Sales Operations BBB Requirement
Some enterprises, like discrete manufacturers, require booking, backlog, and billing (BBB) reporting beyond what Oracle E-Business Suite provides. Does yours?
These enterprises must have accurate, timely, and consistent BBB reporting to make quarterly operational decisions, so they can improve sales, margins, fulfillment, customer service, and revenue reporting activities. They need the right summary data plus rapid access to supporting details.
Order Management Subledger
BBBi fills this gap. It provides reporting that captures the history of sales order changes that impact revenue. BBBi gives you real time net bookings and backlog figures to drive business decisions. Daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly.
BBBi transforms the complex relational data in Oracle EBS into meaningful business information. Use any reporting and analysis tool to access BBBi’s ready-to-use, Sales Order database views.
See ProView for BBB Intelligence for out-of-the-box interactive reporting and additional productivity capabilities.
With BBBi, your Order Management module will become a reportable sub ledger.
