Planning Your Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrade from Release 11i to Release 12

A new Oracle white paper, "Planning Your Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrade from Release 11i to Release 12," was just published as MOS Doc 1406960.1. It replaces an earlier paper, MOS Doc 987516.1, extending the advice provided there with new insights gained from talking to customers at recent user conferences. The paper also adds some new tips on how to combine your upgrade with a platform migration or footprint expansion, move custom reports to strategic reporting solutions, and prepare for Process Manufacturing Inventory Convergence. The upgrade planning advice, currently focused on Release 12.1.3, also will apply to the future Release 12.2.
