To simplify the idea community experience for our EBS customers and to now follow the same structure format of the Support communities, the EBS Development team will be changing the structure of the EBS Ideas Labs in E-Business Suite (EBS) – Ideas Lab. The new structure should be intuitive to users, based on how the EBS products are categorized. We are also announcing a new Ideation community for “EBS on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure” and are looking forward to your ideas for EBS on OCI.

With the structure change, after choosing the top-level E-Business Suite (EBS) – Ideas Lab option, community members will see a short list of 10 EBS Ideas categories that represent the EBS product families. When you drill into a category, you will then see a list of communities that represents Products within that category. For example, when you click into Manufacturing – EBS Ideas category, you will see these options to choose from to post your idea:

  • Cost Management
  • Discrete Manufacturing
  • Process Manufacturing

Below is a representation of the categories (on the left) and the child categories that will be within them (on the right):
