Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials 25C continues the progressive adoption of the Redwood design
system, Oracle’s next-generation user experience focused on modern, intuitive interfaces with
faster navigation, reduced clicks, and enhanced accessibility. While the core Financials What’s
New documentation emphasizes functional enhancements like touchless expenses and policy
inquiries, Redwood integrations are primarily delivered through profile options that enable
redesigned pages across modules such as Expenses, Payables, Receivables, and Procurement-
related financial workflows. These pages improve usability for tasks like expense management
and invoice processing, often requiring administrative setup.
Many Redwood pages are opt-in via profile options (e.g., set to “Y” in Manage Administrator
Profile Values), with some enabled by default. After enabling, users may need to log out and log
back in. Not all pages use profile options; some are controlled via Offerings or Setup and
Maintenance tasks. For pages with search functionality, ensure Oracle Search Cloud Service
(OSCS) indexing is complete.
Below is a summary of key Redwood pages and enhancements in Financials 25C, categorized by
module. This focuses on new or updated Redwood experiences; for a full list of profile options,
refer to Oracle’s “Enable and Set Up Redwood Pages” guide.
Expenses
Touchless Mobile Expenses Redwood Page: Introduces a fully responsive Redwood interface for
mobile expense entry, automating report creation from corporate card transactions (e.g., J.P.
Morgan integration) to minimize manual input, ensure compliance, and speed reimbursements.
Employees can enable auto-submission for a seamless flow; auditors benefit from rule-based
spot checks to reduce delays. Enabled via opt-in in the Expenses offering; requires prior setup
for card issuers like Visa or Mastercard.
Expense Policy Inquiry Page: A new Redwood page powered by the Expenses Policy Agent,
allowing users to query policies conversationally (e.g., via AI-guided prompts) directly in the
touchless workflow, reducing navigation to external docs.
Payables and Invoicing
Manage Invoices Redwood Page: Redesigned for faster invoice creation and editing, with
integrated funds checking and budget impact visibility. Supports Redwood’s conversational UI
for fewer clicks; opt-in via profile option ORA_PAY_INVOICES_REDWOOD_ENABLED.
Supplier Portal Contracts Review Page: Suppliers access a new Redwood home page navigation
card for tracking shared procurement contracts, with improved monitoring and review tools.
Enable via the “Redwood: Enable the New Supplier Portal Home Page Experience” opt-in in
Procurement (integrated with Financials).
Receivables and Cash Management
Personal Payment Methods Approval Page: Enhanced Redwood experience for approving
employee bank accounts, including status tracking, document attachments for ownership
verification, and usability indicators for payroll. Integrated with Treasury and Payments; opt-in
via Financials setup.
External Message Definitions Page: Redwood redesign for managing B2B messaging details
(e.g., names, types), accessible post-logout after enabling
ORA_CMK_EXTERNAL_MESSAGE_DEFINITIONS_REDWOOD_ENABLED.
General Redwood Enhancements Across Financials
Redwood Analytics Integration: Embed OTBI reports as KPIs, charts, or visualizations (e.g.,
metric cards with color-coded badges) directly into Financials dashboards via Edit Page Layout.
Supports filters, parameters, and drill-downs; auto-populates based on report data. Access via
/fscmUI/redwood/cx-analytics/application/container/dvconfig.
Documents Management Task: Migrated to a Redwood page in the Collaboration Messaging
work area for B2B document setup (e.g., enabling per document). Run the “Maintain
Collaboration Messaging Data” process for migration; enable
ORA_CMK_DOCUMENTS_REDWOOD_ENABLED.
Address Maintenance Pages: Added type-ahead search, autocomplete, and geospatial
coordinates (latitude/longitude) to verified addresses in Redwood and responsive pages.
Upgrade and Implementation Notes
Enabling Redwood Pages: Use the table in Oracle’s Redwood setup guide for profile codes and
default enablement status (many off by default in 25C). Test OSCS indexing for search-enabled
pages.
Retirements and Transitions: No major Financials-specific retirements in 25C, but monitor for
Procurement self-service shifts (e.g., requisitions to responsive apps) impacting financial
approvals.
Customization: Extend pages using Visual Builder Studio for validations or guided journeys.
Testing Recommendations: Validate integrations with HCM (e.g., payroll approvals) and SCM
(e.g., PO funds checks).
These updates prioritize efficiency in financial operations, with Redwood’s consumer-grade
design reducing training needs and errors.
