Oracle Cloud ERP study plan

Map the end-to-end Oracle Cloud ERP business process landscape (procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, acquire-to-retire) and label where each process starts and ends

Define the core enterprise structures (legal entity, business unit, ledger, operating unit) and explain how they constrain transactions

Build a personal glossary of at least 40 Oracle Cloud ERP terms with one-sentence definitions

Walk through the Financials module overview: General Ledger, Payables, Receivables, Assets, Cash Management

Trace a purchase requisition through approval, purchase order, receipt, invoice match, and payment, naming the module and key setup that governs each step

Distinguish the three-way match options and identify which configuration controls tolerance behavior

Explain how subledger accounting rules transform Payables transactions into General Ledger journal entries

Compare invoice approval workflows and describe how holds and payment terms affect disbursement timing

Trace order-to-cash from order capture through fulfillment, invoicing, receipt application, and collections

Describe the accounting entries generated at each order-to-cash milestone and where revenue recognition timing is set

Explain credit management, dunning, and dispute handling as configuration-driven processes

Identify shared setup (customers, payment terms, tax) reused across Receivables and Order Management

Explain the accounting cycle from subledger close through journal import, revaluation, translation, consolidation, and period close

Describe the chart of accounts structure, segment qualifiers, and how value sets and hierarchies are used

Distinguish allocations, revaluations, and intercompany balancing and state what triggers each

Outline the Financial Reporting Studio and Smart View reporting path for producing a trial balance and income statement

Walk through asset lifecycle: addition, adjustment, depreciation, transfer, revaluation, retirement, and accounting

Explain depreciation methods, prorate conventions, and how asset books and ledgers interact

Describe cash management: bank account setup, statement reconciliation, and cash positioning

Connect fixed assets and cash transactions back to General Ledger postings

Explain the project-to-close cycle: project setup, budgeting, cost collection, billing, and revenue

Describe how expenses, supplier invoices, and labor costs flow into projects and then to the ledger

Distinguish expenditure types, burdening, and billing methods at a conceptual level

Locate the approval and security touchpoints (roles, data access, workflow) that span all covered processes

Rehearse scenario-based questions that require choosing the correct module or process step for a described business event

Diagnose common process failures (period not open, hold on invoice, unmatched receipt) and name the resolution path

Consolidate all prior notes into a single condensed review sheet organized by process rather than by module

Time-box practice sets and log accuracy by process area to expose weak spots

Close the three weakest process areas identified in week 7 by re-teaching each in writing

Run two full timed mock exams under test conditions and compare results

Recite from memory the accounting impact of each major transaction type across all processes

Finalize a one-page pre-exam cheat sheet limited to structures, process triggers, and accounting entries
