File Based Data Import

File Based Data Import (FBDI) is another option for getting information into your Fusion ERP Applications. The process of using FBDI is quite simple: download an excel template that identifies all of the fields, populate the spreadsheet with data from the external system, save the file as a .csv file type, upload the file to the server, and run processes to transfer the data to the interface tables and import into the various applications. All of the data is validated during import to insure its integrity.

The following table identifies the FBDI options available in Fusion Financials Cloud Service:

Supplier Invoices Mass Additions of Fixed Assets Intercompany Transactions

Customer Invoices Mass Retirements of Fixed Assets Journals

Customer Receipts Mass Transfers of Fixed Assets Segment Values and Hierarchies

Customers Mass Fixed Asset Financial Transactions Budget Balances

Bank Statements Asset Units of Production Supplier Bank Accounts

Reporting ToolsFusion ERP Cloud Service uses four primary reporting tools which can be used to extract data from Fusion Applications and import into your external systems.

BI Publisher delivers high volume transactional reports, such as Invoice Registers or Trial Balance reports, that can be configured to extract the data in Rich Text Format or XML. Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence for Financials provides the ability to build custom queries on transactional data, and the output can be downloaded to Excel.

Financial Reporting Center enables reporting based on multi-dimensional general ledger balances and hierarchies. Live reports that are based on real-time data can be analyzed and viewed in multiple output formats, such as HTML, PDF, Excel and other MS Office products.

Smart View is an Excel plug-in that allows your financial users to perform ad hoc multi-dimensional analysis on general ledger balances in real-time.

All of these reporting tools provide broad access to data in the cloud for integration with external systems.

Following Reports are available out-of-the-box in Fusion Financials and can be exported in excel format to feed the data to other systems More than 300 Reports are available from various modules such as Payables, Receivables, Cash Management, Fixed Assets and General Ledger etc. Below are some of the key reports
