General Ledger Foundation Accelerated Rel 8.9

 Oracle University provides a downloadable eKit containing the training materials for this course.

What you will learn:

This course teaches the fundamental concepts and features of PeopleSoft General Ledger. Students gain working knowledge of the issues involved in a standard General Ledger implementation. They learn how to implement General Ledger, as well as establish, process and report on financial transactions.

Through real-life examples and hands-on lab activities, participants establish their own GL business units and follow their unit through the implementation and processing of data. They establish common setup options, enter and post journals to their own ledgers, close year-end books, and create financial reports with PS/nVision. Students will work with the Consolidations functionality, which is used to automatically eliminate inter-company or inter-entity transactions for consolidated reporting. Students will also work with the Allocations functionality, which is used to distribute monetary or statistical amounts across business units, departments, products, or any other fields defined in PeopleSoft applications.

Learn to:

• Establish GL business units
• Establish common setup options
• Enter and post journals to ledgers
• Close year-end books
• Create financial reports with PS/nVision
