Foreword I have known Mohan Iyer for many years, first professionally and now personally. Mohan is a tireless advocate for the development of best practices and for making the Oracle E-Business Suite world a better place. He is one of those guys who digs into issues and understands it both technically and functionally before making a recommendation to a client. Mohan is also a great asset to the user community through Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG), NorCal Users Group, and other forums. This book is the culmination of many, many years of Mohan's experience and research. Readers of this book will be blessed with great insight and comprehensive analysis of the functionality and best practices related to Oracle's R12 E-Business Suite release. I am pleased to be able to recommend this book. This book focuses primarily on issues related to functionality.
