How to create a Delivery in Full On Time metric in Oracle E-Business Suite using Blitz Report™

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 11 replies

We need to implement a critical Order Management metric: Delivery in Full On Time (DIFOT). We struggle to derive this KPI using standard tools. What is the process using Blitz Report to create a Delivery in Full On Time metric in Oracle E-Business Suite?

    Creating the DIFOT metric involves understanding your promised date and order date types as the first step. You should start by copying a seeded Order Header and Lines Blitz Report to leverage existing joins and then modifying the copied report.

  • Once the report is copied, what steps are needed to focus the output specifically on the DIFOT KPI?

  • Support Enginatics

    First, modify the Blitz Report copy and give it a meaningful name, such as ‘ONT DIFOT’. Second, revise the underlying query to incorporate the logic for DIFOT calculation, and test the revised SQL. Third, modify the user template to show only the specific columns required for the DIFOT metric, improving readability and focus.

  • We are concerned about changes to the original promise date, as this affects the integrity of the DIFOT calculation. Can we track who modified the promise date fields?

  • Support Enginatics

    Yes. If your system tracks changes to the promise date (assuming the necessary audit setup parameters are configured), you can review the Audit capability using Blitz Report. This allows you to track master data changes accurately, providing governance over the source data used for the KPI calculation.

  • If we define this DIFOT report, can we ensure that the development process itself is fully compliant with internal change control procedures?

  • Support Enginatics

    Blitz Report facilitates internal change control. It automatically records the necessary change control information whenever applicable during the report modification process, maintaining an audit trail and version history within EBS.

  • How can we quickly test the new DIFOT report once finalized?

  • Support Enginatics

    After adding your new calculated columns to the user template, you can make the report available immediately for testing. Furthermore, reports can be assigned to a specific user or responsibility for immediate testing and validation before general rollout.

  • Can this DIFOT report be exported in a format ready for pivot table analysis for deep dive performance reviews?

  • Support Enginatics

    Yes, since the output is perfectly formatted, native Excel , the data is immediately usable for advanced analysis tools like pivot tables, suitable even for financial performance reviews.
