• Question 4:

  Which attribute does NOT need to be considered when creating intercompany transaction?

  A. Legal Entity

  B. Receivables and Payables Business Units

  C. Default Organization contact

  D. Default Transaction Type

  Correct Answer: C

  Note: An intercompany transaction is a transaction between two entities with common ownership.

  The accounting for intercompany transactions is recorded separate from standard transactions in Oracle Fusion Receivables.

  Receivables determines a transaction to be an intercompany transaction based on the first party (legal entity) and third party (bill-to customer) relationship defined in the intercompany accounting setup. When a transaction is marked as

  intercompany, the intercompany receivables account is

  used for accounting instead of the standard receivables account derived from AutoAccounting.

  This applies to transactions both created manually and imported using AutoInvoice.

• Question 5:

  A company has the second and third balancing segment enabled for its chart of accounts, and the journal is balanced by the primary balancing segment but is out of balance by the second and third balancing segment. This is an example of .

  A. Chart Account Balancing Rule

  B. Balancing Segment Rule

  C. Chart of Account Rule

  D. Segment qualifier

  Correct Answer: D

  Example:

  Ledger balancing options are defined for the ledger to balance the second balancing segment and/or the third balancing segment, when a transaction is unbalanced by one of these segments.

  Simple ledger balancing option with no clearing company options

  In this scenario the enterprise has the second balancing segment and the third balancing segment enabled for its chart of accounts.

  Setup

  InFusion USA Chart of Accounts

  

  Note: You can define intercompany balancing rules at the following rule levels:

  1.Primary balancing segment 2.Legal entity 3.Ledger 4.Chart of accounts The rules are evaluated in the order shown above. For example, you can define a Primary Balancing Segment rule and a Legal Entity level rule. If both rules are used to balance a particular journal, the Primary Balancing Segment rule is used, as it has a higher precedence.

  You have flexibility in defining your intercompany balancing rules. You can have a simple setup in which you define one rule for your chart of accounts. This rule is used for all intercompany balancing for all ledgers that use this chart of accounts. Alternatively, you can have a more granular set of rules. For example, you can define a different rule for each legal entity and onechart of accounts rule to cover any gaps in your rule definitions. You can gain even more granularity by defining rules for specific journal and/or category combinations or intercompany transaction types.

• Question 6:

  Which accounting attribute group will capture a customer's accounting invoice and the cash applied to that invoice?

  A. Distribution identifiers

  B. Business Flow

  C. Tax attribute

  D. System Transaction identifiers

  Correct Answer: D

  System transaction identifiers provide a link between an accounting event and its associated transaction or document. An identifier is the primary key of the underlying subledger transaction, usually the name of the surrogate key column on

  the transaction (header) associated with the accounting event. At least one system transaction identifier must be defined for the accounting event class.

  When an accounting event is captured, system transaction identifiers, along with other required event data, are validated for completeness.

  Use event entities to tie subledger transaction entities with their accounting representation. The Financial Services Accounting Hub uses event entities to maintain the system transaction identifiers that uniquely identify the subledger

  transactions associated with the accounting events.

• Question 7:

  Choose the three interfaces that integrate with SmartView to view, import, manipulate, distribute and share data.

  A. Microsoft Excel

  B. Microsoft Access

  C. Microsoft Word

  D. Microsoft PowerPoint

  E. Microsoft Notes

  Correct Answer: ACD

  Using Smart View, you can view, import, manipulate, distribute and share data in Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook and PowerPoint interfaces.

• Question 8:

  Which is an example of embedded intelligence in the Fusion General Accounting Dashboard?

  A. moving the cursor over projected balances displays the impact a journal will have on accounts

  B. running a trial balance report to reconcile books

  C. getting more detail on a balance by clicking the Show More button

  D. setting notification thresholds in the Account Monitor view

  Correct Answer: A

  Embedded intelligence provides immediate actionable insight. This feature gives you access to information or data to help you complete your transactions. In some instances, embedded intelligence can offer suggestions or recommendations. In other instances, it can offer predictive intelligence. Embedded intelligence appears on the same page as your transaction, enabling you to always remain in the context of your task, and eliminates the need to query or run reports.

  Note: You're ready to take action to resolve the balance issue by modifying the suspect journal line. This edit can be accomplished inline. So how do you know what impact your edit will have on the account balance? This is where embedded intelligence comes in to play.

• Question 9:

  How can you restrict access to dashboards, dashboard pages, and other presentation catalog objects?

  A. Use membership controls to limit user access.

  B. Assign object security to predefined groups.

  C. Create a custom dashboard In Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE).

  D. Use the security filter.

  Correct Answer: A

  Permissions and privileges can be assigned to users directly or through membership in application roles or Catalog groups. From another perspective, permissions and privileges can be assigned explicitly or effectively. Effective permissions and privileges are assigned indirectly through inheritance from application roles or Catalog groups, which is the recommended approach for assignments.

• Question 10:

  What are two reasons for using scorecards?

  A. KPIs are represented hierarchically

  B. an objective and its supporting child objectives

  C. Dimension Pinnings

  D. Assessment Mappings

  E. Gauges

  Correct Answer: AB

  Use Oracle Scorecard and Strategy Management to:

  *

  Simultaneously define the objectives (that is, goals such as Decreased Operational Costs) and initiatives (that is, processes or tasks such as Form Cost Minimization Team) that form your strategy to which you assign KPIs to measure

  progress and performance.

  *

  Align objectives and initiatives with customized or traditional perspectives (fundamental business competencies and areas such as finance or customer relations). This later enables you to depict the extent to which corporate strategy

  supports these perspectives.

  *Define target numeric ranges to evaluate the values of KPIs within corporate or department-level objectives and initiatives.

  *

  Graphically communicate strategy and strategic dynamics using strategy maps, cause and effect maps, custom views, and strategy trees.

  *

  Discuss the implementation and status of objectives and initiatives by adding, reading, and replying to comments.

  Note: Oracle Scorecard and Strategy Management is a performance management tool that lets you describe and communicate your business strategy. You can drive and assess your corporate strategy and performance from the top of your organization down, or from the bottom up.

  Oracle Scorecard and Strategy Management also enables you to either align your objectives and initiatives with traditional balanced scorecard perspectives, or to create your own to reflect your fundamental business competencies.
