How to gain Oracle R12 shopper access

If accessing Oracle R12 is essential for your role in the divisional office, please email the MSD Divisional Finance Team at msdfinance@medsci.ox.ac.uk to request access.

The necessary forms will be completed, approved, and sent to the Central University for processing. This process can take up to five working days. You will receive an email confirming your access and providing instructions on how to log into R12 once it has been granted.

  • Type "Shopper" and run the search, and you'll see that it's the 5th option down the list, called simply "Shopper".

  • Click on the green downward arrow next to the line and then it gives you the option to Book.

  • Click through the various "Next Step" screens and it should then check out and send you the information you need to access the course.
