Column Definitions:
Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.
UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.
UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.
Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.
| Ready for Use by End Users Reports plus Small Scale UI or Process-Based new features will have minimal user impact after an update. Therefore, customer acceptance testing should focus on the Larger Scale UI or Process-Based* new features. |
Customer Must Take Action before Use by End Users Not disruptive as action is required to make these features ready to use. As you selectively choose to leverage, you set your test and roll out timing. |

Single UI flow, will reduce lot of operational errors and would be much quicker to define.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Key Resources
User has the ability to define different IRC formats (Rate Format, Compounding Frequency, Accrual, for different term points.
Also, along with defining term points in the traditional way with the unit, and frequency, the user has an option to define date-based term points, based on the respective bond maturity from which the rate has been derived.
User does not need to stick to a single rate format but can use a different format for different term point with a restriction of maximum of two rate formats per interest rate curve.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Key Resources
Transfer Pricing Standard Process Set Up Wizard

Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Key Resources
Pre-defined Database columns with different Data types are already provided as placeholders, which can be activated and assigned different logical names for further usage, for example, for alternate rate output mapping.
User does not need to stick to seeded column list for various rate, charge/credit calculations but cam enhance the list by registering placeholder columns for any column type Balance, rate, date, simple/key dimension.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Key Resources

Key Resources
New Feature in Allocation Rule Definition
Two distinct tab views are introduced to separately view the active set and the passive set of dimensions in source/driver/output of an allocation rule.
The separation of dimensions into shorter Active and Passive list was introduced to solve the problem of a long list of dimensions to choose from while in Edit mode. The dimensions list would be long when all the placeholder KPD’s are registered and user would need to search through the list to find the KPD he wants to apply constraint to.
Steps to Enable
