What is Oracle Subledger Accounting?
Oracle Subledger Accounting (SLA) is an intermediate layer that sits between Oracle subledgers and the General Ledger. It captures accounting events from transactions and applies custom rules to generate consistent, auditable journal entries. SLA is used by finance professionals responsible for financial reporting, compliance and audit preparation, as well as Oracle system administrators and functional implementers who configure and maintain financial systems. It's especially valuable in organisations using Oracle Payables, Receivables, Assets or other subledgers, where traceable, rules-based accounting is essential.
What can I do after completing this course?
You’ll be able to confidently manage accounting configuration and transactions in Oracle R12 Financials. This supports roles in finance operations, system support, or Oracle functional consultancy. The skills gained provide a strong foundation for more advanced training. Many learners go on to attend Oracle R12 Essentials for Implementers to deepen their understanding of setup and configuration, or Oracle R12 System Administration to build broader capability across the platform. These follow-on courses help support career progression into senior finance systems roles or implementation-focused positions.
What’s included in the training session and will I receive Oracle R12 Financials Certification?
