Oracle Fusion Technical Interview Question

 

(1) How to create Fusion BI-Publisher reports?

Oracle has already delivered a lot of BIP Reports in the Fusion Instance, However during a course of implementation it is a common requirement to develop new ones, There are few common steps involved they are :

  • Step1: Create a SQL Query which comprises of DB Tables ( that exist in Fusion Schema).
  • Step2: Under Published Reporting -> Data Model, Create a New Data Set (of SQL Query type)
  • Step3: Give a Name to Data Set (for this example say PersonAssignment_ds)
  • step4: You would need to take special care while selecting Data Source (Logic Below): If you are Building Finance reports use : ApplicationDB_FSCM, If you are Building HCM reports use : ApplicationDB_HCM, If you are Building CRM Reports use : ApplicationDB_CRM
  • Step5: Depending on the number of Parameters( Bind Variables) used a Popup window will appear, Give a Name to the Parameters.
  • Step6: At last will save the report, click on data-report and see the output.

(2) How to create Oracle Fusion OTBI Reports?

Following are the steps to build OTBI Reports

  • Step1-> Login To Fusion Applications with a User login
  • Step2> Click on the Navigator icon and then select ‘Reports and Analytics under Tools option.
  • Step3> Click on the BI catalog icon (an open book) on top left hand side.
  • Step4> Choose New Analysis from the drop-down list and then select an appropriate Subject Area (Workforce Management – Worker Assignment Real Time, for example).
  • Step5> Now we would select one folder from left-hand side, inside table folder will find tables respective columns, will drag and drop required column to the dashboard to create the OTBI report.

(3) How To Upload Customers Through Spread Sheet in Oracle Fusion?

Following are the steps to upload customers data in Fusion

  • Step1: Navigate to the Manage Customer Upload page, Navigator > Receivables > Billing
  • Step2: From Tasks List: Customer > Upload Customers from Spreadsheet
  • Step3: Manage Customer Uploads Page appears, click on ‘Download Customers Spreadsheet Template’
  • Step4: Enter the Customer Information in the Template.
  • Step5: The spreadsheet template is composed of four worksheets: Customers, Contacts, Reference Accounts and Customer Bank Accounts, where you can enter related data.
  • Step6: Generate the CSV Zip File, Once the data maintained in the Excel Template.
  • Step7: In ‘Manage Customer Uploads’ Page, click on ‘Upload Customers From Spread Sheet’, upload the zip file.
  • Step8: Upload Customer form Spreadsheet From Spreadsheet dialog window, enter a Batch Name for identification purposes.Use the Browse button to locate your Zip file.click Submit
  • Step9: Monitor progress of the Batch ID in the Search Results region of the page.
  • Step10: Review the Customer Records created, Navigator > Receivables > Billing From Tasks List: Customer > Manage Customers

(4) How safe is Cloud data?

Companies don’t need to think about the same issue and that is because cloud is a secure solution. It comes with several benefits and users do not need to worry about the protection. This is because users are able to enforce specific security constraints on their files, such as login with a user-name and password, data encryption, etc. There are nevertheless certain aspects that companies need to pay heed to before contemplating any cloud service.

(5) How will one in the Cloud use the API?

Usually speaking, designing the full fledged applications is something that wasts a lot of time. The API guarantees that the same requirement is removed to a reasonable degree. You can apply to interact with each other via the instructions given by the API. Cloud can also be conveniently attached to other devices outside of the network.

(6) Name the rising strata in a cloud architecture?

These are:

  • Walrus
  • Storage
  • Cloud Controller
  • Node Controller
  • Storage Controller

(7) How distinct are private cloud and group computing infrastructure?

Private cloud is basically an alternative that may provide multiple divisions and units for the single organizations. Organizations are allowed to enable their cloud to work with third party businesses. In other terms, they should outsource their cloud activities to other companies if they follow any of the protection requirements that they identify. Private cloud can be housed in a distant data centre.
On the other hand, different organizations find the collective cloud technology in a cooperative way. All the duties relevant to handling the same are entirely their own liability. The group cloud network can also be housed in an conveniently available distributed data center.

(8) What is OTBI Report?

OTBI is the Oracle Fusion monitoring method, which is used to generate oracle cloud files. OTBI is the most user-friendly method used in oracle fusion, where we can use drag and drop options to create the files. It does not need the skills of SQL and the awareness of Fusion tables to create the report. It is the really useful method for separating the data from the framework used in Oracle Fusion.

(9) What is FR Studio in Oracle Fusion?

Financial Reporting Studio is a customer-based financial management platform used to build Oracle Fusion’s financial reports. This is just like Oracle Applications FSG files. This FR lab is focusing on the balances in GL. It Uses drag-and-drop features to build a grid to organize the financial report rows, columns and sections. It Includes grids and other items that may be replicated through several reports. FR Studio Uses the proportions of the GL Balances Cube on any axes, columns, sections, or perspectives (POV).

(10) What is BIP Report?

BIP is the analysis platform for Business Intelligence Publisher and is used to produce the Oracle Cloud Complex reports. It is especially used to produce the statuary reports where we need to create the different templates. This is a technological resource that still includes the SQL experience and the cloud application’s technological awareness.

(11) What is My Folder and Shared Folder in Fusion Reports?

The ‘My Folders‘ tab is your own. That ensures it’s exclusive to any person. Once you make a report in this tab, no one in the company should be allowed to read and view these files as they are encrypted and produced in the My tab. And this is your professional creation completely.

Shared Folders is the Through Software Directory. This implies the framework is shared by users according to the roles. Shared directories have several Work-related and Module-related subfolders.

(12) How is Oracle Fusion Scheduling Process?

Schedule Method in Oracle Fusion is similar to Concurrent Requests in Oracle r12 applications. Within Oracle Fusion we manage the ESS jobs as Schedule Processes. ESS job is the same as Concurrent Program in Oracle Apps r12. ESS job is the principle of Oracle Fusion with the aid of this, we will operate our Oracle Fusion applications Reports, Packages and Scripts. We’ll first know what the ESS job is in Oracle Fusion and then the description of the Oracle ESS job. ESS jobs in fusion applications are the same as those in Oracle apps r12 for Concurrent Program. As we use the concurrent program to operate the Oracle Applications Data, Procedures and Scripts in the same way we use ESS workers to operate BIP files, Procedures and Scripts.

We register reports, scripts in fusion apps as ESS jobs and the user runs such ESS jobs as Oracle Fusion’s Scheduled Processes much like Concurrent Requests in Oracle R12 apps. For order to build the ESS jobs, we first need to establish the Oracle ESS job definition and then we will run the BIP reports, procedures and scripts for Fusion Schedules Processes via ESS jobs.

(13) How many Types of Roles Available in Oracle Fusion?

Oracle has provided these four Types of roles.

  • Abstract role
  • Job roles
  • Duty roles
  • Data roles

(14) What Is ESS job in Oracle Fusion?

The ESS job in Oracle apps is the same as the concurrent program. When we have to run the BIP reports in the Fusion Program otherwise we have to log these reports in Oracle Fusion as an ESS task. So we will operate this report as a schedule process in the Fusion as well as the parallel request in the Oracle applications.

(15) What is BPM in Oracle Fusion?

BPM requires the management of corporate operations. BPM is a comprehensive collection of software at Oracle Fusion to develop, implement and automate business processes. Throughout BPM, we can build the approval processes. In Oracle fusion we can build the company approval processes with BPM’s Support. This is an Advanced Resource available for developing and sustaining acceptance rules as per business needs in Oracle fusion

ASSET

Asset Addition

The process of adding a Fixed Asset either through detailed, quick or mass addition is called asset addition. Detail and quick addition are carried out only in Oracle Assets.


The journal entry in Oracle Assets during detailed or quick addition is

Dr. Asset Cost

Cr. Asset clearing account


Asset clearing account is used to reconcile the transactions between Oracle Payables and Oracle Assets. When an asset is added through detailed or quick additions, the credit goes to the asset clearing account.


Also for mass addition process, oracle assets use Asset Clearing account for reconciliation.


In Oracle Assets the journal entry remains the same


Dr. Asset Cost 

Cr. Asset clearing account

In AP

Dr Asset Clearing Account

Cr Accounts Payables

Changes:

Changes refer to change in Asset Cost or Depreciation method or Depreciation rate for one or more assets. Oracle Assets would use the new cost or depreciation method or rate from the period of change to arrive at the depreciation amount. Also it recalculates the depreciation that should have been calculated so far, compares with the actual depreciation and passes an adjusting entry.

If the transaction results in addition to the cost of asset, then the journal entry created is

Dr. Asset Cost

Cr. Asset Clearing

Hence an adjusting entry to incorporate depreciation as per the new cost of the asset should be incorporated. Also due to change in method or rate the new depreciation calculated may be lower or greater than the depreciation calculated so far.

If the accumulated depreciation recalculated is lower than the accumulated depreciation calculated until now,

Dr. Accumulated Depreciation

Cr. Depreciation Expense (Adjustment)

If it is greater than the Accumulated depreciation until now,

Dr. Depreciation Expense (Adjustment)

CR. Accumulated Depreciation

Transfer

Transfers refer to change in Location, expense account, and employee assignment. If there is a change in expense account, for e.g. If an asset is transferred from department 001 to department 002,The journal entry for accounting the asset cost is

Dr. Asset Cost (002)

Cr. Asset Cost (001)

The journal entry for accounting the accumulated depreciation is

Dr. Accumulated Depreciation (001)

Cr. Accumulated Depreciation (002)

Revaluation

Revaluation is a process so as to reflect current market price of the Asset.

The journal entry created by revaluing a fixed asset is as follows:

Revalue Accumulated Depreciation is enabled at the Book Controls level:

The amount of revaluation would be credited to Accumulated Depreciation and Revaluation reserve in the same proportion as the existing Accumulates Depreciation and Net Book value.

Dr. Asset Cost Cr. Accumulated Depreciation 

Cr. Revaluation Reserve

Revalue Accumulated Depreciation is disabled at the Book Controls level:

To the extend of the revaluation amount, the following journal entry would be passed.

Dr. Asset Cost 

Cr. Revaluation Reserve 

Also, the existing depreciation reserve would also be transferred to the Revaluation Reserve

Dr. Accumulated Depreciation 

Cr. Revaluation Reserve

Oracle Assets passes the following journal entry for retirement. If the retirement transaction resulted in a Gain, the journal entry passed would be.

Dr. Accumulated Depreciation

Dr. Proceeds of sale

Cr. Asset Cost

Cr. Gain / Loss

If the retirement transaction resulted in a Loss, the journal entry passed would be.

Dr. Accumulated Depreciation

Dr. Proceeds of sale

Dr. Gain / Loss

Cr. Asset Cost

Depreciation:

Running depreciation (as applicable to a particular asset) during the period end would pass a journal entry

Dr. Depreciation Expense 

Cr. Accumulated Depreciation
