Lightning Fast ASCP Horizontal Plan Export: Leveraging Blitz Report for PWB Data Extraction

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 6 replies

Our planners struggle immensely with the performance limitations of the Planner Workbench (PWB) when trying to extract large volumes of data for analysis. The standard export process, especially for the ASCP Horizontal Plan, often leads to long ‘hour-glass waits’ or client crashes, making prompt analysis impossible. We require a method for high-speed, multi-organization data delivery directly into a correctly formatted Excel spreadsheet. Can Blitz Report significantly enhance our PWB data export efficiency?

    This pain point, often associated with the PWB, is precisely why Blitz Report delivers its full suite of planning reports directly through the concurrent manager, bypassing slow Oracle form exports. Our Horizontal Plan (HP) report offers multi-item and multi-org capability, providing planners with all necessary planning data in a single, usable Excel file delivered in seconds.

    The quality of the default CSV files from PWB requires extensive reformatting of data types and column widths. Does Blitz Report solve that structural issue as well?

  • Support Enginatics

    Absolutely. Blitz Report delivers directly to Excel with the correct data type and size formatting applied automatically, eliminating the tedious reformatting required when dealing with badly formatted CSV output. This is achieved by avoiding the slow BI Publisher XML processing layer entirely.

    Is it complex to make these powerful reports accessible directly within the Planner Workbench interface?

  • Support Enginatics

    It is straightforward to integrate reports into EBS forms using Forms Personalization. This allows the planner to launch the Blitz Report directly from the Actions menu within the PWB, enabling immediate Excel export without navigating away from the planning environment.

    The underlying SQL for these high-performance planning reports is maintained with full version control within EBS, simplifying IT change control and management.
