Creating a menu in Oracle E-Business Suite R12
Creating a menu in Oracle E-Business Suite R12 is a fundamental step in designing the user interface to facilitate navigation for users. Menus organize and present a structured list of responsibilities, functions, and sub-menus. Here's a step-by-step script on how to create a menu:
Step 1: Log in to Oracle E-Business Suite R12 using a privileged account with responsibility management access.
Step 2: Navigate to the System Administrator responsibility.
Step 3: In the System Administrator responsibility, go to the Security menu.
Step 4: Select the Menu window. This is where you'll define and create the new menu.
Step 5: Click the 'Define' button to open the Define Menu form.
Step 6: In the Define Menu form, you need to fill in the following information:
- Menu Code: Enter a unique, user-friendly code for the menu.
- Application: Select the application to which this menu belongs. It could be General Ledger, Human Resources, or any other module.
- Menu Name: Provide a name for the menu.
- Description: Write a short description that explains the purpose of the menu.
-- Step 7: In the 'Menu Entries' tab, add menu entries (items) that represent responsibilities, functions, or sub-menus. Each menu entry should have a unique sequence number to determine its position in the menu.
-- Step 8: For each menu entry, specify whether it's a responsibility, function, or sub-menu and provide additional details, such as the name and the target (where the menu entry leads to).
-- Step 9: Define the security rules for the menu entries in the 'Security Rules' tab. This is where you can restrict access to specific entries based on user roles or data security.
-- Step 10: Review the menu entries and the security settings.
-- Step 11: After configuring all the necessary settings, save your menu by clicking 'Save' or 'Done'.
-- Step 12: You can now assign the newly created menu to responsibilities by editing those responsibilities. In the responsibility setup, you can specify which menu should be used.
-- Step 13: Verify the menu setup by assigning it to a responsibility and testing its functionality.
-- Step 14: Regularly review and update menus as your organization's requirements change.
-- Step 15: Ensure proper documentation of the menu setup for auditing and compliance purposes.
Creating and managing menus in Oracle E-Business Suite R12 is crucial for providing a user-friendly and organized interface for your users. Proper setup and maintenance of menus enhance user productivity and facilitate easier navigation within the application.
