preferred dates for Work Orders. The profile will have the following 4 values available:
1. No: this will be the default value of the profile. The Mass Complete process will
operate as it did prior to the introduction of this enhancement.
2. Yes - for future date work orders: During the Mass Complete process, the WO
dates will be defaulted to System Date only for WOs with Scheduled Dates in the
future.
3. Yes for past date work orders: During the Mass Complete process, the WO
dates will be defaulted to System Date only for WOs with Scheduled Dates in the
past.
4. Yes for all work orders: During the Mass Complete process, the WO dates will
be defaulted to System Date for all WOs (with both past and future dates).
(MOS ID: 1503028.1 / Patch: 14016180:R12.EAM.B).
3.2.5.9. ERES Support for Debrief work order

This customer-driven enhancement enables E-Record and E-Signature process for Work
Orders that are completed in debrief mode. Prior to this, the E-Record and E-Sign process
was initiated only from the Work Order Completion page in Maintenance Super User
responsibility. The ERES process during Work Order debrief works as follows:
E-Record and E-Sign flow is same as in Complete Work Order page

ERES flow is triggered if the work order status is updated as Complete or
Complete-No-Charges in Debrief page
If E-Record is rejected or E-Sign fails, the following actions are applied for the work
order details :
o Work Order status will be retained as before the completion status
o Updates to the work order including transactions like material issue, resource
transactions will be saved to the system - even if the E-Sign is failed/rejected
o Work order completion information entered in debrief page (Meter Reading,
Quality results, Failure Information and other completion information) will be
reverted back
If E-Sign is successful, work order completion will be successful along with all
transactions updated to the work order.
3.2.5.10. Ability to copy material lines of work order

This customer-driven enhancement provides 'Copy' feature for material requirement lines
during Work Order Creation or update. Prior to this enhancement, there was no provision
to Copy the material line or descriptive flexfields in Create/Update Work order HTML
pages. With this release, a new icon for 'Copy' is added to the Material Requirements line
similar to the existing icons for 'Delete' and 'Flexfields'. When the existing material lines
are copied to new lines using this feature, they result in the following actions:
All the details such as Operation, Item Type, Line Type, Item Code, Quantity and
Date Required are copied from the original line to the new line.
Flex-field values are also copied to the new line.
Material details in the show/hide region like Auto Request Material flag, Sub-
inventory, Locator and Comments are also copied to the new line.
3.2.5.11. Primavera 8.2 Certification

This customer driven enhancement certifies the Oracle eAM integration with Primavera
8.2. This integration was initially introduced in 12.1.2.
3.2.5.12. Provide WO Hyperlink in WO Details Relationships Tab

This customer driven enhancement provides a hyperlink to navigate and view related
Work Orders details under the Work Relationships tab. The user can return back to the
Relationships view using a hyperlink, as well. These hyperlinks save the user time by
reducing the number of clicks to access relevant information.
3.2.5.13. Provide Work Request Hyperlink in WO Details Requests Tab

This customer driven enhancement provides a hyperlink to navigate and view Work
Requests details that are associated with the Work Order - from the Work Order page.
The user can return to the Work Order details page using a hyperlink, as well. These
hyperlinks save the user time by reducing the number of clicks to access relevant
information.
3.2.5.14. Enable Work Request Details Access From Approval Notification

This customer driven enhancement enables access of Work Request Details including
DFF, Work Request Priority, and Request Details - to the department approver during the
approval cycle of the Work Request. By streamlining the workflow process and
providing more information, more easily the user is more efficient.
3.2.5.15. Validate Open PO Requirements During WO Update to Complete-No-

Charge Status
This customer driven enhancement checks for open Purchasing requirements for eAM
Work Orders when changing the Work Order status to Complete-No-Charges (or any
user-defined synonym statuses for Complete-No-Charges). The system will alert the
user if any requirements are identified. This is similar to how the system currently
handles changing a Work Order to a Closed status. This is not applicable to changing
the Work Order to a Complete status.
3.2.5.16. Provide On-hand and Available Quantity Details in One-step Material

Issue
This customer driven enhancement provides a view of the Available Qty and On Hand Qty
for sub-inventories in the user-selected unit of measure. Prior to this enhancement, the
user would have to go to Inventory to check these availability details. This is also
applicable to the Work Order Debrief page. It is critical to know what is available and
what is on hand prior to issuing material.
3.2.5.17. Support for Multiple UOMs for One Step Material Issue to WOs
This customer driven enhancement provides support for multiple unit of measures
(UOM) for One-Step Material Issue to Work Orders process. The UOM field is an
editable field and the user can now issue parts in any unit of measure. Prior to and after
the material transaction, the quantities are shown in the primary UOM. This is also
applicable to the Work Order Debrief page.
3.2.5.18. OTL-EAM Integration for Time Entries in Closed Accounting Period

This customer driven enhancement provides support for OTL time-card entries, reported
in Closed Inventory Accounting Periods. For OTL dates, falling in a closed inventory
accounting period, the OTL to eAM interface program will pass the transaction date as
the first date of the next open inventory accounting period. It will also show the OTL
reported date and new date in the log file of the concurrent process Retrieve Timecard
Data from OTL to EAM for audit purposes and tracking. This is the same logic as used
in the OTL to Projects accounting integration.
3.2.5.19. Provide Asset Search Features to Self-Service Work Request User

This customer driven enhancement enables support for asset search features for the
responsibility Self-Service Work Request User. The Assets tab was added to the
Self-Service Work Request User responsibility to allow asset search. Users can also
now view the Asset Hierarchy and allow create/view Work Request by selected Asset.
3.2.5.20. Contingent Worker Support

This customer driven enhancement supports adding contingent workers as resources in
eAM pages including Work Order, Safety Clearances, and for Time-Entry. A contingent
worker can now be added in HR as a person Type and, subsequently, added as a
resource in an eAM department on a bill of materials. Contingent workers work for
companies on a non-permanent basis and can include consultants or outside contractors.
This is a very common practice in maintenance.
3.2.5.21. Asset Hierarchy Page Improvement for Asset Node Selection

This customer driven enhancement improves the usability of the Asset Hierarchy page
drill down by keeping focus on the asset selection node when there are multiple levels of
the assets. The page refresh issue with the tree node selection has been resolved to make
it easier for working with asset configurations.
(Patch 17429343: R12.EAM.B)
3.2.5.22. Allow Duplicate Activities in Construction Estimate Creation

This customer driven enhancement allows the same Activity to be added to the
same Construction Estimate (CE) multiple times. This provides customers with
the flexibility of using the same CE as a template but tweaking aspects of it such
as Difficulty Code to address specific requirements of the project. The system
will automatically generate the operation sequence numbers.
(Patch 18748355:R12.EAM.B)
3.2.5.23. View Cost Estimate and Descriptive Flex Field in Construction Estimate
Search Results
This customer driven enhancement added a new column Cost Estimate in the
Construction Estimate (CE) search result and added CE Descriptive Flex Field
(DFF) columns in the View Object of the search result page. Users can
personalize to add their relevant DFF columns to the page. When comparing
various CEs, viewing the Cost Estimate is key. Viewing the additional CE DFFs
is also important as different customers want to be able to track and compare
different attributes associated with the CE.
(Patch 18748355:R12.EAM.B)
3.2.5.24. Work Order Operations and Material Descriptive Flex Field Support in
Construction Estimate
This customer driven enhancement added a Descriptive Flex Field (DFF) icon to
the Work Order Operations on the Construction Estimate (CE) page, provided the
ability to create/update/view operations/materials DFF on the CE page, and
allows the Maintenance BOM/Maintenance Routing DFF to be copied to the CE.
By improving the creation of the CE, these changes improve the usability of the
CE capability.
(Patch 18748355:R12.EAM.B)
3.2.5.25. Choosing Work Order Department in Construction Estimate

This customer driven enhancement added the Owning Department field to the
Construction Estimate (CE) page. The Work Order Department is sourced from
manually entered value, then the Asset owning department, and finally the eAM
Parameters. From an overall responsibility, customers want to know who the
Owning Department is for the Work Orders included in a CE.
(Patch 18748355:R12.EAM.B)
3.2.5.26. Maintain Order of Activities in Construction Estimate

This customer driven enhancement maintains the order of the Activities entered
manually on the Construction Estimates page or via Construction Units. The user
decides the sequence as part of the planning and this enhancement will maintain
that sequence of Activities.
(Patch 18748355:R12.EAM.B)
3.2.5.27. Add Resources and Items to Existing Operations in Construction Estimate

This customer driven enhancement provides the ability to add new
resources/materials to existing operations in a Construction Estimate (CE) page.
When adding new resource/material, the system will default the operation
description, department, etc. which is consistent with the behavior on the Work
Order screen. Both the ease of use and consistency with other pages, help with
overall usability.
(Patch 18748355:R12.EAM.B)
3.2.6. Release 12.2
3.2.6.1. Work Clearances
Oracle eAMs support for Safety continues to be enhanced with the introduction of Work
Clearances. Work Clearances provide a control document to help ensure the shutdown
and start up of isolated equipment. Work Clearances are designed for use by both
operations and maintenance. A Work Clearance can be initiated by operations or
maintenance and then associated with one or many work orders or work permits. For
additional control, users can apply an user defined approval cycle to the work clearance
using AME. Work clearances can be associated with an individual piece of equipment or
an area. Users can easily create new clearances or copy an existing clearance. There are
also configurable reports for Safety Management.
As with many safety related features that enforce regulations, it is difficult to measure the
value of preventing an injury or saving a life. But features such as Work Clearances help
save the users administrative lead time required to create and manage this aspect of safety
management.
3.2.6.2. PM Work Order Prefix

A new Oracle eAM parameter has been introduced to define a prefix, PM Work Order
Prefix, for Preventive Maintenance (PM) Work Orders. This parameter will help users
visually differentiate PM Work Orders from manually created, reactive work orders. It
will also be useful in querying, sorting, and reporting on different types of work.
3.2.6.3. New Planner Field and Work Order Defaults

This customer driven enhancement includes the addition of a new Planner field to Work
Orders and support for adding default values for the following Work Order fields: Work
Order Type, Firm, Planned, Notification Required, and Planner. Planner is
based on an user lookup value and provides easier reporting based on maintenance
planner data. Default values increase the usability of the system by increasing the user
efficiency in creating new records.
3.2.7. Release 12.2.4
3.2.7.1. Linear Asset Management
This release enhances Oracle eAMs support for Linear Asset Management to address
requirements in industries such as Oil & Gas (pipelines), Utilities (transmission and
distribution lines), and Public Sector (roadways, rails). Significant changes have been
made in Asset Definition, Work Definition / Execution, and Spatial Integration to support
linear assets maintenance. Although these changes were made with linear assets in mind,
many of the new features may be applied to discrete assets, as well.
When creating a linear asset in eAM, a user can attach a Linear Reference Method,
optionally define a Linear Asset Segment, and map the asset / segment to the GIS route or
geometry. Linear asset attributes from GIS domain such as Properties and Elements can be
defined and associated to the assets so that they can be used as reference details while
planning and executing maintenance work on them.
Using user-defined Relationships, linear assets can be related to other linear assets and
discrete assets. Relationships can be used for modeling asset networks and for tracking the
asset configuration changes. Asset cost roll-up has been enhanced to provide the visibility
of all related assets for a chosen relationship type such as network.
A new page, Linear Asset Workbench, has been provided to allow users to set up and
view the linear assets with all these new entities such as Linear Reference Method,
Segments, Elements, Properties and Relationships.
A map workbench has been provided for visualization of linear assets and work orders on
map. Following are some of the map actions that will help users for locating assets and
work orders on map and initiate actions on them:
Locating assets in a circle or polygon area of map

Locate assets and work orders using reference points
Dynamic segmentation of asset from map
Locate assets by measure values
Perform asset, work order search on map
During Work Order creation and execution for linear assets, the user will be able to
capture linear measure values in self-service and from dynamic asset segmentation done in
the map workbench. Support has also been provided for multiple asset work orders by
enhancing the asset route feature. Work Order completion has been enhanced to support
capturing of actual span of work carried out on linear assets.
For GIS Integration for linear assets, this release supports ESRI and Oracle Spatial
systems. This enables multiple GIS integration options including:
ESRI
Google Maps / elocation with Oracle Spatial
Custom GIS with Oracle Spatial
Rest API and Business Events are provided that can be leveraged by customers for GIS
and EAM systems data integration.
3.2.7.2. Asset Route and Costing Enhancements

This release brings in a number of eAM functionality improvements around Asset Route
and Asset & Work Order Costing. These features are applicable for discrete assets, as
well as linear assets.
Asset route definition has been enhanced with the following features:
Flexibility in Asset Cost distribution for asset route
Sequence Numbering of member assets
Setup controls for asset route update at work order level
With the objective of supporting multiple asset work orders the following
enhancements have been added to asset route work order:
Ability to create dynamic Work Order Route
Flexibility in Asset Cost distribution at work order level
Enhanced Quality Results capture for Route Assets
Following are the Costing enhancements that have been carried out:
Update Work Order Asset Number after WO Release / Transactions
Asset Cost drill-down to include Route Work Orders
Asset Cost Roll-up based on Relationships
3.2.7.3. User Experience
As part of our continued efforts to improve the user experience in Oracle eAM, two
types of enhancements are being addressed in this release: (1) non-intrusive changes to
the pages to insure consistency in labels and column position and (2) making specific
Forms based functions available in Oracle Applications Framework (OAF).
On the Work Order pages, naming/spelling updates to field labels and columns were
implemented. Label changes were made to Operations and Materials tabs/regions for
consistency. On applicable pages, Employee was relabeled Person to reflect the
introduction of Contingent Worker made in an earlier release.
The Generate PM Work Orders concurrent function will be available as a sub-tab off
the Work Orders tab in OAF. A new Reports tab is now available from the
Maintenance Super User responsibility enabling the submission of all eAM Reports
including the Material Issue Pick List Report from OAF.

Assets, Rebuildable Assets and Asset Routes. Linear Assets can also be identified in this
creation process.
As with Forms based Asset Definition, templates associated with the selected Asset
Group can automate the assignment of maintenance Activities, Meters and Preventive
Maintenance Schedules.
Asset members on the Asset Route can be defined from the Manage Asset Route
function, delivered in R12.2.4.
Once an Asset, Rebuildable or Asset Route is defined, edits can be performed using the
respective Forms based functions.
3.2.9. Terminology
Term Definition
Asset Move Asset Move is one form of sub-inventory transfer of an item.

It is a process of moving or transferring between sub-
inventory locations or moving between organizations without
violating the rules setup at the organization level. Asset Move
can be performed with or without its asset hierarchy.
Term Definition
Elements Elements are typically reference points in a linear asset

network that are used as markers / landmarks for identifying
asset location or work location.
The elements can be of both linear or point type. Elements

can be defined as Labeled, so that each of the element can
have a name attached to them.
Example : Mile Markers, Inspection Points (Point Type) ,

Fencing (Linear Type)
Emergency or Express Within a maintenance organization, work is usually defined
Work before it is released to the technicians for execution. The term
emergency work order in this document refers to a
maintenance job that is never defined in the system and was
in response to some kind of an emergency situation. Work is
often directly executed in such scenarios and later just
reported into the system.
Geocode A Geocode (Geospatial Entity Object code) is a representation
format of a geospatial coordinate measurement used to
provide a standard representation of an exact geospatial point
location on the earth. For example, the format
(4154'12"N, 8737'35"W) indicates latitude, longitude of a
unique location on earth.
Isolation Disconnecting or making safe the device is known as
isolation. This is accompanied by the tagging of the device to
let others know not to de-isolate the device. The purpose of
the establishment of isolation is to secure an asset or an area
to provide a safe working environment. The isolation
definition contains two parts, first the establishment
instructions and then the release instructions, the release
instructions are not necessarily the reverse of the
establishment instructions.
Latitude Latitude gives the location of a place on earth north or south
of the equator. Lines of Latitude are the horizontal lines
shown running east-to-west on maps. Latitude is given as an
angular measurement ranging from 0 at Equator to +90 at
North Pole and -90 at South Pole.
An example of a latitude in DMS (Degrees Minutes Seconds)
format is 4154'12"N
Linear Assets Linear Assets in eAM can be either Capital or Rebuildable
assets. The linear asset will have start and end measure value
and a geometric profile associated to it from the GIS system.
Linear Reference Method Linear Reference Method is used representing linear assets in
terms of their measure unit, references for different axes and
their off-set measure units.
Lockout The placement of a lockout device on an energy-isolating
device, in accordance with an established procedure, ensuring
that the energy isolating device and the equipment being
controlled cannot be operated until the lockout device is
removed.
Term Definition
Longitude Longitude is the east-west geographic coordinate

measurement. Longitude is given as an angular measurement
ranging from 0 at the prime meridian to +180 eastward and
180 westward.
An example of a longitude in DMS (Degrees Minutes
Seconds) format is 8737'35"W
Properties Properties for linear assets are used to pre-define the asset
attributes and to store their values with reference to the
measure values of occurrence.
The properties of a linear asset can be captured for a length or

at a point.
Example : Diameter of Pipe 1 Meter, Flow Rate of pipeline

100 gallon / Hr.,
Relationships Relationships allow users to create different relationship types
that can be used to relate assets. Linear assets can be related to
other linear assets or discrete assets using the Relationship
types.
Relationships also can be created as both of type Linear or

Point.
Example : Intersection (Point Type) , Parallel (Linear Type)

Sub-Inventory Transfer Sub-Inventory Transfer is one type of transfer of an asset. It is
a process of moving or transferring between sub-inventory
locations without violating the rules setup at the organization
level. Asset Move can be performed with or without its asset
hierarchy. (e.g.: from Stores to Spares)
Tagout The placement of a tagout device on an energy isolating
device, in accordance with an established procedure, to
indicate that the energy isolating device and the equipment
being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is
removed.
Work Clearance A work clearance defines an isolation of an asset or an area
for a defined amount of time. A work clearance can be based
on a pre-defined isolation.
Work Permit Enables a certain type of work on the isolated equipment,
examples of permits include hot work, confined space entry,
hazardous material handling etc.
3.3. Oracle Installed Base

3.3.1. Overview
Oracle Installed Base is an Item Instance life cycle tracking application and it enables product
life cycle management at the micro level. It facilitates instance tracking across different
applications and their transactions. Oracle Installed Base provides User Interfaces to easily
view instance ownership, location, change history, transaction history from a single application.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document Oracle Installed Base 27
Oracle Installed Base uses Counters to help track usage of a product or track equipment
operational details like run hours which can be used for various purposes like Billing or
Maintenance planning.
Oracle Installed Base is a foundation product for Oracle Asset Tracking and Enterprise Asset
Management.
3.3.2. Release 12.2.4
3.3.2.1. Option to track only Customer-owned products using Oracle Installed Base
Even though Install base tracks all transactions performed on an IB tracked item, for
some organizations it is suffice to track only customer owned item instances. To support
such customer requirement, an additional option has been provided for Install Base
tracking in this release. With this option, such customers can avoid the present default
behavior that tracks both enterprise and customer instances.
These business users can leverage this new option in Install Parameters to track "Only
Customer Owned Instances" and still be able to perform after-sales transactions such as
RMA, Field Service Return on the IB instances.
By enabling this Option the IB Tracking restricts itself from creating any internal instances
and the lifecycle of the IB tracked item starts only on Order Fulfillment to external customer.
Note: Since eAM and Asset Tracking products track internally owned assets for asset
lifecycle tracking, this new option should not be adopted by customers who are using these
products.
3.3.3. Release 12.2.5
3.3.3.1. Customer Install Base Enhancements
The customer Install Base functionality which lets organizations to track only
customer/party related transactions on products - was introduced in Release 12.2.4.
Extending that option as a setup at the Item level is added as part of Release 12.2.5. With
this enhancement, you would be able to specify the preference for Install Base tracking at
the master item level. This provides more flexibility to use this feature based on an
individual items tracking needs.
3.3.3.2. Install Base Transaction processing enhancements
Install Base Transaction processing mechanism is moved away from the Service
Fulfillment Manager (SFM) queue to Install base interface based processing.
This enhancement improves the efficiency of transactions interfacing to IB, as it avoids

the dependency with other product like SFM.
3.3.3.3. Serial Tagging at Sales Order Pick support
Inventory serial tagging functionality is being extended to the Sales Order Pick
transaction in Release 12.2.5. This is applicable for non-Serial controlled Items and
Serial control at Sales Order Shipment items. Install base changes have been incorporated
to support this feature for IB tracked items as well.
