Oracle Apps Functional Guidance

Hi Guru's,
Currently i am working as a Oracle Apps Technical Consultant from past 4 years.
Now i am planning to move SCM Functional side ( SCM Functional Consultant ). Is it right decision.? Please suggest me....

Hard to answer the question. It depends on your experience level, aptitude and your personal likings.
But typically that is the path taken by most techno-functional consultants.
It is important to make sure you work with the business and understand various business processes. That will make you platform independent.
If you are really interested in functional work in Supply chain area, you can look into getting CSCP or CPIM certifications. They are a bit pricey and may not offer a great value for money. However, some folks find them very useful.
Hope this helps

Hi
New Oracle novice
The better way to learn Oracle application (any module) is if you have a Domain Knowledge or experience and the company where u r seeking this domain experience should have implemented the ERP suit then that is the real kind of experience that how its works for your environment. Environment could be Manufacturing(Descrete/Process), Financials, Human Resource, or Distribution wherein the product Oracle application is mapped.
Basically Oracle application is suited for any kind of industry in the World and can be mapped upto 85% and the remaining 15% of mapping can be done by means of Customization or any workarounds.
To become more elobarative and professional you need to go thru the documents/pdfs and metalink information....etc., so that any industry that you can understand can Map the same into Oracle apps.
Hope this little bit clear to you.
Thanks

hi,
in BOM ,
setup --> Parameters, in create lower level supply attribute
change it from NO to Auto created configuration items only or autocreated configuration with ATO items.
then book sales order and proceed.
when the job order is created for final assembly, it will create job order for sub assembly also which will get reserved to the sales order no.
pls check it and give feedback.

Imran,
Personally, I would recommend Oracle University training over any other personal training. Oracle provides a “100% Student Satisfaction” which means if you are not satisfied with your learning experience you can request a free retake of the same class title within 90 days & within 50 miles of their original class.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=82
I believe the best way to learn is to have your own vision demo instance and start reading Oracle documentation. In addition, Oracle blogs and Metalink are also good source of information. I must also admit that I have learned a lot through this forum, so you can go through old threads and read about others experiences. You can also post your question and will definitely get an answer.

For the number of days, there is no specific answer as it depends on what (and how many) modules you want to learn. The duration of Oracle courses varies between 2-5 days for each module. I suggest you go through Oracle education website for more details.

How to Process flat File in Oracle Apps through Concurrent Program

Hello Everyone,
My client has a request, to process a bank file (Lockbox) which is a flat file that will be copied on UNIX box and I will have to create a new concurrent request that will process this flat file and will update receipt information in Oracle Apps database tables.
Could you please suggest, if there are any other standard Oracle Apps functions (Example FND) available which can be used through Concurrent program that can be used to open a file from a particular directory and can be read from the flat file and after processing this file can be closed.
Please let me know, if you have a small example, that would help me a lot.
Thanks

There are base concurrent programs in Accts Receivable that do consume lockbox flat files. Pl see the AR Setup/User Guides at
