 BROAD AREA OF INTERNSHIP

Oracle BI Publisher is an enterprise reporting tool that allows businesses

to generate and distribute a wide range of reports and documents. One of

the many types of reports that can be generated using Oracle BI Publisher

is a vendor ledger report. A vendor ledger report is a financial report that

provides a detailed summary of all transactions between the company and

its vendors. The report typically includes information such as vendor

name, invoice number, invoice date, amount due, amount paid, and

outstanding balance. In summary, Oracle BI Publisher can be used to

generate vendor ledger reports by extracting data from a data source,

creating a report design, mapping the data to the report template, and

previewing and distributing the report to the appropriate stakeholders. My

part in this internship is to involve working in the team with other

consultants and/or directly with clients to understand their needs, gather

data, and develop insights and recommendations.

 CHAPTER 1

BROAD AREA OF INTERNSHIP

1.1Introduction

First, the relevant data needs to be extracted from the source system(s) and
transformed into a format that can be used by Oracle BI Publisher. In the case of
vendor ledger reports, the relevant data would typically come from the
organization's accounting system, such as Oracle Financials.

Once the data is extracted and transformed, it needs to be modeled in Oracle BI

Publisher. This involves defining the data structure, creating data models, and
mapping the data to the appropriate fields in the report template.

After the data is modeled, the report template needs to be designed. This
involves creating a layout for the report, adding any necessary data fields, and
configuring any required calculations or aggregations.

Once the report template is designed, the report can be generated by running the
report program in Oracle BI Publisher. The report data is extracted from the
source system(s), transformed, and merged with the report template to create the
final report output.
In the case of vendor ledger reports specifically, the report template would
typically include fields for vendor name, invoice date, invoice number,
invoice amount, payment date, payment amount, and any outstanding
balances. The report could be generated for a specific vendor or for all
vendors in the system, depending on the reporting requirements.

 CHAPTER 2

TOOLS ADOPTED IN INDUSTRY

2.1 Tools

The most important software used in the process of generating the vendor ledger
is Oracle BI Publisher. This software uses an Oracle server to fetch the data
from the required databases and tables using SQL query. This is known as data
model. Further, the data model is presented using various layouts and we can
obtain the output in desired format.

2.4 SQL Queries

SQL is a powerful and flexible language that can be used for a wide range of
tasks, from simple data retrieval to complex data manipulation and analysis.
SQL is used to create, modify, and query the database, and can be used for a
wide range of tasks. In Oracle BI Publisher, SQL Queries are used to retrieve
data from a table, filter the data, sort the data, join different tables from various
databases etc. A data model is a collection of SQL queries that are used to
retrieve data from one or more data sources. A data model can be created in BI
Publisher using the Data Model Editor, and SQL queries can be added to the
data model to retrieve data from Oracle Database. Once a data model has been
created, it can be used as the data source for a report. SQL queries can be used
in the report layout to retrieve and display data from the data model.

 CHAPTER 3

SYSTEM MODEL DESCRIPTION

3.1 Requirements Specified by the Industry

Vendor ledger reports are an important component of financial reporting

and management for businesses that engage with multiple vendors. These
reports provide a detailed record of transactions and outstanding balances
with individual vendors over a specific period of time. There is a crucial
need for businesses to track payments made to vendors and monitor
outstanding balances, provide a comprehensive view of transactions with
each vendor, including invoices issued, payments received, and any
remaining amounts owed and help businesses ensure timely payment to
vendors, avoid duplicate payments, and effectively manage cash flow.
Vendor ledger reports are necessary for maintaining accurate financial
records, managing vendor relationships, complying with regulations, and
making informed financial decisions. They provide transparency, improve
financial control, and support effective vendor management practices.

3.2 Hardware/Software Specifications

Software: Open-source software: Oracle BI Publisher, Java, Notepad++

3.4 Objectives of the Study

The objective of generating a vendor ledger report using Oracle Fusion BI

Publisher is to obtain a comprehensive and detailed overview of vendor
transactions and balances for a specific period of time. The report provides
valuable information about the financial relationship between the organization
and its vendors, allowing for effective vendor management and financial
analysis.

13
 3.5 Realistic Constraints

The accuracy and availability of vendor data within the Oracle Fusion database
can be a constraint. If the data is incomplete, inconsistent, or not properly
integrated, it can affect the accuracy and completeness of the vendor ledger
report. Data quality issues, such as duplicate or missing records, may need to be
addressed before generating the report.

Oracle Fusion BI Publisher must adhere to data security policies and access
controls defined within the Oracle Fusion system. Access permissions and
restrictions may limit the data that can be included in the vendor ledger report,
particularly if sensitive or confidential vendor information is involved.

Large volumes of vendor data can impact report performance and

responsiveness. Generating a vendor ledger report for a significant number of
vendors or for a long duration may result in slower execution times or even
system timeouts.

These constraints may require careful planning, collaboration with stakeholders,

and technical expertise to overcome.

 CHAPTER 4

IMPLEMENTATION

4.1 Creating Data Model

Open the Report Editor by selecting the "Create" button and choosing the "Data
Model" option. In the Data Model editor, you will see the available data source
options. Select the appropriate data source for your report. You can choose from
options such as SQL Query, Web Service, or XML File. Select the SQL Query
option and enter your SQL query directly into the editor. Ensure that the query
retrieves the required data for your report.

Figure 4.1: SQL Query to fetch the required fields

15
You can also use parameters to make your query dynamic and allow users to
provide input values.

Figure 4.2: Parameters

After defining the datasets and mapping the data fields, you can save the data model.

Figure 4.3: Dataset Editor

15
 Figure 4.4: Table view of created data model

Once the data model is saved, you can use it in your reports by selecting it as the
data source while creating or editing reports in Oracle Fusion BI Publisher. The
data model serves as the foundation for retrieving and organizing data in your
reports, so it's essential to accurately define and configure it to meet your
reporting requirements.

4.2 Creating Layout

Open the Report Editor by selecting the "Create" button and choosing the
"Layout" option. There are two methods to create a layout. The first one is the
“Wizard” method, in which the Oracle Fusion Guides us and generates a Layout
automatically.

15
 Figure 4.5: Wizard Method

The next method is the manual method, where there are lot of options to
customize the structure of the layout manually. A template will be automatically
generated, if we select “Generate” option in manual method, and it will generate
a layout based on the records that are present in the data model. This “Generate”
option can be used only if the data model is selected.

Figure 4.6: Manual Method

15
Save the layout once you are satisfied with the design. You can provide a name
for the layout and save it within the appropriate report folder or directory.

 5.3 Conclusion
In conclusion, Oracle Fusion BI Publisher provides a robust platform for
generating vendor ledger reports. By leveraging the features and capabilities of
BI Publisher, organizations can efficiently create accurate and insightful vendor
ledger reports that contribute to effective financial management. The process
involves creating a data model to retrieve vendor data from the Oracle Fusion
database and designing a layout to present the data in a clear and visually
appealing format. However, there are realistic constraints to consider, such as
data availability and integration, data security and access controls, report design
and customization limitations, data volume and performance considerations,
integration with external systems, reporting requirements and business rules, and
user interface and accessibility requirements. Overcoming these constraints
requires careful planning, collaboration with stakeholders, and technical
expertise. Once the vendor ledger report is generated, it offers valuable insights
into vendor transactions, balances, and payment history, enabling organizations
to track expenses, analyze vendor performance, and make informed financial
decisions. By leveraging Oracle Fusion BI Publisher, organizations can
streamline their vendor management processes, enhance financial transparency,
and optimize their overall financial operations.
