How to become an Oracle Financials Consultant

Back in 1998 I had an one month Oracle Financials 10.7SC Bootcamp. Since then I haven't had the chance to have a full-cycle Oracle Financials project.
How can I keep the pace with the rapidly changing field of ERP and how can I give value to the training I had a couple of years ago? What should I do to be kept updated?
Thank you in advance!

If you're interested in becoming a consultant I'd check out Oracle, D&T, PWC, Accenture, Answerthink, etc. They're all still hiring. Be aware that you'll sometimes be put in situations that are, shall we say, outside your comfort zone.

Hello Everyone,

I have very little knowledge of BRM and R12 since the client applications i am working on is communicating to these databases. Is there any way for me to get into E-Business Suite or Oracle communications?
Thank you.

Recruiters Might not be Technical
Before a Technical person reviews your resume, it first must pass HR. Using online sites like, CareerBuilder or HotJobs, will cause HR Headhunters to look for you. Many HR Headhunters are not too Savvy with knowing what your certifications mean. When they skim your resume, they may be looking for, "SQL, RDBMS, Oracle" and other keywords. Preparing for Oracle certifications are excellent tools in learning how to use the technologies, but they can be very expensive and time consuming.
You mentioned that you want results quickly. Here is a quick resume builder that you can probably do in 1-8 hours. Why not document your existing skills with certifications? As you take these open book tests, you can search for answers and learn more. What you learn in these quick tests, will probably help you with Oracle certifications, down the road.
Prep Exams (at the time of this post, the following exams are free):

How to become Oracle Functional Consutant

Hi
I want to switch over to Oracle Functional side. How should I start and what path should I adopt to become an Oracle Functional Consultant?
Thanx and regards.
Anand

Anand,
Try the following:
- Find an empty room in your office where you will be along.
- Sit down on a char and close you eyes.
- Say very slowly:
"I am not a technical Oracle Apps Consultant!"
"I am not a technical Oracle Apps Consultant!"
"I am not a technical Oracle Apps Consultant!"
"Now I am Functional Consultant!!!!"
Basically this is it. You are Oracle Functional Consultant after that procedure.
Let to be a bit more serious.
There is no such thing like Oracle Functional Consultant. Oracle Apps consist of 400+ modules. As functional consultant you can have expertise and knowledge in some of the modules and corresponding business fields. For example: HR, Payroll, AP, AR, CSC etc.
As you can see you need to be more specific, which module you would like to be an expert in.
There is a corresponding implementation guide in the Apps Docs set. I believe it would be a good starting point for you.
And very good luck to you.

Requirements to become an Oracle certified Java application

Hi everyone,
I want to know any information on how to become an Oracle certified Java application for the company I work for.
Technologies involved are Java and Eclipse.
any information or contact you can provide will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Sebastian

My suggestion is:
Consider First:
1) The exam 1z0-051 which should demonstrate your SQL skills.
2) The exam 1z0-047 which should earn an SQL Certified Expert Certificate.
Beyond that you will need to become more familiar with PL/SQL and go towards a PL/SQL developer OCA then OCP
I believe the following thread is relevant 1Z0-146
Read the blogs/FAW at the top of the forum, and become familair with the oracle education certification pages.
You may also seek out some the the '2-day' training as well.
Hoep this helps.

Please send resumes to jobs AT bizarrays.com
Salary : CAN $70K to 100K (based on experience)
Note: Candidates must be Canadian citizens or Permanent residents.

Hi,
I can tell you about my experience in different process.
I usually have a first interview with the recruiter/agency this first interview is quite general, he usually review your CV, job history,... the recruiter ask you about your interest or motivation for that process, if you are willing to travel, reallocate, etc.. your salary expectations and your knowledge in the different modules. This is the easier interview and if everything is ok, the recruiter will tell you for next steps, probably about the project, the employer, etc...
In the second interview normally is with the consultancy company, with the manager and an experience consultant that usually asks about technical questions, they ask for example, how to setup a dual accounting process with SLA in GL, which reports you would use to reconcille AP/AR and GL, how many segments do you need to setup in GL for a specific business situation, how to load assest in FA, which are de accounting steps from buy goods until you account the AP invoices,...
In some cases you have also a final interview with customer just to get the final approval, but the really important one is the second interview.
Good Luck ;-)

How to be come an oracle financial Consultant

Hi
I am a qualified accounatant and will like to try my hands on Oracle Financial. Can someone please advice on how on how to become one and what it entails, where the best training can be obtained in London, United Kingdom.
I want to do the training but will like to know where to get it. I prefer the tutor led training with real case study not just books alone.
Thanks
My email is [email protected]

I had the same problem. My specific requirements were to convert it to double. But the standard ADO.NET numeric should also work. Here is how I've done it in managed C++. This code is trying to be provider independent, hence using dynamic invocation:
System::Object* pObjValue = pTypeCmd->InvokeMember( "GetOracleDecimal",
                    static_cast<BindingFlags>(
                    BindingFlags::Instance
                    | BindingFlags::Public
                    | BindingFlags::InvokeMethod ),
                    NULL,
                    pDataRec,
                    objParams );
DebugAssert( NULL != pObjValue, "NULL != pObjValue" );
System::Double dValue;
if (NULL != pObjValue)
     System::String* pStrVal = pObjValue->ToString();
     if (NULL != pStrVal)
          dValue = Convert::ToDouble( pStrVal );

Please let us know how to merge these patches and proceed with our R12.1 upgrade driver.

Your quick action in this regards will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Mohammed.

Mohammed,
I am not an expert although I have significant experience upgrading the database and applications from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.1 and 12.1.3 in both test and production environments. The following are a few thoughts as you continue down the upgrade path:
Patch 8773483 will need to be installed in pre-install mode along with a number of other pre-install mode patches. If you haven't looked at the following note you will need to since it contains information you need:
Oracle Applications Release Notes, Release 12.1.1 [ID 798258.1]
Pay particular attention to the README.txt instructions for patch 9179588 since it wants you to merge other patches with it before applying.
Another note you need to be aware of, especially if you want reconcile past the 6 month window used for accrual write offs during the upgrade, is:
R12.0 and R12.1: FAQ for the SLA Upgrade: SLA Pre-Upgrade, Post-Upgrade, and Hot Patch [ID 604893.1]
Other good sources of information for financials are:
Impact of R12 Design in Procure To Pay Accounting Flow [ID 429105.1]
Projects Uptake of the TCA Architecture in Release 12 [ID 417511.1] <--- AR/TCA (HZ) table join information that is very good
Payments In Order Management In R12 [ID 1164613.1]
If you don't have XLE and ZX currently licensed in your 11.5.10.2 instance, you will need to license them so the tax conversion runs successfully.
If you have legal entity identifications that are more than 30 characters, you will want to be aware of the size limitation imposed on the column LEGAL_ENTITY_IDENTIFIER in the table XLE.XLE_ENTITY_PROFILES, The following job will fail if the combined values exceed the LEGAL_ENTITY_IDENTIFIER column length which is shortened in R12:
xleupg01.sql
There are lots of potential pitfalls in an R12 upgrade. You simply need to test, test, and test again everything you use, read the RCD's and R12 documentation as much as possible, etc ... Having said that, there are many good things about an R12 upgrade too, from both the functional and technical perspectives.
