UML Use Case Diagrams and the Analysis of Business Processes with Oracle Applications
David Anstey
Quorum Business Solutions
Many organizations require integration of customized modules with Oracle Applications. To this end, the importance of a thorough and detailed analysis effort at the beginning of any systems development or systems integration effort is clear. Oracle has fielded tools for this very purpose; however, new versions of Oracle's tools will begin to adopt more of the UML diagramming standards. This presentation will introduce project managers to one of these diagramming standards: Use Case. It will discuss how Use Case Diagrams can be effectively employed to model the business processes of an organization and how they may be employed to integrate custom modules into Oracle Applications.

Receiving Directly Into Fixed Assets A Consignment Solution
Erika Barajas
Space4Rent.com
Space4Rent (S4R) retains all their equipment for customer as well as internal use. Instead of using the Inventory module putting all customer-assigned equipment into sub-inventories, S4R receives directly into Fixed Assets and tracks customer assigned equipment via 'asset key'. It is directly received instead of going through payables because much of the equipment is on consignment until assigned for customer use. At this point, it is capitalized and depreciated. This paper provides an insight into how Space4Rent evolved this unique solution to manage consignment equipment and the lessons learnt in implementing the same.
