Hi Dennis.

UPK Content are currently only for EBS Modules R12 and EBS Modules – R12.1. A lot of partners can help you to create content on E-BS 11i.

UPK pre-built content is UPK source content created by the Applications Development Documentation teams, documenting best practices for system processes within the Oracle applications.

Used to educate project teams and line of business owners early on in the blueprinting/envisioning stage, to assist in project scoping and fit/gap, and to provide a jump start in creating system process documentation, user acceptance test scripts, job aids, training, and support materials.

The value of UPK pre-built application content starts from the premise that implementation project teams can save substantial time and labor by leveraging UPK application content as baseline reference process flows first and then iterating to capture specific business process requirements. The savings can be substantial – project team resources typically dedicated to the preparation of system test data, storyboarding, and process standardization can be greatly reduced.

Once the delivered functionality and process flows of the new application are understood, the project team can use the UPK content as an aid to do the fit-gap analysis. For this phase of the project lifecycle, the functional expert visually moves through a UPK simulation – leveraging the application specific content - while noting in the test document the configuration and/or customizations necessary to achieve the desired business outcome.

You should find some details about UPK pre-built content on http://www.oracle.com/applications/tutor/upk-pre-... and http://www.oracle.com/applications/tutor/upk-pre-...
