Introduction

Customer information is the foundational data for any enterprise. Definition of a Customer object is a crucial one in the Oracle ERP Cloud implementation.

  2. Users creating / updating customer information through spreadsheets
  3. Integration with another cloud / on-premise application
  4. Initial data load of customer records from legacy applications

ERP Cloud requirement will be just to create Customer Account. Read the complete article here.
