From being a user to an implementer, an executive to a clerk, I am a firm believer in utilizing business systems to achieve the wealth of information required to run businesses today. The systems that support corporations today are not the columnar ledgers of our ancestors. They are robust and provide in-depth insight into an organization—that is if you can figure out what they do and how to do it. As a user of Oracle E-Business Suite, I was often frustrated by the lack of information surrounding specific functionality or fields. I have spent hours or, in a few cases, years, acquiring the information I needed to incorporate a specific functionality into my company's processes so we could improve not only the information but also the timeframe the information was available in. The intent of this book is not to gloss over what a Ledger is or the new features Subledger Accounting provides; it is to give detailed insight into how to set up and process transactions in E-Business Suite to meet your company's specific business needs. During the processing steps, references back to setups are made so you know where options exist for processing to meet your specific needs. While functional users at all levels were my main focus when writing the book, support analysts and programmers will also greatly benefit from it. The setups are usually done by consultants, who then walk out the door with all the knowledge, and this book will assist in delivering some of that knowledge back to the company itself and just may prevent a customization or two for a functionality that already exists, just begging to be found and used.
This book, while designed to be read from cover to cover, is also self-inclusive for each section, allowing the reader to go directly to a particular section and not be referenced back to other areas for more information. For Oracle or industry-specific terms, a glossary at the back is included for rapid access. Besides being a step-by-step and field-by-field how-to guide, this book includes many business considerations to think about during an implementation, upgrade, and beyond. |
