The best overview of Oracle Financials - By: R. W. Grace, 31 Jan 2002 
I read this book about 6 months into an Oracle Financials assignment - I could have done with it at the start. A very good overview of Oracle Financials - not much point in reading it after that - certainly isn't a 'Handbook' as such.
Good overview and highlights on certain topics - By: , 21 Jul 1999 I think that it is great that books on Oracle Applications are being published as there are not many out there.
I bought this one & have passed it onto colleagues who are new to Applications. Looking forward to reading & using the one from Que in Sept/Oct.
Books such as this compliment the Oracle manuals, user groups & various web sites/ newsgroups that are out there focusing on Oracle Applications.
As support would tell you "your issue is not a bug but a consultancy/ implmentation issue". The more information available from consultants who have or do work with Apps the wealthier the Apps community.
Good book with wrong name - By: , 21 Jun 1999 
If this book is callled "Oracle Financials Overview" it would be an excelent one. But there is no way in hell this is a "handbook" because there is nothing inside to make you use this book more than once. It is good just to give you an overview (but good one indeed). And what "planning & implementation" (from the book title) are you talking about? Again, this is an Overview & nothing else!
Not for the Technical - By: , 07 Jun 1999 
A good book for those who want to know WHAT the financials suite of applications are for, but not for those who need to delve into the intricacies of installlation or day-to-day management aspects.
Excellent Introduction - By: , 28 May 1999 
For those critics of you out there who think that this book was not this or not that, especiallly the reader from Port Arthur in Tasmania, I suggest you buy an Oracle Reference Manual or Users guide. Get real! This book gives a great introduction to the core Oracle Applications & I believe it was well done. It introduces the business & Functional side to Oracle Financials. For those pretentious readers who can't spell Oracle read the cover "Oracle Financials Handbook" - "Planning & Implementing the Oracle Financial Applications Suite" No where does it say Technical Reference Manual. I'd like to see these half baked consultants write ANYTHING half as good. Well done David & Graham. If anyone cares to discuss this work email me & we'll "CHAT"
