Product Description

From Amazon

Oracle Financials play a big role in the information infrastructures of many companies, and a solid understanding of that environment can pay very large dividends in consulting work. Oracle Certified Professional Financial Applications Consultant Exam Guide readies you for the four exams (two core and two elective) that make up the Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) Financial Applications Consultant track. The book tackles the exams one at a time, explaining what you need to know--conceptually as well as in terms of software details--about the Oracle Financials environment. The exercises help drive information into your long-term memory, and each chapter is peppered with review questions that help prepare you for what's on the exams.

This is more than a test-prep book, though, and you'll likely be happy with it even if you have no plans to pursue a formal Oracle certification. The large and complicated concepts that underlie Oracle Financials are explained, a difficult job the book does well. It's also careful to maintain a focus on business objectives rather than on characteristics of the software itself. In one section, the process of creating a blanket purchase order, properly accounting for the purchases that are made against it, and then releasing individual purchase authorisations under the order's terms, is explained. The index is extensive and detailed, so it's pretty easy to find the documentation you need. --David Wall, Amazon.com

Topics covered: The Oracle Financials suite of applications, with a bit of bias toward the four Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) Financial Applications Consultant tests. The details of the material that's on the Financial Management, Applied Technology, Procurement, and Order Fulfilment exams all appear here, which means you can use this as a general-purpose Oracle Financials reference, not just as a study helper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to Financials, Jun 22 2001

Ann Yang (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oracle Certified Professional Financial Applications Consultant Exam Guide (Book/CD-ROM package) (Hardcover)

Though the Financials OCP exam is being retired, the Financials package itself remains unchanged. This book is still the best introduction to how to use Oracle Financials.

This review is from: Oracle Certified Professional Financial Applications Consultant Exam Guide (Book/CD-ROM package) (Hardcover)

The exam this book relates to retires in about 2 weeks from now and Oracle Corporation has not given an indication of what will succeed this exam.

How relevant is the book if I can't use it for the specified exams?
