AP & AR and maybe ...?

apx01.dbf and ard01.dbf are AP and AR. Some hints ... GL is gleneral ledger, BOM is bill of materials and INV is inventory. The range of functionality is incredibly large. And this was not a complete install.

You are correct. Oracle Financials is not a trivial piece of software.
