Question 1
Q1A lead systems consultant is deploying Oracle CX Sales for an enterprise client undergoing a multi-year CRM consolidation. The customer requires historical opportunity and quota analysis covering the prior two fiscal years, alongside rolling forward projections for the next three years. When executing the Setup Assistant to initialize the accounting calendar, which duration and start-date configuration aligns with Oracle best practices?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Oracle recommends accepting the Setup Assistant default duration of 5 years and establishing the calendar start date at least 2 years prior to the current year. This approach ensures existing historical opportunities, closed pipelines, and quota baselines can be imported into valid accounting periods without generating orphaned calendar periods. Once generated, the calendar spans 5 consecutive years, providing two past years and three future years of valid period definitions.
