1 Module Objectives & Agenda


By the end of this module you should have an understanding of:

 OBIEE - Procurement & Spend - Custom Dashboard Reports


o Purchasing
 OBIEE – Financials - Custom Dashboard Reports
o Accounts Payable
o Accounts Receivable
o General Ledger

2 Overview of OBIEE
Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (simply referred to as OBIEE) provides a full range
of business intelligence capabilities that allow you to:

 Collect up-to-date data from your cost centre/programme/directorate/group


 Present the data in easy-to-understand formats (such as tables and graphs)

How OBIEE interacts with Oracle:

1. Transactions are entered onto Oracle 12 eBusiness database

2. The Extract Transform Load (ETL), updates the Data Warehouse with data from Oracle
overnight

3. Subject Areas are the data sets that are accessed via OBIEE from the data held in the
Warehouse

4. Data Warehouse then works out what information should fit into which subject area –
hence why it is an overnight process

Oracle 12 Finance Training Page 2


Reference Guide Version 2.0
SFM15 - OBIEE Dashboard Reporting

OBIEE has two different functionalities:

1. Dashboard

2. Answers/Analysis

Learning Note:
Your User Responsibility will determine whether you have Dashboard (read only)
access or the full access to Dashboard and Analysis (where you can write your own
reports).

The Dashboard allows you to view reports that are pre-programmed to meet the needs of your
business. The Dashboard is split in to 2 sections:

 Financials
 Procurement & Spend

Caution Note:
Which sections you can view in the live system will be determined by your User
Responsibility

Your User Responsibility also determines your data security settings.

For example BIS Users will only be able to view BIS data.
