What I like best about Oracle is that the reports needed for my job are easy to find and not scattered all over the place. Which is Amazing!

I dislike to login process. I feel like there is a lot that you must type in in order to login in. I get it, it’s a security mesuare, but really?!

Have the right person train you or you may be lost for a second. But it is easy to learn.

I am able to find all of the financial reports for every restaurant employee at my job. I’m able to see everything that was rang in via our Micros system and run that report to document it.

Among some of the advantages include;

i. Oracle EBS Financials is easy to use and implement.

ii. Offers a wide range of accounting features.

iii. It has an excellent reporting features

iv. After the data input, the data and the report can easily be exported in different formats.

Drawbacks of using oracle is that it does not allow data customization. Data have to be enhanced before it is fed in Oracle EBS Financials.

First of all this is very expensive product to compare with other ERPs. Secondly user licensing also been every expensive. for features wise, installation to configuration is too much complex. This need at-least four to five high configuration servers may require which may increase overall budget. Additionally, integration is too much complex as they didn't provide APIs to integrate only providing interfaces which need more codding every time.

In new version we have 8 different module like Fixed Asset, Cash Management, General Ledger, Account Payable , Accounts Receivable and new modules like Order Management, Purchases and Inventory. So for this we have increase user list which hurt a lot as user licence is much expense of it. Secondly its only be running on Firefox , not very much supported on crown and internet explorer. Further, you have to configure Java applets on client machine which may be the issue as it gets slow many times

This is comprehensive ERP, so much and AS IS and To be document as this is not customize, preferably vanilla implementations. If you go for customize then you may not control . Additionally, you have complete user list , exact scenarios which you have to map and especially complete chart of accounts as this is the basic of this ERP

Before this we were doing every thing manually and you know booking keeping is very much difficult to maintain manually. so this give us clear picture and complete visibility of company growth which was missing initially.

This program is so helpful because it allows you to perform many financial functions all in one platform.

I disliked that sometimes the program would freeze up.

Practice and extensive training should be given to those that are new to the program. This program is capable of a lot of functionalities, but takes time and practice to be able to optimally use this program within any workplace.

Journal entries, efficiency with my work.
