Simplified Loader’s Tasks Template is a fully integrated Spreadsheet with Oracle Fusion, allowing users to download, create, and update Task details. Project Template also enables us to create/update/delete Tasks, Transaction Controls, and DFFs.
Users of the Oracle Fusion PPM module can utilize Simplified Loader’s Excel Templates to download or upload Tasks from Excel to Oracle Fusion. Excel Template provides a feature-rich interface and allows management of all information required for Project creation from within the Spreadsheet. Excel Template provides a list of values for fields like Organization, Service Type, etc. The Template offers full support to work with Transaction Controls and Task DFFs.
Project Task Template is best suited for both centralized task creation processes or Data Migration. Simplified Loader Excel Template can be distributed to the users who wish to create tasks for organizations using centralized task creation processes. The portable nature of Simplified Loader Excel sheets makes it possible to distribute the file to any user (inside or outside your organization) who wishes to supply Task details. The person providing input data can utilize the offline features of the Simplified Loader Template to enter and validate data. When the centralized task creation team receives Tasks data, they can use the same file (without a need to copy-paste data from one Excel file to another) to upload Tasks from Excel to Oracle Fusion.
Oracle provides an FBDI sheet for data upload. Compared with FBDI, Simplified loader Templates are 95% more convenient to use in terms of organizing data in Excel, steps involved in data upload, and resolving errors. Please review a detailed comparison with FBDI Template here.
