Oracle: Key Business     Flows
Every business has some Processes, every process has some Flows to meet some requirement or an outcome. These processes and flows can be divided to departmental level. Every department in an organization has some Process Flows and upon execution of these flows the department meets some desired outcome.

Number of departments involved in a process depends on the nature of the process and its flow. Keeping in mind the process and its flow an automated application is designed, developed and implemented to help the department(s) fasten up the flow and efficiently execute it. If the application caters a whole process then it can be called as an ERP application.

These departments and processes can categorize in to two stages:

1. Front Office 2. Back Office

Oracle Application or E-Business Suite is one of these automated application which cater different processes with the help of different applications of module.
We can also call a “process” as a “cycle”. Oracle Applications caters different business cycles with different applications or, in terms of ERP, different modules.
Here is a list of how a standard business process catered by Oracle E-Business Suite, and each process has different Business Cycle.
1. Plan 2. Source 3. Make 4. Market 5. Sell 6. Support
