I have been writing about the Redwood Experience with Supply Chain Management, especially with the Inventory Management. Oracle has gone all-in with Redwood Experience in Inventory Management in 25B.
The 25 Inventory Management readiness documentation lists all new features and how to use them, so I will not repeat this greatly written document: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/readiness/scm/25b/inv25b/index.html
For the previous features in Redwood, please consider visiting the Readiness documentation: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/readiness/scm-all.html
This page is my personal favorite since it provides easy to find features and documentation along with that.
1. Why?
You may be asking the question: why is the Redwood so hot and why do I have to transform?
If you are an Oracle customer or you have been in Oracle space for a while (I have been in the space for almost three decades), you know that once Oracle sets a vision and starts delivering new technology it becomes the future. We have witnessed this when Oracle moved the business applications from 10.7 Character mode to 10SC (Smart Client) 10NCA (Network Architecture). We went from character mode to GUI. It wasn’t easy and quick, but it happened. Then we moved from major releases in EBS and got used to the Self Service architecture.
Oracle delivered the Fusion Applications long time ago and we have witnessed that each quarterly release has added more functionality. Since 2024 Oracle has been improving user interface and adding mobility to the Inventory Management pages, but the most radical improvements have happened in 25A and 25B. Now, almost 100% of the Inventory Management is in Redwood and it’s the next generation of Cloud applications.
Redwood brings better usability and better user interface that I explained in my past blog https://blogs.perficient.com/2025/05/30/starting-redwood-experience-with-25a-inventory-management/, but it also opens the door for Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Oracle is expected to release major AI improvements in 25C that I plan to write a blog to talk about. Redwood Experience is a prerequisite for all cool AI technology to work. Agentic AI features or AI Agents will be part of the Fusion Applications which is a topic for another blog.
So, while majority of the screens are optional, why not get ahead of the game and start adopting?
2. How
You may be asking the question: what actions do I need to take to use Redwood
Read Documentation. In Customer Connect, we are seeing many questions from the Oracle Community about Redwood pages not populating items or screens are coming out blank. Please see this documentation for the important considerations
https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/readiness/scm/25a/inv25a/25A-inventory-wn-t65792.htm
By the way, if you have not registered to Oracle Customer Connect, I highly recommend, so you can get in contact with the rest of your peer Oracle Community members and Oracle ACEs like myself who can possibly respond to your questions: https://community.oracle.com/customerconnect/
Then please see the Profile options for the new features. You will have to flip the profile options at site level from No to Yes, so that the features are enabled.
The documents I previously mentioned have the profile option names and the navigation is to use the task bar from the Functional Setup Manager and search for Manage Administrative Profile Values.
3. What
You may be asking the question: what Redwood Pages I should use first
Adoption is very critical when changing the user experience. Change Management becomes critical migrating from traditional cloud pages to the newly designed Redwood Pages. What I would recommend is to first enable the configuration pages, so that the internal Oracle team and business analysts have a feel of the Redwood Experience.
Then there are a few pages that users can be beneficial that I mentioned in my prior blog: https://blogs.perficient.com/2025/05/30/starting-redwood-experience-with-25a-inventory-management/
One bold move is to flip all features to Redwood and start testing internally first in a lower pod. Oracle has designed this, so companies have time to take on as much as they can during the course of an unidentified period of time. As of today, Oracle has not announced when the Redwood Experience will be mandatory. Most pages are possible to switch back and forth, but please read the feature’s release note to see if there is a not that will explicitly say that once it’s turned on, there is not a path to go back.
In conclusion, Oracle Fusion Application’s future is in Redwood Experience and built in AI, so I recommend that you try to adapt and use.
