This document discusses eSheets, a product from Such Finance Systems that allows standard Oracle EBusiness Suite financial reports to be opened in Microsoft Excel. eSheets unlocks the potential of Oracle's standard reports by allowing users to sort, analyze, and drill down into data in Excel. It provides Excel outputs for commonly used Oracle EBS financial reports across modules like general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and fixed assets. The reports are designed to speed up business processes and reduce the need for expensive custom reporting.
1. We have more than 40 years of experience in using, implementing, and supporting Global Oracle EBusiness Suite
solutions across Europe, North America, and Asia/Australasia.
Such Finance Systems was born out of the frustration with the limitations of Oracle Standard Reporting. The desire
was to unlock the potential of these reports using the power of Microsoft Excel but without compromising the data
integrity provided by Oracle.
Instead of creating expensive 3rd party reporting, we strongly believe that enhancing existing reports can be more
powerful, and provide a more cost effective solution. Basing the output on Oracle Standard Reports, means that
unlike other 3rd party solutions, the data is supported by Oracle themselves.
eSheets allows Standard Oracle EBS Financial reports to be opened in Microsoft Excel. Oracle
end-users can then use the power of Excel to enhance productivity and perform complex data
analysis tasks which have not previously been possible.

Oracle EBS includes a full suite of standard reporting across all modules.
These reports can produce large output files which are usually presented in
.txt, .rtf, or .pdf output. The problem with these types of output is that they
do not allow users to quickly sort, analyse, or drill down on data. It is also
difficult to integrate the results with other MI reporting.
eSheets uses the existing standard reports for generating the data and
produces the results in Excel. Some reports show multiple layers of data
depending on the complexity of the data being presented. The Excel output
splits different layers over multiple tabs allowing end users to easily
analyse the level they require. Reports are published with columns of
varying widths to fit the data being displayed and cells are pre-formatted
depending on the data being presented (numbers/text) meaning that the user
does not have to perform any additional formatting prior to them being
used. All worksheets have the report headers frozen making it easy to scroll
through and filter the data.
The reports produced cover the most commonly used and useful reports
across the Core Oracle EBS Financials Modules. They have been selected
to enable the client to speed up business processes
(reconciliation/audit/queries) straight out of the box. The list of standard
reports where the output is available in Excel is continually expanding and
clients are invited to suggest additional EBS reports which have not yet
been included in the eSheets portfolio.
