Oracle iStore - Advantages of Access to existing Individual account, a R12i feature -2

In my last post Oracle iStore - Access to existing Individual account, a R12i feature I have explained that Oracle has added a new feature to let existing iStore customer  to create a New Online account .


This new feature has many advantages

1. it is safe ( as customer need not to share confidential information like C Card etc with CSR).
2. Once Online Order got created , all the old orders placed through non -online sources migrated to the Online account.
3. error free.
4. 24 * 7 Access
5. Save Cost ( as ct. is not sharing their confidential information , their is less chance of mis-handling of their data and getting sue by customers :) ) .

"Access to existing account" will work only if profile IBE_INDIVIDUAL_PARTIALS has set , if it is not set then user  will not be able to create account online.
