  • Worked on the Oracle EBS R12 interface to connect various downstream systems, including Kronos, Looker, data warehouse, FloQast, Gappify, and Hyperion, as well as upstream systems like Taleo.
  • Development of OAF pages from scratch; for example, we created the Philippines Payslip page from scratch, enabling self-service capabilities for 25,000 users. We also provided self-service capabilities for the Certificate of Employment and implemented and customized various OAF CO and VO extensions.
  • Worked on upgrading our system from R12.1.3 to R12.2.12.

  • Executed rollouts for various countries, including Malaysia, Honduras, and Egypt, on financial modules (GL, AP, AR, I-expense, I-procurement, Cash Management, Fixed Assets).
  • Customized the AR SLA rules by adding additional SLA lines and selecting different accounts based on the journal line description.
  • Performed performance tuning on concurrent programs and reports using the explain plan, and employed advanced collection (BULK COLLECT) to improve performance at the PL/SQL level by minimizing context switching.

  • Developed several alerts within the system to notify relevant parties about database password rotations and to inform them of contractor end dates, ensuring effective terminations on the agreed date and preventing overbilling.
  • We have focused on enhancing an organization's data security, particularly through a credit card encryption project, where we tested all end-to-end scenarios. On the database side, we ensured that all passwords were rotated in accordance with SOX audit requirements. We collaborated with the DBA to enable PII level 1 auditing at the database level, established individual database accounts instead of relying on a common account for improved security and tracking, and eliminated public database links, creating only private database links.

  • Involved in project prioritization based on resource alignment. The factors involved in project prioritization include return on investment, legal or audit requirements, dependencies on other projects, and any other X factors. As we grow in a fast-paced and budget-controlled environment, it is crucial to select projects that align with organizational focus based on specific parameters and allocate our limited resources to the prioritized projects.

Accomplishments

  • Upgraded the Oracle application system from R12.1.3 to R12.2.12.
  • Recently, we encountered an issue with the Philippine pay slip after upgrading from 12.1.3 to 12.2.12. Users are seeing crisscross data, displaying information from other payslips. We have identified the root cause and redesigned the entire Philippine pay slip in the custom top, adding additional security features, including a toggle button. The issue is resolved, which has saved the company from potential legal and financial implications.
  • Successfully implemented financial rollouts in Malaysia, Egypt, and Honduras.
