Overview and Modification

What is eText?
eText Overview

An eText template is an RTF-based template that is used to generate text output for Electronic Funds
Transfer (EFT) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transactions.

20 Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates

What is eText?
Structure of eText Templates

• Templates are comprised of a series of tables.

• Each record is represented by a table.
• A table can contain jus commands or it can contain commands and data fields.
• Table containing just commands are called setup tables.
• Setup tables can contain global commands that address special handling such as sequencing (ex:
sorting).
• Table containing commands and data fields are called data tables.
• The rows in the data table represent the elements.
• Various formatting conditions can be applied both at the table as well as the row level using
commands.
• Order of the tables in the template determines the print order of the records

What is RTF An RTF template is an RTF-based template that is
RTF Overview used to generate PDF output for checks and reports.

35 Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates

What is RTF?
Structure of RTF Templates

• Rich Text Format (RTF) is a specification used by common word processing.

• BI Publisher converts RTF files to XSL-FO to enable the creation of reports using many standard
word processor features.
• XSL-FO is part of XSL, which we will cover in more detail in the next section.
• RTF allows use of simplified tags for XSL expressions to associate the report data to the report layout
and include other processing instructions.
• In addition to the word processor’s formatting features BIP supports other advanced reporting such
as conditional formatting, dynamic data columns, running totals and charts.

Business Example 2 – Print Different
Signature Based on a Condition

Scenario:
• Here we are just showing that you can
set a condition.
• If for, example the check amount is
under $10,000 the red Oracle logo
would print as the check signature.
• The second condition could be if the
amount is equal to or over $10,000 then
both the Red Oracle logo and the black
Cloud logo would both print as the
signature. So basically 2 signatures for
checks over $10,000.

 XSL/XML
Overview and Modifying

41 Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates

What is XSL?
XSL Overview

An XSL template is used for making ISO electronic transmission files such as the SEPA and CGI
electronic payment files.

42 Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates

What is XSL?
Structure of XSL Template

• The general idea behind XSL-FO's use is that the user writes a document, not in XSL, but in an XML
format.
• BI Publisher converts the disbursement extract using the XSL template and generates the XML
format.
• Users can then update the XML Format and make any needed changes required by their bank.
• Once these changes are made, the files can be uploaded back into Custom (folder) > Financials
(folder) > Payments (folder).

43 Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates
