Functional Setup Manager


Overview
Oracle Fusion Functional Setup Manager is an application that provides an end-to-end
guided process for managing your functional implementation projects throughout the

implementation using Getting Started.
2. Configure applications to match your business requirements using Configure
Offerings.
3. Generate setup task lists using Manage Implementation Projects.
4. Enter setup data using Assigned Implementation Tasks.
5. Export and import setup data from one Oracle Fusion Applications instance to
another using Manage Configuration Packages.
6. Maintain setup over time by searching and performing tasks from All Tasks.
