SEC’s Interactive Data filing program-
developing an implementation framework Jay Chandran, Senior Consultant, Solutions Partners, Inc. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has embarked on a major initiative to bring financials reporting to the internet age using XML based technology called XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language). US listed companies have historically filed their financials statements including notes, MD&A etc. in html or ASCII format via form 8-K, 10-K, 10-Q etc. The SEC is has been testing XBRL format and the underlying technology for over 2 years via a Voluntary Filing Program (VFP) Since the announcement of the SEC’s VFP several companies have used an early adopter's initiative to develop an efficient & increasingly well understood process to file their Q and K in XBRL format. This joint presentation by Solutions Partners, Inc. and SimpleX Data Technologies LLC, will give insight into developing a working framework for publishing financials in XBRL. The presentation will cover experiences gained from participating in the program with the use of a case study. The presentation will highlight the business process flow within an ERP system (such as Oracle e-Business Suite General Ledger and Web ADI) down to publishing of the statement for external reporting purpose. The presentation will also cover steps to establish the scope of content and timeline for filing with the SEC, the need for collaboration between various teams involved and will include a demo of the workflow process that matured for the actual tagging and submission process. |

Real Time General Ledger and Project Inquiry Phil Walton, Regional manager, The GL Company Month and Quarter ends are the busiest times in any accountant’s diary. There is continual pressure from the CFO to close the books and provide financial information to business managers. However, for financial information to be of value, it must be Relevant and Reliable, as well as Timely. With this in mind, The GL Company has developed a solution that assists accountants in ensuring the integrity of their financial information. The IT team also benefit from our approach as we significantly reduce the number of ad-hoc reporting requests submitted by the Finance team and provide IT with a SOX compliant administration console. This ensures the integrity of financial and project information used by accountants. Using our revolutionary Hyper Array technology, the application consolidates the transactional data in real time and provides pre-configured inquiry & reporting capabilities over this data. This negates the need for accountants to wait for GL and Project balances to be updated in Oracle. Our application provides Financial Reporting capability with drill down to subledgers and then through to project details. The configurable templates provide real time project consolidation by tasks with further drill down to expenditure and revenue details. Key measures; such as Raw Cost, Burdened Cost, Billed Revenue; that are required by Project Managers are provided to enable project profitability analysis. These measures can be displayed for key time periods such as ITD, YTD, PTD and can be contrasted against corresponding budget data. Attend this session to learn how the inquiry product allows accountants to retrieve ad-hoc financial information at the click of a mouse through the intuitive yet flexible interface; assisting in the analysis and auditing of the financial and project data in Oracle EBS. |

iExpense Approval Limits Automation at
Yahoo! Srikanth Thadakamalla, Sr Techincal Yahoo!, Yahoo! Sachin Jadhav, Sr Consultant, Ubex iExpense Approval automation feature adds the approval limits for missing supervisors in the AP iExpense Approval setup online when a requestor submits an Expense Report. This feature has reduced the support calls for iExpense by 30%. Earlier to get a stuck ER moving, the AP had to contact HR to get right combination for Cost Center and Supervisor information for the ER. This manual addition of supervisors and limits involved delays in the iExpense flow as the end-user had to wait till the AP iExpense Approval setup was updated and then the end-user had to re-submit the ER. The complete automation has taken out all the delays and frustrations out of the process. This feature extensively uses the Requisition Approval limits, this means, the business just has to maintain one approval limit per job grade! Automation of Requisition Approval limits and automation of iExpense Limits has virtually made these major approvals a zero maintenance systems! |

Periodic Consolidated Invoice Ron Pollard , CIO, Specialized Robert Hatter-Crawford, Senior Analyst, Specialized The client has some customers who need to be invoiced only two times a month although shipments happen on a daily basis. In addition, these invoices should not be in Oracle Consolidated Invoice format but in normal invoice format with each invoice showing all shipments during the previous fifteen days. The requirement also was that transactions with different payment terms should be grouped separately. Solution was implemented using the Imported Billing Number feature. A new custom program was developed that mimics the vanilla “Imported Billing Number” feature. The vanilla feature is normally implemented by AutoInvoice when the consolidated billing number column is populated in the RA interface table; a given consolidated billing number can only be associated with a group of invoices after the RA interface table is loaded but before AutoInvoice is run. The new program performs the same function as the vanilla program, but gathers qualified invoices from the TRX tables after they’ve already been imported via AutoInvoice, allowing many invoices generated on different days to be on one consolidated invoice. In addition to the above custom program, a custom Autoinvoice pre-processor program was developed and implemented to update Payment Terms so that an appropriate Proxima Payment Term can be assigned depending upon the timing of the transaction, whether it happens in the first or second half of the month with due dates being calculated based on the date of the Consolidated Invoice. |
