Early Decisions

Determine criteria for divestiture

Determine whether COA change, calendar change, asset revaluation are necessary

Determine if new legal entities or balancing segment values are necessary

Determine whether there will be a stand-alone instance for NewCo or whether it needs to be consolidated into an existing EBS instance

Determine if OldCo’s instance needs to be purged, and if so, what happens to the history.


Some of the Business Considerations Interfaces to 3rd party systems (i.e. tax, imaging)

Reports, Interfaces, Customizations, Enhancements, Workflows (RICE-W Objects) need to be changed

Intercompany, internal, and split transactions

Split of non-monetary accounts (assets, equity, bank accounts, pre-paids)

Adjusting periods, closing entries, reconciliation of balances

Interim consolidated reporting

Shared data from upstream and downstream systems, internal to Oracle EBS, employees (tax forms, benefits), costing

Security and responsibilities, validations, approvals changes

License negotiation

Service-level agreements

services needed – reports,

interfaces, non-Oracle E-

Business updates, patches,

upgrade to new release (R12).
