Oracle Applications was developed as a Global product.Because of this reason it does not supported by some acts like customs,central excise,vat,cst...etc which are mandatory according to Indian Laws.
All other contries are also having some contry specific requirements. To meet the above requirements Oracle developes software named patches.We can add this patches to the base product of the oracle applications.
Indian Localization is also one patch which meets the contry specific requirements.
What is India Localization Product?
India Localization is a solution built over Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle's e-business applications software product, that provides Clients in India with the most comprehensive solution to comply with the India specific tax requirements as specified by Central Excise, Customs, Sales Tax and VAT, and Income Tax, (to the extent of tax deduction at source and generation of Depreciation Schedule for fixed assets). India Localization product also provides valuable information that can be used for statutory and management reporting.
What Does India Localization Product Do?The product uses its own tax engine, for handling taxes applicable across 'Procure to Pay' and 'Order to Cash' transactions.
In India Localization, taxes are defaulted based on the pre-determined setup (Tax Defaultation). Tax amounts are calculated based on precedence such as transaction base value, tax on tax, or assessable value as specified by tax authority (Tax Calculation). The Tax Amount is considered for inventory valuation, recoverability and accounting based on the pre-determined recoverability and accounting rules (Tax Accounting and Recoverability). Details of recoverable tax amount are recorded as part of the repository (Tax Recording). This information can further be used to calculate the final tax liability arising on settlement at the end of the tax period (Tax Settlement) and for statutory reporting (Tax Reporting).

Tax Calculation and Recovery

Form personalization
Introduction to Form personalization
Form personalization is a declarative feature that alters the look and behavior of the oracle forms with out changing base code. This concept was introduced in the release 11.5.10. All E-Business suit forms can be personalized
By using form personalization you can:1. Display your own terminology.
2. Stream lines the screen interaction.
3. Implement security policies.
4. Add your own validation and error messages.
There are some limitations:
1. You can only change what oracle forms allows to be changed at run time.
2. You can only respond to limited trigger events only.
3. Your changes may be overridden by oracle base code.
To Be Continued in the next post.........

Oracle Implementation Methodalagy
SUMMARY NOTES ON AIM
Application Implementation Method is a provan approach, which specifies all the activities which are required to implement oracle applications successfully.
The scope of the AIM is enterprise wide.
There are eleven processes of implementation.
1. Business Process Architecture[BP]
This phase explains
Existing business practices
Catalog change practices
Leading practices
Future practices
2. Business Requirement Definition[RD]
This phase explains about the
Base line questionnaire and
The gathering of information.
3. Business Requirement Mapping[BR]
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

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]
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]
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]
I
n this phase we have to prepare module wise user guides and implementation manuals which helps in the implementation.
8. Business System Testing:[TE]
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.
