Hello Oracle Fin Brothers,
For Oracle Financial Functional Consultant
I am new in Oracle Financials, Just completed my training and I am having my first interview Thursday; the recruiter tell me the first step will be Situational Interview and I really don't understand what this mean; can some one tell me exactly how is an Situational Interview in Oracle Financial Functional? what are the possible questions and answers? did some one have a list of situational interview questions and answer to help me with? I will really appreciated.
The second step will be Skill interview; what is the difference with situational interview? what are the possible questions and answers? can some one provide a list of possible questions and answers? for Oracle Functional consultant?
Hope to get some helpful post
Thanks
Ferrari

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 ;-)

Oracle financials end user responsibility in implementation project

Could any body tell me the Oracle financials end user responsibility in implementation project

SO what is the variance in the responsibilities for Functional consultant and Key user in implementation or support project.
=========================================================================================
See in implementation project, the resource who is performing the implementation needs access to all the forms i.e. setup, transaction forms etc.
Also within an implementation project, there may be resources who are not associated with set, hence they responsibility will have only transactiion forms or inquiry forms.
=======================================================================================================
In Support project, the following may be valid users associated with the functions:
the Invoice entry folk who keys in the invoice needs access to Invoice form only.
Similarly The invoice inquiry folk who needs to inquire the invoice will need to have access to Invoice Inquiry form only.
Similarly a person who is incharge of the overall control within a support project will have access to all the forms, functions, menu etc.
=================================================================================
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

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 ApEx with Oracle Financials (Apps)

I've seen a few questions on how to integrate Oracle Financials (Apps) with ApEx applications. Below are some methods that I use. The main issue with these approaches is that your Apex user will get a new session each time. I have an unsupported routine that will allow me to maintain the same session with each return to ApEx from Apps. Scott Spadafore has commented several times on how you might do that. I'm going to leave it to Scott's posts to explain it as I don't want to post unsupported workarounds.
1. Utilize Oracle SSO for both Apps and ApEx.
A. Set up both to use SSO
B. Put the following code in the Auth Scheme Session Verify Function to establish the users' Apps Context.This will allow a user to run Apps APIs as the correct Apps User.
declare
l_id number(20);
begin
begin
select user_id into l_id from fnd_user
where user_name = :APP_USER;
exception
when others then
l_id := -9999;
return FALSE;
end;
fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE(
user_id => l_id,
resp_id => 10,
resp_appl_id => 10,
security_group_id => 0,
server_id => -1);
return true;
end;
C. Now you can put a link with the Apps to point to an ApEx page, e.g. f?p=123:456::::456:P456_ID:876
2. Use your own authentication scheme--this will require the user to log in to the ApEx App with their Apps un/pw.
A. Create a custom Auth Scheme that utilizes page 101 as a login page (session not valid page = 101 )
B. Follow Step B in (1) above
C. On Page 101 put in the following validation (note, this will not log the login -- you can use a different api if you want to log it)
begin
if fnd_web_sec.validate_login(:P101_USERNAME
, :P101_PASSWORD) = 'Y' then
return true;
else
return false;
end if;
end;
D. Put the following process in place
if not HTMLDB_CUSTOM_AUTH.SESSION_ID_EXISTS THEN
HTMLDB_CUSTOM_AUTH.SET_SESSION_ID_TO_NEXT_VALUE;
end if;
declare
l_flow_page varchar2(10000);
l_next_session varchar2(10000);
begin
l_flow_page := substr(replace(:FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL,'|',':'),5, length(:FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL));
l_next_session := HTMLDB_CUSTOM_AUTH.GET_NEXT_SESSION_ID;
l_flow_page := substr(l_flow_page,1,8) || l_next_session || substr(l_flow_page,9,length(l_flow_page));
HTMLDB_UTIL.RESET_AUTHORIZATIONS;
htmldb_custom_auth.post_login(
P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME,
-- P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
-- P_SESSION_ID => :FLOW_SESSION,
P_SESSION_ID => l_next_session,
-- P_SESSION_ID => :APP_SESSION, -- ain
-- P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':10'
-- P_APP_PAGE => l_flow_page ||':',
P_APP_PAGE => '&APP_ID.:10',
p_preserve_case => FALSE
end;

MKS Toolkit for Oracle Financials

Hello,
While installing Oracle Financials 11, I received an error that says the following
==========================================
System Utilities Check : command : cmd.exe /c C:\Stage11i\startCD\Disk1\rapidwiz\bin\checkutil.cmd C:\mksnt C:\VC98
C:\Stage11i\startCD\Disk1\rapidwiz>echo off
'which' command is not available. Check MKS installation.
ERRORCODE = 1 ERRORCODE_END
Error - System Utilities Availability test has returned an error: 1
=====================================
Some other posts in this newsgroup say that by installing MKS Toolkit this problem will go away. But MKS Toolkit is available for $500 or so for single user license.
Question 1. I don't want to do any development on this install. Can I ignore this warning? Will I be able to use the app?
Question 2. Is there any alternative to MKS Toolkit? Some folks said to use cygwin, but FAQ says that it was not supported.
Thank you.
R

Rahul,
It is possible to install the initial Oracle applications code and database for 11i.10 without the MKS Toolkit.
However, once you have the base install completed, you will probably want to install the Cumulative Update 1 (CU1) patch, or install other patches.
Without the MKS Toolkit (and Visual C++, and GNUMAKE) you will not be able to install any patches requiring a relink of application executables.
It would be theoretically possible to replace these tools with something like CYGWIN, but it will be A LOT of effort.

Reengineering Desktop Thick Workgroups into Web
Rich Enterprise Clients
Bryan Hall, Spatial Architect, L-3 Communications
Jeff Walawender, Senior Software Engineer, L-3 Communications
Cost cutting requires reengineering spatial solutions to directly address business requirements. But enterprise computing for spatial data has, with even "Web 2.0", required the user to lose the responsiveness and feedback that traditional desktop thick client GIS software has provided. We took a different approach in the re-engineering effort and concentrated on making it work as much like a traditional desktop thick client - while simplifying use, making editing more reliable, and actually speeding up rendering. All this, while only supporting one versioned Oracle Spatial database, and application tier for all users.

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,

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

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 for India - Local Chart of Account

Hi,
We have to implement Oracle Financials for India, I know that the calendar is from APR-MAR, but my question is: Is it needed to report the statutory books in a local Chart of Accounts or we can use our corporate ones based in US GAAP.
