After enabling and configuring Financials, which of the following is a recommended post-configuration task?
Correct Answer: C
After enabling and configuring the Financials module in Oracle Planning 2024, post-configuration tasks are recommended to optimize its functionality and integration. The most relevant task among the options is:
* A. Plan headcount and detailed employee compensation by employee, job code, or both: Incorrect. This is a Workforce module task, not a post-configuration task for Financials, which focuses on revenue, expenses, and financial statements, not employee-level planning.
* B. Specify the days in Period and to modify account signage for alternate reporting methods: Incorrect.
While period setup occurs during initial configuration (e.g., Planning and Forecast Preparation), modifying account signage or days in periods is not a recommended post-configuration task-it's either part of initial setup or an ad-hoc adjustment.
* C. Map and rename custom dimensions in Financials that will be used to integrate with other modules:
Correct. Post-configuration, mapping and renaming custom dimensions (e.g., Department, Product) ensures seamless integration with other modules like Workforce or Projects. This task aligns dimensions across the application, a common best practice after enabling Financials.
* D. Disable features that you do not plan to use: Incorrect. Disabling features is not a typical post- configuration task; features are enabled/disabled during initial configuration via the Configure card, not as a follow-up step.
The Oracle documentation highlights mapping custom dimensions as a recommended post-configuration task to facilitate data integration and reporting, making C the correct answer.
