Oracle Exam 1Z0-1080-24 Topic 2 Question 5 Discussion

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.
