You are a preparer with the User role and you are going on vacation. How can you assign responsibility for reconciliations currently open with you to the backup preparer?

When a preparer needs to hand off reconciliations they currently own (open with them), they use the Request Reassignment action from the Actions menu. This sends a reassignment request that transfers responsibility for the selected reconciliations to another user (the backup preparer). This is the workflow-driven mechanism for a preparer to reassign responsibility for reconciliations that are actively assigned to them, which is exactly the vacation-coverage scenario described.

A. The Backup Preparer field is configured by administrators/power users in profiles/formats, not by the preparer within an individual reconciliation's Workflow tab as a self-service handoff.
B. Oracle Account Reconciliation does not use an "Out of Office" status in User Preferences to transfer reconciliation ownership.
D. "Release" applies to claimed/locked items or shared workflow claiming; it does not reassign responsibility to a specific backup preparer.

Chapter "Managing Reconciliations

" section "Reassigning Preparers or Reviewers / Requesting Reassignment" (Oracle Documentation

part number applicable to current release; Actions menu → Request Reassignment).

2. Oracle Fusion Cloud EPM — Using Account Reconciliation (Reconciliation Compliance)

section "Performing Actions on Reconciliations" — describes Actions menu options available to preparers including Request Reassignment.

3. Oracle Fusion Cloud EPM — Administering Account Reconciliation

section "Creating Profiles" / "Assigning Preparers and Reviewers" — describes Backup Preparer assignment as an administrative/profile-level configuration (relevant to why A is incorrect).

Verification note: I want to be transparent — I could not retrieve the exact current page/section numbers from Oracle's official documentation to cite with the precision your format requires

and I should not fabricate specific page numbers or DOIs. The answer (C

Request Reassignment) reflects the documented Oracle Account Reconciliation workflow behavior

but I recommend confirming against the live Administering Account Reconciliation guide on Oracle Help Center (docs.oracle.com) for your specific release before relying on it for exam preparation.
