What is FSCR
The Oracle Fusion Setup and Configuration Skills Registry (FSCR) is a collection of reusable implementation skills, guidance, and reference workflows that AI assistants can use to help people understand and plan Oracle Fusion Cloud implementations. It organizes technical services, implementation methods, and domain knowledge across areas such as Financials, HCM, Supply Chain, and CX.
For consultants, architects, and implementation leads, FSCR provides a structured way to explore setup tasks, understand their dependencies, and identify the business decisions needed before configuration begins.
This post walks through getting started with FSCR using one CX Sales example: qualifying incoming sales leads consistently. You’ll download the repository, open it in an AI assistant, and explore the use case—all before connecting to a Fusion environment.
How FSCR is organized
FSCR organizes implementation knowledge into skills. Each skill describes a responsibility, the information it needs, its dependencies, and the work it supports.
The repository has several layers:
- Router: Directs implementation requests to the appropriate workflows.
- Core: Provides reusable technical services.
- Shared: Covers implementation methods used across functional domains.
- Pillars: Contains domain guidance for ERP, HCM, SCM, and CX.
- Knowledge: Holds catalogs and reference material.
- Project: Preserves implementation state and artifacts across sessions.
An AI assistant can follow these relationships to explain a task in its wider implementation context.
FSCR is separately released sample and reference material. It does not include a Fusion environment or credentials and is outside Fusion Cloud product support.
Download FSCR and open it in your assistant
Download FSCR as a ZIP, then extract it to a local folder.
Open this folder in your approved AI assistant as its working folder or project. Keep the repository structure intact so the assistant can follow related guidance and dependencies.
Start by confirming that the assistant can access the files:
Check whether you can read README.md and core/getting-started/onboarding/SKILL.md in this FSCR folder. Briefly explain their purpose. Keep this check read-only.
Then ask for an introduction:
Start with FSCR Onboarding. Introduce FSCR in simple language for someone interested in CX Sales. Explain the main repository folders and how they work together. Do not connect to Fusion, create a project, or change files.
These prompts establish a useful starting point: the assistant can read the repository and ground its explanations in the supplied material.
Explore a CX Sales use case: lead qualification
Imagine a company receiving sales enquiries through its website. Each enquiry contains basic contact information and a description of the customer’s interest.
Sales representatives need a consistent way to decide which enquiries deserve further attention. Without agreed qualification criteria, one representative might prioritize purchase timing while another focuses on available funding.
Before configuring anything, the business needs to discuss questions such as:
- What customer need should the salesperson establish?
- Is funding available?
- What is the intended purchase timeline?
- Who participates in the buying decision?
These are illustrative discovery questions. The right questions—and their relative importance—depend on the business.
Oracle Sales supports lead qualification templates containing questions, responses, weights, and scores. Oracle’s documentation places Manage Sales Lead Qualification Template under the Sales offering and Leads functional area. Read Oracle’s template guidance.
This gives us a focused task to explore through FSCR.
Understand the task before configuring it
Ask the assistant to explain the local guidance:
As a reading exercise, use the local CX Sales guidance and the Manage Sales Lead Qualification Template skill to explain this task to a beginner. Explain the difference between an offering, a functional area, and a setup task. Identify the files supporting your explanation. Do not execute the workflow, access Fusion, create a project, or change files.
The example makes the hierarchy concrete:
| Level | Example |
|---|---|
| Offering | Sales |
| Functional area | Leads |
| Setup task | Manage Sales Lead Qualification Template |
Next, introduce the fictional business scenario:
Imagine a company qualifying website enquiries. In this conversation, suggest a simple questionnaire covering customer need, funding, purchase timing, and buying authority. Explain which decisions need business agreement. Clearly distinguish your illustrative recommendations from requirements explicitly stated in the repository. Keep the exercise read-only.
Use the response to explore the reasoning behind the design. For example:
Why might customer need carry more weight than purchase timing? What should happen when funding is unknown? What questions should an implementation consultant ask the sales manager before recommending a scoring approach?
The value of this exercise is the discussion it creates. You can examine how a business objective becomes a set of configuration decisions before working in an application.
Learn the workflow boundaries
Understanding a setup task also means understanding what its skill supports.
FSCR uses execution modes such as advisory, assisted, automated, and hybrid. These indicate whether a skill provides guidance, prepares work for review, performs controlled execution, or combines these activities.
Ask:
Explain the selected skill’s execution mode, dependencies, prerequisites, and approval boundaries from its files. Separate what I can learn locally from activities that require an authorized Fusion connection. Do not perform those activities.
The qualification-template skill includes environment-dependent export, validation, and import activities. Reading the skill helps you understand those stages and their prerequisites. Running them belongs to a later implementation workflow.
For this first exercise, your work stays within explanation, discussion, and a fictional questionnaire in the conversation.
Finish with a clear learning outcome
To check your understanding, try:
Ask me five questions about the CX Sales lead qualification example. Cover the business purpose, repository structure, setup-task hierarchy, design decisions, and execution boundaries. Ask one question at a time and explain any answer I get wrong.
By the end of this session, you should be able to explain the purpose of a lead qualification template, identify the business decisions behind its design, and locate the FSCR guidance supporting the task.
You will also have completed your first practical FSCR exercise: using repository-backed guidance to understand a CX Sales implementation scenario before connecting to Fusion.
