Hyperion and Oracle Financials

Hello,
Can Hyperion report directly from Oracle Financials or is a datawarehouse required?
Are there any resources that anyone could recommend regarding the set up?
Many thanks
Rachael

What Hyperion tool are you referring to?
I have used IR- Interactive Reporting to report off Oracle Financials. It is not pretty but it is possible.

What exactly are you intending to do to Oracle Apps ? You suggest you are a developer, but Oracle Apps are already developed, by Oracle. Do you want to develop peripheral applications, or become an administrator, or what ?

Retek and Oracle Financials Integration

Hi,
We are planning to implement Retek for the retail stores and Oracle Financials for the back end operations. Can some one tell me if these two products are seamlessly integrated? For example will the data flow from Retek to say AP or AR without having to develop any interfaces.
Thanks in advance.

Differences between Hyperion consolidation and Oracle Financials Consolidat

I'm looking for a document- recommendations etc. explaining why using Hyperion Consolidations versus Oracle Financials Consolidation ?
Thanks
Marcel

Genie,
I agree that a case is made on how well these two ERPs solve the day to day tasks before a company chooses one of these two. But my question is aimed at finance to begin with. You are going to need a general ledger for any company or government regardless of ERP. And how well you can drive the ledger to map your business is the key here.
The way ledger is built is around a business area ,company or country and is very tighly designed in SAP. I would like to know if there is any equivalent of the configuration items in ORACLE. I am more interested in terminology of ORACLE.
For example ,
SAP ====> ORACLE
GL ==> Book In ORACLE
Document Number ===> Invoice Number
Posting Period in SAP ==> Posting period In ORACLE
Most of the terms are finance terms , so they are common ( eg. an account number is an account number in ORACLE and SAP ) between two systems. I am interested in any specific thing that is available in ORACLE but not in SAP and vice verse.
thanks for the link you have provided.
Its very useful.

Discoverer 10g and Oracle Financials

I am a newbie. Does Discoverer run against Oracle Financials - Project Accounting in particular?
Thanks,
Cherie Machler

Hi,
Yes, Discoverer can run against Oracle Financials. You need to create a Discoverer EUL (End User Layer) that maps to the underlying Oracle financials tables and views and gives a business interpretation of the data in Oracle Financials. You can either use the EUL that is shipped with Oracle Financials Intelligence, create your own or do a bit of both.

Hi Sushanth,
See the merchandise integration guide and the operation guide of RMS (pretty good for a starter, though not more than a glimpse.)
Usually a specialized consulting firm will have the people with the experience and knowledge of these areas at hand to assist you.
I think if you really want to have these questions answered, you must hire a specialist consultant - I don't expect the forum to fill in those gaps for you, but who knows.
Also the CRP of an implementation project will deal with some of your questions, the CRP being lead by a subject matter expert (SME).
Best regards,
Erik

IE8 and ORACLE Financials...

Well as I understand it from our Customer Support team IE8 is now available from MIcrosoft Update site and may well become part of the Automatic Update pack very very soon. As an ORACLE Financials Support Analyst, I am receiving an increasing number of calls from users not being able to login because of either their: Browser versions, Java Versions, J-Initiator and/or Profiles. Add to this another version of I-Explorer and bedlam.
I just wondered if anybody else has concerns opn this and if so what they're thoughts are..

BPEL and Oracle financials Integration

Hi there,
we're at the beginning of scoping an integration project and I'm trying to get a handle on what options we have for integration with Oracle Financials. I've been referred to the BPEL Process Mgr - does anyone know of its abilities to integrate with Financials ? Does it use a JCA ? What other integration options do I have ? All help appreciated...
TIA,
aidan

The Oracle Applications adapter is installed as part of the base install, allthough licensed seperately. Adapters to other packaged applications (SAP, Peoplesoft etc) are seperate installs (and also licensed seperately).
The Oracle apps (Ebusiness Suite) adapter uses the common interface points of the applications to interface with them, and expose them in a friendly format, allowing you to browse the available modules and functions and select which ones you want to use in your BPEL process.

Key Configuration differences between SAP and ORACLE Financials

Hello,
After spending good 7 years in SAP related projects recently I started working in ORACLE Applications. I used to be an ORACLE programmer years back. To my surprise the same ORACLE Forms are still very much the heart of the ORACLE UI.
Then I thought what will be the key differences between ORACLE and SAP in terms of configuration elements. While I know a bunch of configuraion items in SAP , I am not sure about the same in ORACLE world. I am not even sure some of the configuration items that are available in SAP exists in ORACLE.
Does anyone know both sides of the coin ? The terminology and design ?
SAP has
Client,Company code, Business area, Functional Area, GL, Posting Key, Document Type.
I am trying to get the details of the equivalents of these in ORACLE.
Does anyone know it ?
For e.g , when you post to AP or AR in SAP , GL is updated automatically. In ORACLE you post to a AP Book or AR Book then Run a batch to move them to GL Book.
ORACLE uses SQLLoader to load data . You can write a PL SQL and update the tables directly, which is not the case in SAP. For dataloads and conversions, SAP uses BDC's ( though XI can be used but its slow).For ORACLE its the good old SQL and PlSQL combo.
What are the equivalents of the configuration elements in ORACLE world ?
Also what are the major differences between these two in terms of designing a financial system.
Does any one know ?

All of our XML components (with the exception of the XML Parser for PLSQL) work just fine outside the database.
Download the XSQL Servlet and with an appropriate JDBC connect string in the XSQLConfig.xml file (see the release notes) you and your 7.3.4.5 database should be in business for XML.

Common Supplier master database for Custom Applications and Oracle Financia

Hi,
We would like to build a custom applications (Multiple) for our organization core business operations using .NET on the database which is being used by Oracle financials R12.1.1. These custom applications are going to have its own application servers. BUT the database is common for both custom applications and oracle financials. This database is going to house on the Oracle RAC.
We would like to have a common supplier master for both custom applications and Oracle payables. Could you please help me with below questions?
1. How to create/Update/Query the supplier records in the supplier master tables provided by Oracle financials using custom applications?
2. How can we store the additional data elements needed by each custom application? We can't use the DFF on the supplier tables as the data elements for each custom application is going to be different. even though they use same supplier.
3. We might have multiple supplier with same name but different FEIN/SSN numbers. As per the design Oracle financials doesn't allow the same supplier name entered multiple times even though FEIN/SSN number is different. How can we workaround this limitation?
Thanks,

Hi,
Please find my comments below:
1. How to create/Update/Query the supplier records in the supplier master tables provided by Oracle financials using custom applications?
A: You may use Supplier Open interface and Sites Interface to Create the Supplier Records. I don't think there is any API to update Supplier Info. Since both the applications exist on same database, I think you can query the Vendor tables from Custom applications also.
2. How can we store the additional data elements needed by each custom application? We can't use the DFF on the supplier tables as the data elements for each custom application is going to be different. even though they use same supplier.
A. Designing different tables depending on Custom Application ID and Vendor ID seems to be the only option.
3. We might have multiple supplier with same name but different FEIN/SSN numbers. As per the design Oracle financials doesn't allow the same supplier name entered multiple times even though FEIN/SSN number is different. How can we workaround this limitation?
A.One alternative is to create a single supplier with each FEIN/SSN number as site. Second one is to create Supplier Name concatenated with FEIN/SSN numbers as different suppliers and store the actual name in some DFF or other field. Standard functionality won't allow such duplication (Cannot Create Supplier/Employee With The Same Name Of Existing Supplier [ID 743430.1]).
Hope it helps.

Oracle Financials or Hyperion Planning for variance analysis??

We are considering Hyperion Planning for our Departmental budgets/forecasts and I'm have a disagreement with a few piers. Was hoping you could help. It's my contention that the budgets/forecasts AND actuals should be populated in Hyperion Planning. A few of my piers contend that the budgets/forecats should be housed in Hyperion Planning and pushed down to Oracle Financials for variance analysis - in order to provide drill back capability into the transacations that caused the variance.
Since H.P. is a consolidated system, I would think it's impossible to budget at a summary account level in H.P. and push it to base level/transaction level within Oracle Financials (one to many). In my view, the actuals should flow up from Oracle Financials, via FDM, into H.P. where variance analysis can take place? I would think drill back capability could be provided via FDM within Planning?
Anyway, was hoping to get your thoughts.

Hi,
We are currently in the final phase of implementing Oracle Financials and Hyperion for the same purpose that you have described in your post. We use Oracle Financials to record actuals and then transfer it to Hyperion under the scenario 'Actual'. While the budget/forecast data in only entered/saved in Hyperion. There are several financial reports for variances that are generated out of Hyperion. So far, this arrangement is serving us pretty well. I second your point that in Hyperion, we can easily compare summary level data. We have Hyperion reports that do variances calculations for sub-totals. In fact, we are also using HP reports for consolidated statements such as Balance sheet, Income statement etc. The actual data for these statements is coming from GL.
As for drill through functionality (from HP to sub-ledger details in financials), we are in process of implementing FDM and use it for both (1) loading data and (2) drill through.
Hope this helps.

Archive and Purge in Oracle Financials (verions 11.0.3, database 8.0.5)

Hi all,
I am going to purge balances and journals data by using function 'Archive and Purge' in Oracle Financials.
I want to calculate the space that can free up finally.
i.e. calculate the difference before and after data purging.
How to get this information?
Thanks for your kind response.

Assuming you have the source data in access97.
Create tables in Oracle exactly the same as access tables.
Create links from access ODBC drivers to Oracle tables.
Export the data from access.
If you want to keep the sources data in access and update the data everyday, you can use append queries.
YOu can refresh the data by truncating the destination tables and export fresh.
Another option is sql*loader. It depends what your situation is.
