Can we install Demantra 7.3.1.4 without the following EBS pre-patch mentioned in Read-me?

Hi,

Currently live on EBS and VCP 12.1.3.6 in De-centralized environment.
Want to do a fresh install of Demantra 7.3.1.4 Patch 14405087 for Demand Management.

We are NOT utilizing the out-of-the-box features for
1) SPF (Service Parts Forecasting)
2) Standard integrations to
a) Collect Shipment history and Booking history
b) Publish forecast to ASCP

Can we install Demantra 7.3.1.4 without the following EBS pre-patch mentioned in Read-me ?
14694257:R12.MSD.B - EBS-DEMANTRA INTEGRATION PATCH FOR Demantra 7.3.1.4.1

Per Doc ID 1493525.1, I am hopeful we can avoid patching EBS & VCP.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks In Advance,

Twila
