Custom UI with VBS & Redwood
Enhancing Every Domain of the Oracle Ecosystem
Platform Architecture — How It Works
VBS is the same low-code tool Oracle itself uses to build Redwood. Extensions live natively inside Fusion
Cloud — same login, roles, data, and security model — and survive every quarterly Oracle upgrade
automatically.

Modules
VBS extensions are part of Oracle — not bolted on. No middleware. No separate user management. No upgrade risk.
Why VBS Matters — Business Value for Functional Teams
Standard Oracle screens serve standard needs. VBS fills the gaps that every business has — without leaving Oracle, without custom code, and without breaking at the next upgrade.
-
Eliminates manual workarounds
Replaces spreadsheets, emails & paper trails that sit outside Oracle — data stays where it belongs, in the system of record. -
Connects processes that span modules
A single VBS screen can pull Finance, Procurement, and Supplier data together — no swivel-chair between applications. -
Built-in audit trail & compliance
Every submission is timestamped, validated, and stored natively in Oracle — audit-ready without extra tooling or manual logs.
-
Enforces business rules at the point of entry
Validation, mandatory fields, and live ERP lookups stop bad data before it enters Oracle — not after month-end.
-
Designed around the role, not the system
Front-line users see only what they need. Approvers get exception dashboards. Managers get self-service — all without IT tickets.
-
Faster to build, cheaper to maintain
Low-code means weeks not months. Extensions survive Oracle’s quarterly upgrades — no regression testing, no rebuild cycles.

VBS Use Cases Across Oracle Modules
Because the building blocks are identical across modules, a proven Finance capability transfers directly to SCM, HCM, HR, and Procurement. Functional teams get screens designed for their role — not the generic Oracle standard.
| Module | VBS Use Case | Business Value |
|---|---|---|
| Finance / ERP | Cash Application — select customer, attach remittance, validate & post in one flow (live ERP lookup at every step) | Zero missed fields · full audit trail · faster close |
| SCM | Mobile receiving, inventory check & shipment confirmation tailored to warehouse / planning roles; exception dashboards | Fewer floor errors · faster ops · quicker onboarding |
| HCM & HR | Guided onboarding, transfer & leave journeys; manager self-service cards that surface the right tasks for each role | Higher adoption · less HR admin · consistent completion |
| Procurement | Streamlined requisition & approval screens; supplier document intake; dashboards surfacing items awaiting action | Faster cycle times · spend control · cleaner audit trail |
Cross-module power: A single VBS screen can bridge Finance, Procurement, and Supplier data — one view, one decision, no swivel-chair between Oracle modules.
What This Means for Functional Stakeholders
For Finance & Ops leads
Processes close faster, data is cleaner, and the audit trail is automatic — no chasing attachments or reconciling spreadsheets.
For SCM & Procurement
Front-line staff follow the same guided steps every time — fewer errors, faster throughput, less supervisor intervention
For HR & HCM teams
Employees complete journeys themselves. Managers act from dashboards. HR admin drops without reducing control or compliance.
