To include asset-related expenses such as depreciation, amortization, and insurance in Financials reporting within Oracle Planning 2024 Implementation, integration between the Capital and Financials modules is required. The correct setup involves enabling integration from the Capital module to share expense data with Financials.
* A. In Capital, for Expense, enable Integration with Financials: This option activates the integration feature in the Capital module under the Expense section, allowing asset-related expenses (e.g., depreciation, amortization, insurance) to be automatically pushed to Financials. Once enabled, Capital maps these expenses to the appropriate Financials accounts, ensuring seamless reporting. This is the standard method outlined in Oracle documentation for sharing Capital data with Financials.
* B. In Financials, on the Enable page, in Map/Rename Dimensions, add a custom dimension called Assets: Adding a custom dimension in Financials is not the correct approach for integrating Capital expenses. Custom dimensions are for extending dimensionality, not for enabling data sharing between modules.
* C. In Capital, on the Configure page, select Map Capital Accounts and map capital accounts to the corresponding account in Financials: While account mapping is part of the integration process, it is a subsequent step that occurs after enabling integration. The primary action is enabling the integration itself, not just mapping accounts.
* D. In Financials, in the Asset Expenses Wizard, map each component to a Financials account:
There is no "Asset Expenses Wizard" in Financials for this purpose. The integration is driven from Capital, not through a wizard in Financials.

In Oracle Planning 2024, configuring and post-configuring the Financials module involves tasks to establish its structure and functionality. The three valid configuration or post-configuration tasks are:
* A. Adding custom expense driver categories: Incorrect. While Financials supports driver-based planning (e.g., revenue drivers), adding custom expense driver categories is not a standard configuration task-it's more of a customization within forms or rules, not a core setup step.
* B. Adding custom dimensions: Correct. Adding custom dimensions (e.g., Region, Product) is a key configuration task in Financials to tailor the module to business needs, often done during or shortly after initial setup.
* C. Completing Planning and Forecast Preparation: Correct. This mandatory configuration task defines the planning periods, scenarios, and versions for Financials, setting the foundation for budgeting and forecasting.
* D. Setting up exchange rates (for multicurrency applications): Correct. For multicurrency-enabled Financials applications, configuring exchange rates is a critical task during or post-configuration to support currency conversion in financial planning.
* E. Removing custom dimensions: Incorrect. Removing dimensions is not a standard configuration or post-configuration task-it's a rare adjustment that could disrupt existing data and is not recommended as part of setup.
The Oracle documentation identifies B, C, and D as essential tasks during or after Financials configuration, ensuring the module meets planning and reporting requirements.
