Web 2 Features have ben embedded with the applications - RSS feeds,
social network, tags are possible. Embedded learning - Tutorial, Video and
Help. User activity driven by watch list (also known as work list)
Needless to say best of breed feature from PeopleSoft, JDE, EBS, Seibel,
and Hyperion have been incorporated in Fusion Applications.
Time Zone - In EBS effective date is defaults to system date based on the
server time zone. In fusion effective date defaults to system date based
on the preferred time zone of the user.
User can enter journals in spreadsheet with multiple currencies. This will
eliminate the restriction of entering journals in single currency.
Not all R12 functionalities available like manufacturing, call center etc.
Data Access set for second and third balancing segments are not
supported. Only full ledger, primary and management segments are
supported.
Journals that are imported and ends with error can't be corrected through
journal import correction pages. Need to re-import or to be corrected in
interface table through sql.

Key Points
Conclusion:
Fusion Application is different from EBS. There is no plan from Oracle to come
up with R13 version. Next version of Oracle apps is Fusion Application which
is new generation ERP as Oracle purchased lots of different companies like
PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Siebel etc in last few years and Fusion applications is
an effort to integrate all different technology into one single product. Initially
Fusion Application is going to be major technology changed ERP and for
organization there will be great learning to adopt and incorporate these new
technology changes for better management reporting and planning.
New technology changes are going to provide more flexibility and easy
reporting for an organization. Oracle Fusion Applications are service-enabled,
enterprise applications that can be easily integrated into a service-oriented
architecture (SOA) and now available as software.
