It has been over a month since training courses take 2. Today I had my examination for F100 Hands-On Financials (V4.0) and I passed! It took me a while to get through the exercises again because of family vacation and Summer house projects. Hopefully I'll be able to tackle the next exam, F110 Advanced General Ledger (V3.0), in less time. … [Read more...]
Finally Done Importing
I finally finished the data migration portion of the F100 Hands-On Financials (V4.0) course. Data migration is my least favorite portion of any implementation because: I think it's boring It always takes much longer than you think it will It took me a few late nights to finally get through this.

When you import AP and AR open bills/invoices, the system automatically … [Read more...]

Here are a few things that stood out to me: Payment Lead Time - This is an AP feature that allows you to define the average number of days that a payment takes to reach a vendor. I assume that the Aging report … [Read more...]
First Training Course – F100 Hands-On Financials (V4.0)
I will be starting with the F100 Hands-On Financials (V4.0) course. Tonight I downloaded the material needed to complete the course. I will go through the 157 page .pdf file and setup a company from scratch. I like the from scratch approach. In the past I have worked with demo data when learning an ERP product, but it was hard to pay attention since the data was already created for me. I'm hoping that building a company from scratch will help me to stay more engaged during the learning … [Read more...]
