Pursuing a Certifcation in Oracle Financials!!!

I want to seriously pursue Oracle Financials. I stay in Zimbabwe:
1). Is it possible to get certified on a self study program through correspondence without attending classes, seeing that I can not possibly attend classes this side because there are not any that I know of?
2). If its possible, how do I source the study material for the specific path that I have chosen and how long do I have to study and prepare before I write my exams?
3). On selecting the Oracle Financial Path that I want, do I have to stick to the courses that are reflected in that path or I can do a random selection of the courses that I think are relevant to my professional background. For example, looking at this path R12 Oracle Asset Management Fundamentals, do I stick to it, do all the courses specified and get certified in that path or I have to select the courses that I think are relevant for my background and get certified?

1). Is it possible to get certified on a self study program through correspondence without attending classes, seeing that I can not possibly attend classes this side because there are not any that I know of?It depends on what certification(s) you are referring to.
Please see this link for the list of certifications -- http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=457&get_params=pillar_id:7
2). If its possible, how do I source the study material for the specific path that I have chosen and how long do I have to study and prepare before I write my exams?The only legal way to get Student Guides is by attending the class at OU.
You can find Oracle EBS R12 docs at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18727_01/index.htm
For the duration, it depends on how familiar you are with the exam topics.
3). On selecting the Oracle Financial Path that I want, do I have to stick to the courses that are reflected in that path or I can do a random selection of the courses that I think are relevant to my professional background. For example, looking at this path R12 Oracle Asset Management Fundamentals, do I stick to it, do all the courses specified and get certified in that path or I have to select the courses that I think are relevant for my background and get certified?You have to select course which is required for the certification you want to get. Please see the link referenced in this reply for details.

Is it possible to change the chart of accounts in Oracle Financials?

Dear Colleagues,
Is it possible to change the chart of accounts in Oracle Financials?
Thank you in advance.
Andrey

It is not an easy change. Oracle typically recommends against it but sometimes company structure or processes change so much that you are forced to do it.
Take a look at http://www.vantagesolutions.com/media/SCOUG_May_2004.pdf as well as http://www.erpstuff.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6381.
If you google "change oracle chart of accounts", you will find some more hits as well. This is a big project.
If you other business reasons to do a reimplementation, then changing COA as part of that will be very easy.
For a lot of companies debating between reimplementation and upgrade, a need to change COA becomes the last straw in favor of reimplementation.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

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.

Oracle Financials AP 11i tables Vs R12 tables

Hello,
I have a package that works in Oracle Apps 11i instance. This package is using 11i tables in its cursors. we are moving this package to r12 and thus this package has to run in r12 using r12 tables. I have heard that a lot of tables have been changed from 11i to r12 in oracle financials. here is the code.
Some of the tables in the AP that were used in 11i were AP_BANK_ACCOUNTS_ALL, AP_BANK_BRANCHES, AP_CHECKS_ALL,
AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL,
fnd_lookup_values_vl. I need to know their R12 counterparts or the R12 tables that needs to be inserted here.
SELECT DISTINCT abb.attribute1 attribute1
FROM APPS.ap_bank_accounts_all ABA,
APPS.ap_bank_branches ABB,
XXAP.XXAP_CD_PAYBATCH_APPR_OUT XCOUT,
APPS.AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL AISC
WHERE aisc.checkrun_id = xcout.batch_id
AND aisc.bank_account_id = aba.bank_account_id
AND aba.bank_branch_id = abb.bank_branch_id
SELECT ABB.ATTRIBUTE1 MESSAGE_ID,

Hello Srini,
Thank your for the reply. Appreciate it.
I have taken a look at the zip file from that Steven Chen blog, but i guess that does not really help me at the moment i guess. It tells us changes have been made but what needs to be replaced with which tables hasnt been mentioned.
I have taken a look at the document "Bank Setups in R12 Question [ID 434195.1]" and it provided me this below information. Is it right if i replace the tables on the left with the tables on the right.
AP_BANK_ACCOUNTS_ALL --> CE_BANK_ACCOUNTS
AP_BANK_ACCOUNTS_USES_ALL --> CE_BANK_ACCT_USES_ALL
AP_BANK_BRANCHES --> CE_BANK_BRANCHES_VCorrect - pl see this MOS Doc
R12 Cash Management 'How To' documents [ID 580516.1]
AP_CHECKS_ALL -- ??
AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL -- ??These two tables are still valid for R12. Pl see
What are the new tables in R12 for Payables and to what R12 objects are obsoleted 11i tables mapped [ID 1290116.1]
>
Is the above derived information right? Can you please help me in this? Thank you
Also, i have seen a lot of threads with the same requirement, so i guess that should help a lot of other people.
Thank youHTH

Interfacing Accounting entries to Oracle Financials

Dear Experts,
We are implementing an IS-Retail project for a client. The strange part of the implementation is that the client will still be using Oracle Financials as the Finance module and SAP FICO module will be just a facilitator.
Keeping this in mind we need to do the following:
1) Send all accounting entries created in SAP related to Vendor invoices/credit memos to Oracle Financials.
2) Send all accounting entries created in SAP related to Customer Billing / debit notes/credit notes to Oracle Financials.
3) Send all accounting entries created in SAP related to Stock Movement to Oracle Financials.
For the purpose we have identified following IDocs:
ACLPAY01 [Posting in Accounting: Incoming Invoice] for 1) above
This is essentially an inbound IDoc but can be utilised as an outbound too by doing some sort of customizing. But we do not know exactly how as SAP provides 3 sets of function modules for the purpose.
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACLPAY_CHECK
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACLPAY_POST
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACLPAY_PROJECT
We dont know exactly how to configure so that the outbound ACLPAY01 can be generated whenever a vendor invoice is created.
ACPJOU01 [Posting in Accounting from Materials Management] for 3) above.
This is also an inbound IDoc but can be utilised as an outbound too by doing some sort of customizing. As in case of ACLPAY01, SAP also provides 3 sets of function modules.
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACPJMM_CHECK
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACPJMM_POST
IDOC_OUTPUT_ACPJMM_PROJECT
We dont know exactly how to configure so that the outbound ACPJOU01 can be generated whenever there is a stock movement.
This has been hinted in this link http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/6c/089d0656c511d18ef20000e8366fc2/content.htm
We could not identify any outbound IDoc for the purpose of 2) above.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply

Importing Sales Transactions into Oracle Financials

I have a customer who is planning to use Oracle Financials as their finance solution, but we need to auto-feed the sale transactions from the sales system. These transactions corresponds (loosely speaking) to sales (or purchase) orders and delivery order. We have the ability to reformat the data (if necessary) to any format or through most interfaces (ODBC, XML, etc).
I just do not know enough about Oracle Financial to determine the appropriate format and connectivity.
I read on the Oracle Financial product page that it is possible to integrate that solution with third party solution - but there is hardly any other information available. So,
1. Has anyone done similar integration before ?
2. If so, can you kindly offer some advice - where (or whom) should I go next for more information ?
Thanks and best regards
Lai Hock

Hello:
Project's activity management gateway (AMG) is the means to
import transactions into projects. This includes creating
tasks, budgets etc. For importing/recording commitments there
is a table that needs to be created and a view that needs to be
modified to show external commitments within projects (I believe
the view is named something like
PA_External_system_commitments_view)

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.

Oracle Reports with Oracle Financials (FMIS)

Hi folks,
I'm in a bit of a bind at the moment. I really really need a little help getting an understanding of Oracle Report Writer. The situation is as follows:
I'm currently working on a system that moves data from an SQL Server 7.0 Database into some Oracle Financials (FMIS) Interface Tables. The Interface tables are apparently used to post Customer and Invoicing information into the real Oracle Financials tables, for Invoicing and General Ledger purposes.
Its come to my understanding that Oracle ReportWriter is no longer available on the market today? Is this true? The reason why I ask is, my client is tossing with the idea of using Oracle ReportWriter over Crystal Reports.
The only thing that I have heard is that Oracle Report Writer is a much more powerful tool than Crystal Reports. So I guess the main question would be, is Report Writer a more powerful and easy to use application over other report writing tools?
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Vick,
I believe it is all in the name. Oracle ReportWriter is long gone; however it has evolved to Oracle Reports which is going strong. The current version is Oracle Reports 6i and has been out for more than a year. It was preceeded by Oracle Reports 6.0, 3.0, 2.5, 2.0 and finally ReportWriter1.1,.... The Early versions were packaged in various bundles with our other tools.
Oracle Reports is a very powerful reporting tools and stacks up very well against Crystal. One big advantage is that we work extremely well against an Oracle Database (no external drivers to go through). We also run on a greater variety of machines including Unix. We provide XML output and integration with our other BI tools, Discoverer and Express as well as Oracle Portal. Reports can be deployed over the web using standard CGI/Servlet technology. I don't have room to mention all the advantages, but click on this link to our OTN website for a high level overview Reports 6i. http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/pdf/iasreports.pdf
Other documentation is also available to show you the power of Oracle Reports 6i.

Oracle Financials and Forms Applications Integration

Hi All,
I am new to Oracle financials forums and i have few trivial questions. One of our customer has our forms application now the customer wants to integrate that with ORACLE Financials. Is it possible and if so how, please elaborate or help me with relevant links or examples, URL's, case studies from where i can pick some good approximation about integration.
Our application version 10g Forms application version - 10.1.2.3 running with 10g Database.
1) How this can be done.
2) Are there any past case studies with similar approach which was successfully implemnted.
3) What are the restrictions if this cant be done.
My questions might be quiet trivial. I request the forum users to participate and discuss on this.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the documents.
Yes we have a product running with Forms 11g. So with your experience can you share similar documents or any notes which doesn't supports any of the forms features or compatibility issues which would arise while integrating. Though i understand this is a open ended question at this point in time, just want to grab the knowledge of PRO's like you on this subject. Hope you help me on this.

Integrating Forms6i/Report6i with Oracle Financials Module

Hi ,
I need a step by step guide of how I can integrate my custom forms and report into oracle Financials GL/AP.
I have developed this modules in forms 6i / report6i, but need to call them from Oracle Finacials module(GL/AP), and my report to be included in the standard reports.

Is Oracle Finacials module or the page where you want to start the integration, an OAF page? Do you have any interaction defined between the seeded and custom modules or you just want to run your module from Apps.

Customer Credit Limit from Oracle Financials to SAP

Friends,
SAP has to receive the Customer credit limit data from Oracle Financials. Can any one help me what idoc / bapi should i use for this inbound process.
If the question is not clear , please let me know.
Regards
Raj

Hi there,
In WE20, check if there is Oracle system defined as Logical system in your company. If yes, then click on the logical system. It will display the details.Check in the inbound parameters what message types are assigned for that system.
If Logical system is not defined for Oracle, then we need to define 1.
I guess message type is CRESTA. Not sure.

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.
