Answers to Webcast Questions - Using Compliant ERP E-Records in Support of Regulatory Compliance

In yesterday's webcast Using Compliant ERP E-Records in Support of Regulatory Compliance, there were a couple of technical questions around the use of E-Records in Oracle E-Business Suite that we didn't get time to answer.

Thanks to our colleagues at Oracle for supporting the webcast and their help in answering these questions.

Q. Are new Oracle E-Business E-Record enabled events being added to the 11.5.10 release or just Release 12?
A. New developments are focused on Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 and most of the recent E-Record enabled events are part of the Release 12 functionality e.g. Manufacturing Execution System. Release 11.5.10 is entering the maintenance mode of its life cycle so although some Release 12 functionality was previously ported back to 11.5.10, do not expect much, if any, new functional development on 11.5.10 moving forward


Q. In a earlier Business & Decision webcast (Testing Best Practices: 5 Years of the GAMP Good Practice Guide), it was suggested to get testing documentation from the vendor. What can Oracle provide to help minimize our internal testing?
A. As we discussed on the E-Records webcast, Oracle E-Business Suite customers can access automated test scripts that will run against the E-Business Suite Vision data set from the Oracle support site (formerly MetaLink). Just log in and search on "Test Starter Kit".
For clients implementing Oracle E-Business Suite using Oracle Accelerators test scripts are also generated by the Oracle Accelerator tool and these are specific to the client's configured instance generated by the Oracle Accelerator tool (see webcast "Compliant ERP Implementation in the Regulated Life Sciences Industry" for more information).
