Purpose
This tutorial covers the fundamental features of XML Publisher, also known as Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher (BI Publisher), in an Oracle E-Business Suite environment. You learn how to create templates and reports as well as how to publish your reports.
Overview
XML Publisher, which is also called Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher (BI Publisher), is a template-based reporting tool that leverages standard technologies for data extraction and display. Business users can build the layout and rules for the report themselves by using common desktop tools. Development engineers can concentrate on extracting data in the most efficient manner. Deployment time is faster. Also, business users with minimal training can design templates and reports based on the data sources provided by engineers, thus greatly reducing the cost of ownership.
Scenario
This tutorial describes how to create a layout template for the Receivables Customer Balance Letter (ARXCOBLX). You create a letter that shows the outstanding balance for a customer. This letter contains a table of all unpaid or partially paid invoices. You will then deploy the template to the Template Manager, run the report, and generate an output.
