Oracle Financials Cloud: Accounts Payable 2017 Implementation Essentials — Question 53

What is the difference between subject areas that append the word "Real Time" and those that do not?

Answer options

• A. The "Real Time" subject areas are based on real-time transactions and those that are not, are based on historical data.
• B. The "Real Time" subject areas are based on real-time transactions in the applications, and those that are not, are based on data stored in the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications data warehouse.
• C. There is no difference.
• D. The "Real Time" subject areas are based on subledger transactions and the ones that are not are based on general ledger balances.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because 'Real Time' subject areas utilize real-time transactions from applications, while the others rely on data from the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications data warehouse. Option A is inaccurate as it suggests a focus solely on historical data without mentioning the specific data source. Options C and D do not correctly define the distinctions based on the context of real-time versus stored data.
