For these referenced Fusion business objects, a cross-reference is generated and must be used by the source system.Examples: Enterprise, Legal Entities, Person Type, Copyright 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

Why FCA?Copyright 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.#17Why FCA?

Map the source configuration data with Fusion configuration dataExtract the Source data as per FBL requirementsPerform the basic validation of extracted Source dataTransform the source data into Fusion acceptable valuesGenerate the extract files (in fusion shape) to be loaded via FBLNo Standard Tool is available for Non-AU source systems

Copyright 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.#18Why FCA?Without a standard tool, each of the previous steps could encounter challenges, in a manual context, because the process need to handle three most important activities in the file preparation:Validation of source data against Fusion staging data column attributesValidation of source data against Fusion XREF and lookup data Transforming the legacy values to Fusion Cross-Reference GUIDsMany manual activitiesCopyright 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.#19Why FCA?Data issues identified during FBL runs necessitate data correction at source and thereby subsequent iterations of FBL execution. Multiple occurrences of the data issues increases total duration of conversion execution in Staging environmentTime is directly proportional to CostIncreased Conversion TimeCopyright 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
