Time saving
Pay your accountants to give you the information
you thirst for, not to create a ‘stand-alone’ reporting
system. Most organisations pay their accountants to
copy and paste poorly formatted reports (i.e. the
standard Oracle format) into Excel so they can make
use of them.
We can show you how to convert all your reports so
as to open directly into Excel.
John uses the account analysis report frequently at month end.
It used to take him twenty minutes at each run just to get it into
an Excel tabular format.
Stephanie used to spend two hours each day around month end
producing a ‘journal-lines’ report for extracting into Excel. Even
then she didn’t get all the details she wanted.
John and Stephanie now produce Excel spreadsheets directly
from Oracle.

It will take minutes to show you how you can update
the logos and any other standard information in
minutes with BIP. For more frequently changing
information we’ll show you how to implement sub-
templates so that you can change standing
information once only to populate into all your
templates.
We were quoted £2,000 for a developer to change the telephone
number on the remittance advice (using Oracle Reports 6i).
Sandy wanted it changed because when she left payables and
John took over she got sick of suppliers calling her on her old
number and having to transfer it.
We implemented a template for remittance advices in under an
hour. John has put his name and telephone number on the
remittance advice and even his signature. John now makes any
changes to the format himself.
