Product Review
Deploying Oracle applications in any organization is an enormous task, and
Oracle Financials Handbook should be considered prerequisite reading for any technical or business process specialist involved in such a project. The applications provide core business processes based on Oracle Corporation's database architecture, and the book discusses some of the most popular applications in the suite.
The book opens with a brief executive summary of Oracle Financials. The authors place financial applications in perspective, explaining where they fit into the overall Oracle Applications strategy and what the benefits are of choosing them for core business processes. This section also presents some of the important organizational choices you must make at the outset of deployment.
In the middle section of the book, the authors discuss the modules: general ledger, receivables, payables, asset management, purchasing, inventory, order entry, and others. The General Ledger section forms the core of the strategy and is discussed in great detail. The book provides plenty of flow diagrams to explain each module. The authors devote an additional chapter to budgeting and allocations, and address different accounting models.
Oracle Financials Handbook closes with technical details on deploying Oracle Financials in an enterprise. The entire computing environment is considered in this discussion, which includes information on customizing and modifying the modules to meet your needs. The final chapters cover project management and training issues that you need to work through.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Oracle Financials Handbook (Oracle Press Series) (Paperback)
Did someone call it a Handbook? What the book offers is less than a bird's eye-view of Oracle Financials. To be fair to the authors, it is unfair to expect much in a single book on such a complex package like Oracle Financials. However, many important features of Oracle Financials are omitted and at the same time, repeated presentation of the same information, possibly on the same page, irritates you several times. Many graphics are confusing, even to a reader familiar with the topic. Despite being the only source of published information about the subject, the book disappoints you irrespective of your knowledge level of Oracle Financials.
