Oracle Fusion lets users attach documents, but not open them. OAN adds seamless in-browser viewing and Microsoft 365 editing for the Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files attached across Fusion, with no change to how your users work and no training.
Attachments are everywhere in Oracle Fusion, on invoices, purchase orders, projects, journals, and worker records. But the only things you can do with one are upload it and download it. There is no viewer.
Oracle Fusion lets users attach a document and take it back out again. There is no way to actually open and read an attachment inside Fusion itself.
To see what is in an attachment, a user downloads it, opens desktop Office, and now a copy of business data is sitting in a Downloads folder outside the application.
Invoice backups, contracts, budgets, and workpapers arrive as Office files. The numbers and terms inside them are one download away, never one glance away.
AP approvers, buyers, project leads, and accountants lose minutes on every attachment. Across a day of approvals and reviews, that adds up fast.
OAN turns a Fusion attachment from something you download into something you simply open. Three steps for the user, and the first two are exactly what they do today.
People attach documents to Fusion transactions the same way they always have. Nothing about how they upload changes, so there is nothing new to learn.
Instead of a download, a click opens the document right in the browser, in full fidelity. A reviewer sees the invoice backup or contract without leaving their flow.
When it is a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, it opens in the Microsoft 365 experience for real editing. View-only or full edit is yours to configure.
Office documents show up all over Oracle Fusion. Here is what changes for the people working in each module every day.
AP invoices in Oracle Fusion often carry an Excel breakdown or a supporting workbook. Approvers open it inline to check line items, tie out totals, and approve without ever downloading the file.
Word contracts and Excel price quotes attach to purchase orders, negotiations, and supplier records. Buyers read the terms and compare quotes in the browser, and edit when they need to.
Excel budgets and Word status reports live as attachments across projects. Project leads open the numbers, adjust a forecast, and update a report in place, without a download and re-upload cycle.
Word offer letters, forms, and employee documents attach to worker records. HR reviews them securely in the browser, keeping sensitive documents out of Downloads folders and email.
Excel workpapers and reconciliations attach to journals and periods. During close, accountants and reviewers open the support right on the entry, tie out the numbers, and keep moving.
Excel spec sheets, Word instructions, and shipping documents attach to items and orders. Planners and fulfillment teams open them on the spot to confirm details before they act.
The whole point is that it feels like Fusion, only better. People keep working the way they always have, and attachments simply start opening.
Users attach and open documents in the flow they already know. There is no new tool to learn and no rollout program to run.
Turn editing on where it helps and keep it view-only where it does not. It is a configuration choice, set the way each team needs.
Because it is web-based, documents open on any device and browser. A reviewer can check an attachment from a laptop or a tablet.
The experience stays inside your Oracle world and respects who is allowed to see what. Users only open the attachments they already have access to.
Watch a user open an Excel invoice backup and a Word contract straight from an Oracle Fusion transaction, view them in the browser, and edit in Microsoft 365, with no download in sight.
End-to-end walkthrough: Oracle Fusion attachments, viewed and edited in Microsoft 365.
Yes. With OAN, attachments open directly in the browser in full fidelity. Users no longer have to download a file and open desktop Office just to see what is inside it.
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files open in the Microsoft 365 experience for viewing and editing. Other common document types can be viewed in the browser as well.
No. People attach documents to Fusion transactions exactly as they do today. The viewing and editing experience is added on top, so there is nothing new to learn and no training needed.
Yes. Editing is a configuration choice. You can enable full editing where it adds value and keep documents view-only elsewhere, per the needs of each team.
Yes. Many Fusion modules use document attachments, including Accounts Payable, Procurement, Project Management, Human Capital Management, General Ledger, and Supply Chain. In-place viewing and editing works across them.
No. The editing experience is web-based through Microsoft 365, so it works in the browser on any device without a local Office installation.
Editing uses Microsoft 365 Office for the web, so users need a Microsoft 365 plan that includes web editing entitlement. Viewing has lighter requirements than full editing. We confirm the exact entitlement with you during the assessment.
No. The OAN Microsoft 365 integration for Oracle Fusion comes with no license fee. You use your existing Microsoft 365 plan for web editing, and there is no separate OAN product license to buy. Implementation is a services engagement that we scope with you.
Book a working session with an OAN architect. Bring the Fusion modules where your teams live in attachments, and we will show you exactly how in-place viewing and Microsoft 365 editing looks for them.
No commitment. A working session with architects who know Oracle Fusion inside out.
