Basically, there is no development experience on Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and General Leisure. Only as far as I have studied about it, AP stands for Accounts Payable, AR stands for Account Receivable and GL stands for General Leisure. These are the key financial processes within an ERP. Accounts Payable stands for, its prime focus is on handling a company's outgoing payments and managing the vendor invoices. Its key area includes the invoice processing automation, vendor management, payment processing and expense report building to handle employee's reimbursement and expenses tackling. Account Receivable basically involves the managing incoming payments and customer accounts development. Basically, it includes the invoicing and billing, payment reconciliation and credit control of credit control in which developing features and we are monitoring the customer feedback of the accounts and collection management, implementing the workflows for managing collection and aging reports. General Leisure, we can say it is the backbone of an organization accounting system. It records all the financial transactions basically and provides the foundation of financial reporting. Its prime focus is on account design, general entries, automation, multi-currency and consolidation, financial reporting developed. So basically, AP, AR and GL often needs to be integrated with other modules such as procurement, sales and inventory. Here we can ensure to accurate and real-time data flow across the system.

E-Business Suite Oracle, basically it's Oracle EVS R12. We can say it is a comprehensive integrated business application used by organizations to manage the core business processes. My experience with Oracle EVS R12 spans various modules, customizations, and technical configuration. The overview I can say it's account payable, automating invoice captures, approvals, and payment processes, looking into the customer issues, and resolving their payment workflows, customizing payment methods for the banks, and integrating with some external banking systems, managing the suppliers, streaming their supplier setup and management workflows to ensure the smooth payment processing of them. In account receivable, invoicing, customizing and automating the invoices, creation of the customers, based on various transaction sources, as we can say sales and contracts, cash applications are there, here we can automate the process of applying customer payments to outstanding invoices with certain rules for different payment methods, collecting the dunning letter or processes, and improving the AR aging report, general ledger here as far as I've said it is the backbone of the organization, so customization of automatic general entry, generation from sub ledgers, multi-currency accounting is there, here we are handling the transactions in various different currencies, and reporting it in base functional currencies, financial reporting is there, designing custom financial reports using financial statement generator, P2P, we can say procure to pay and order to cash, procurement module integration is there, sales order integration is there, here we are working with order management workflows to ensure that sales are seamlessly into accounts receivable for billing and revenue recognition. Also, we for as far as customizations and extensions are included here, we can personalize the forms and customize it by modifying the Oracle forms to meet the business requirements without altering the base code of Oracle forms, developing the reports and designing it by customizing reports using Oracle reports, XML publisher and Oracle discoverer, workflows implementing or customizing the Oracle workflow for approval in financial and procurement process, concurrent programs are there, here we can create and schedule concurrent programs for batch processing, custom report generation and data uploads or downloads we can see. That's all.

So, as far as the question includes as I am lacking experience in development of APARGL EG integration projects and configuration of APAR. So basically my strategy includes first strategy is understanding the functional concepts what is APAR and GL process, EG integration projects, forms, personalization, stored procedures, DFF, customer reports. So start by understanding a solid understanding of the business process behind accounts payable, accounts receivable and general ledger. This is essential for both the integration and development or configuration. Accounts payable learning the full life cycle from vendor onboarding, purchase order, matching the workflows, approval of workflows and payment generation. Accounts receivable basically understanding the customer invoicing, payments, application, credit management and collection of process. General ledger familiarization of myself with various charts of accounts, general ledgers or journal entries, financial reporting and consolidation, P2P and OTC as far as it is concerned study the end to end requirement of procure to pay and order to cash cycles. To see how AP and AR fit into broader business projects there are various books learning at or online courses are there. Learning Oracle EBS fundamentals to provide extensive documentation for each module which covers both functional and technical aspects. There are Oracle courses to learning library by where we can I can add my experience learning various fields of AP, AR and custom reports migration. So start with AP move to AR then learn GL then hands on practice.

When updating an Oracle ERP system, to ensure smooth and secure updates, I apply a structural approach to identify the risk and mitigation. There are various techniques, you can say, risk assessment and impact analysis, in which main steps include identifying the critical modules, listing the various key Oracle modules that are impacted by the update as AP, AR, GL, procurement and etc. Access the change impact, analyze how we can analyze how the impact will affect the integration and customization workflows and the third-party tools are there, documenting whatever the known risks are there, we can review it later after the update cycle for any issues which have occurred after the update. Mitigation impact analysis can be conducted through the functional and technical impact analysis by involving the module owners, business users and the technical teams, documenting each of them, risk rating is there, we can assign the risk rating as high, medium, low based upon the business disruption or technical complexity. Effective techniques testing strategies identified, which can be the part of risk mitigation during Oracle ERP update, as such we can say regression testing is there, integration testing, custom code testing is there, user acceptance testing, which involves various end-users in testing scenarios that reflect the real business operations, helping in identifying the issues that may not be evident in technical testing, automation testing is there, various test environments are set up and back-out plan must be there.
