Generally the file will be a compressed tar, so (as applmgr or whoever owns the financials s/w, in the $APPL_TOP/patch directory):

uncompress <file>
tar xvf <file>

That should create a directory named as the bug number with all the patch files and info. There should be a readme.txt in there, check that for specific instructions. Usually you run adpatch (as applmgr) and answer the questions. Most frequently the most critical question is for the name of the patch driver file which is usually patch.drv (which is the default). In many patches there will also be another .drv file for which you will need to run adpatch again AFTER running it for patch.drv. This should be explained in the readme.txt

Hope that helps :)
