Hi All,

Exporting Data for a single set of books from Oracle Financials

I have a multiorg set-up with multiple set of books in an Oracle instance. I want to be able to export data for a single set of books into a new Oracle instance.
Any insight into how this can be done (without going through each of the tables and referential integrity constraints) will be of great help
thanks
anoop

It is a bit unclear what you are sending these POs to the other system for? Is it for matching to invoices there? Is it for receiving into inventory there?
Are these two entities belong to the same parent but on two different oracle apps databases?
In essence what do they do with the PO that you are sending to them?
Why do you think there will be intercompany invoicing?
Thanks

Integration of Oracle Financials (OF) with Oracle Retail (OR)

Hi ,
We are currently doing a integration of Oracle Financials with Oracle Retail.
We have deployed BPEL processes for this. The Bpel process which transfers set of books from Oracle Financials is SendGLCCToRetek.
The problem is that the process is not transferring set of books id from Financials to Retail.
Any pointers on how what could be the reason. Is there any other BPEL process which should be deployed ?
Other deployed Bpel proceses are working as expected
Best regards,
brinda

The integration of set of books between Financials and Retail (through AIA) is not incorporated, it needs to be manually setup in Retail.
Ex: The Ledger ID's in EBS Financials or PSFT Financials, needs to be manually created as Set of Books in Retail (FIF_GL_SETUP table)

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.

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.

Want to learn oracle financials

Hi folks,
My background is in accounting. I have been working in oralce environment (pl/sql) for the past 1.5 yrs. I would like to learn oracle financials but do have the resources to pay for the class. However, if there is a way to learn by buying and learning from books or if I can download (for a minimal fee) can anyone let me know.
Regards,
Sri

Sri,
I recommend the book "Special Edition: Using Oracle Applications" from QUE Books, available from Amazon.com or other web-book sites. It will cost approximately US $50 +/-. It is a very good overview of each of the applications (Release 10.7 and 11), as well as lots of other information about projects, consulting and consultants, technical issues, etc. Good luck! - Pat

"Good" beginners book to Oracle DB administration

I am as new as it gets to Oracle and I need a good beginners book for database administration. During my searches online I have found mostly poor reviews on all the Oracle DBA beginners books I've found, including Oracles 10g for beginners own publication. The one book I've found that is highly supported, but not necessarily for the newborn, but a must have is "Oracle Database 10g Insider Solutions". I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good books for beginners, that are good books, and for beginners. Those seemed to be the two most common problems in all the reviews I read. The software I'm going to be using is Oracle 10g.

Please do not consider reading any other Oracle books before reading the Oracle documentation. Tom Kyte offers a good list here http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-mar/o26asktom.html. See the section "Where to begin". I also strongly advice reading his book Export Oracle Database Architecture for fundamentals, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590595300/sr=8-1/qid=1154697462/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-8631501-9759232?ie=UTF8.

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
