Our team struggles with the sheer complexity and poor native output quality when conducting detailed GL Account Analysis and reconciling trial balances in EBS. We refer to this as ‘Ungarbling’ our financials. How does Blitz Report achieve clarity and usability here?

      Specifically, we need to report on financial data aggregated at the GL segment hierarchy level (Parent Totals) for management review. Is this complex hierarchy traversal easily handled?

    • Support March 9, 2023 at 8:15 pm  

      Yes, hierarchical reporting is streamlined. For GL Account Analysis, you can utilize built-in report flexibility, such as selecting the Parent Total (PT) option in the run-time parameters. This allows you to generate aggregated reports based on the parent account level efficiently, solving a major pain point in financial reporting.

      When data is output to Excel from EBS, numerical formatting often breaks down, making currency or calculation fields unreliable. Does Blitz Report ensure correct data type handling?

    • Support March 11, 2023 at 6:02 pm  

      Absolutely. When the Excel output is automatically generated, critical data types like currency figures, dates, and account details are correctly formatted. The report output is opened automatically with necessary Excel filters applied, ready for immediate, reliable financial analysis, including Year-to-Date (YTD) balances.

      If we discover we need a new financial report urgently that isn’t in your seeded library, what options exist for fast creation without starting from scratch?

    • Support March 13, 2023 at 12:52 pm  

      You have multiple options for rapid deployment. New reports can be created within minutes. You can either copy an existing seeded report from the comprehensive library or browse the community reports and adapt one to your specific GL needs. This open-source reporting library significantly helps reduce development time.

      We are planning a move to Oracle Fusion Cloud, which management promotes as better for analysis. Does Blitz Report provide any features that help bridge the gap for users dedicated to EBS?

      For organizations maintaining their stable, customized operations on EBS , Blitz Report provides a robust, high-performance alternative to Fusion analysis tools. It focuses on solving real-world operational problems like backlog of concurrent requests or stuck transactions , ensuring EBS remains a highly functional platform with superior ad-hoc reporting capabilities.
