It starts with being able to do operational and standardized reporting within the JDE E1 framework. Over 3000 pre-built JDE E1 reports exist today. With support for Embedded BI Publisher in Tools 8.97 and support for Standalone BI Publisher coming in Tools 8.98, operational and standardized reporting capabilities increase dramatically by providing such things as the ability to not only generate pixel perfect reports but to more easily perform ad-hoc queries.
The JDE E1 Operational Consoles are the next step along the JDE E1 BI continuum. Built using JDE E1 Tools and Technology, the Operational Consoles run within the JDE E1 framework and are a great entry point into analytics. Two out of the box consoles are available today, the Financial Mgmt & Compliance Console and the Plant Manager Dashboard. Each consist of a set of pre-defined metrics which enable operational managers and users to gain timely insight into daily business operations in order to identify operational inefficiencies and predict potential business problems. While the Operational Consoles are extensible, if there is not a 70-80% fit with the pre-defined metrics and drill-paths then the next step along the continuum would be to consider Oracle’s Enterprise Performance Management System which is based on the industry-leading OBI EE Plus platform.
Within Oracle’s EPM System, based on the needs along the BI Continuum, there are the Oracle BI Applications, Hyperion’s Performance Management Applications, and finally Oracle Predictive Modeling Tools (tools not applications) for advanced what-if analysis and Predictive Analytics.
I’m please to be able to tell you today that in order to enable JDE E1 customers to more easily leverage the Oracle BI applications, we are planning to build an JDE E1 Adapter that will allow JDE E1 to be used as an OLTP data source for the Oracle BI applications.

4. JDE Reporting Strategy
Enable E1 & World customers the tools and mechanisms necessary to Extract, Transform, Publish, Distribute data without requiring dependence on third party applications.
At the same time to provide E1 & World (via JDBC adaptor) customers the services and mechanisms necessary to facilitate use of third party applications should they choose to use them.
To deliver this capability across the spectrum of reporting needs from batch processing through business intelligence and analytics

5. Oracle BI Publisher – What and Why
BI Publisher formerly called XML Publisher
BI Publisher is an Oracle Fusion Application
Design / maintenance of report layouts is simpler
Layout templates are designed in MS Word
Users can design & preview the reports themselves
using sample data from E1 and World
BI Publisher can be called from RDA/UBE, World Writer, Dream Writer, World Export
E1 and World’s database could be accessed from BI Publisher
JDBC driver for E1 and World

6. Design reports using E1 & World data
Many customers today have very strong business requirements in the reporting area around World. These include:
High Fidelity Reports:
These reports are rich in images, charts, multiple fonts and color are a very desirable feature for reports when they are to be distributed in and outside the company.
Partner Reports
These include Invoices, Purchase Orders and Checks, which require ‘rich’ content and are currently highly customized.
Financial Statements
Financial statements need to be presented to shareholders and upper management in a high fidelity format; your accounts would rather see them in Microsoft Excel.
Government Forms
Many government agencies now demand that you interact with them in a specific format e.g. tax forms.
Marketing Materials
The marketing materials generated by companies require rich personalized content.
Contracts
Interacting with your customers and suppliers often requires written contracts that need to be presented in a high fidelity format.
Checks
The checks you send to employees and suppliers require a specific format and even ink so that their banks are able to process them.
Labels
Any company generating product will need to label it often including a barcode.
XML
B2B interaction requires XML as the format and this may require a transformation of one xml format to another.
Of course all of these documents then need to be delivered to a report consumer be that via , fax or printer.
Electronic File Transfer (EFT) and (EDI) are formats used to communicate with your banks and partners.

Customers are not tied to these applications, BI Publisher has a W3C XSLFO implementation at its heart and there are many visual XSLFO editors available that can generate templates for use with BI Publisher.

Extract Once – Publish Multiple Times
BI Publisher has the ability to publish multiple times using the same data source. For instance, a company can generate its payment data in a single data extraction program. From that they can generate:
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to communicate to banks to make payments to suppliers
Excel – Accountants and controllers are able to get the payment data into Excel for further analysis
HTML – Payment data can be published to a company portal via HTML
PDF – Government reporting requires the PDF format for communication
XML – for B2B communication XML is fast becoming the de-facto standard
With the use of different layout templates BI Publisher simplifies the reporting architecture for customers.
