The Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials 25D release, available in non-production environments,
focuses on AI-driven automation, expanded adoption of Redwood UX, and streamlined
compliance across financial operations. This update introduces generative AI agents for faster
insights and decision-making, alongside enhancements in core modules like Payables,
Receivables, and Projects. Key themes include proactive risk management, embedded analytics,
and mobile-friendly interfaces.

for setup and access.

and providing instant insights on balances, transactions, and forecasts across modules.
