MD 50 and MD 70 Documents - Oracle

application development
Documentation plays a very  important role in oracle apps implementation
projects.Oracle as part of the AIM   Methodology has provided certain jargon's for
various kinds of documents at different stages of the project.So here is a blog post
detailing the same:

BR Documents: Business Requirement Documents,Which is mostly done by the

Functional persons of the implementation Team Like Functional Project
Leads/Managers.These documents are the set up Documents,which is 100% based
on the BR120-Business Requirement Gatherings as provided by the business.
You can say these are as is process.So BR 100 is the To Be Process after you
gather all sorts of info from the Biz and map in the Oracle Systems.

MD Documents:-Modular Designing Documents,which are is mostly done by the

Technical persons of the Implementation Team like Technical Project
Leads/Project Manager. These document are the Design Documents,which is again
based on the BR120-Business Requirement Gathering as provided by the business.
     These MD's are of basically discussed on any customization needs or any
special behavior oracle System should work which is not the standard Oracle
Functionality.These also discuss about the tables and the interface tables or forms
which are going  to be used in the particular modules.It also discusses about the
High Level Designs Like Flows of the Business and all.
These MD's are basically made after you all Functional Design and if there is no
work around Oracle System provides for a particular Test Scenario and there is no
other way other than to go for the Customization. 

Now you can understand the basic difference b/w these two.
