Overview

The Financials OTBI Sample Report Kit contains sample reports created using Oracle Transactional
Business Intelligence (OTBI), covering Oracle Fusion Receivables and Payables. They illustrate ad hoc
analysis using Financials OTBI, and demonstrate various features of Oracle Business Intelligence
Enterprise Edition (OBIEE). OBIEE is the underlying reporting framework used to create ad hoc reports.
These sample reports demonstrate key features of OBIEE such as:

 Analyses that query data to provide answers to key business questions. Analyses can
present results in graphs and tabular formats. They can also be integrated into dashboards
or distributed via email alerts
 Filters and Prompts that allow users to create parameters to narrow search results
 Drilldowns to detail reports or other related content
 Dashboards are collections of content focused on specific functional topics. They may
include analyses, graphs, images, and text.

These sample reports can serve as templates for creating custom OTBI reports. We recommend the
following guidelines for creating OTBI ad hoc reports:
 For widely used reports, create dashboards instead of analyses. Dashboards have a number
of benefits over analyses. For example, unlike dashboards, analyses require that users exit
and re-enter a report to in order to re-run report with different parameters.
 Always create mandatory parameters to avoid blind queries against the transactional
system.
 Train a selected few IT or finance professionals to centrally create OTBI reports and share
with the user community. In Oracle’s experience, this is the most efficient model for
creating ad hoc reports.
 Avoid cross subject area reports, which can become complex to create and maintain
