Regards
Vanaja

There doesnt seem to be much diferences in terms of functionality or features. If you check the release notes..there are a few differences in the 7963 release related to bugs or packaging:
If this is helpful or correct, please mark the response as correct or helpful.
Here are some of the sections from the release notes:
Section 1.3.28, "Currency Conversion Not Done in Purchase Agreement for Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics"
*1.3.32 'Days Payables Outstanding' and 'AP Turnover' Columns Are Missing*This issue applies to only those Oracle BI Applications customers who have implemented Procurement and Spend Analytics without implementing Financial Analytics.
*1.3.43 Oracle EBS 12.1.3 - Contract Lifecycle Management Impact on Oracle BI Applications Release 7.9.6.3*This issue applies to only those Oracle BI Applications customers who have implemented Procurement and Spend Analytics for E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.3 along with Feature Pack for Oracle Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) for Public Sector. CLM Feature Pack is deployed as an add-on to Oracle EBS 12.1.3 for delivering an integrated acquisition management solution for federal government procurement.
CLM functionality has introduced changes to the Oracle EBS data model that affects data extraction and loading for Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics. Customers with Oracle EBS 12.1.3 and the CLM feature pack must apply additional filters to exclude CLM records and to ensure that it does not interfere with V7.9.6.3 Procurement and Spend Analytics functionality.
Workaround
No work-around is available for this issue.
*1.3.56 EXPENSE_INVOICE_POSTED_DT Not Pulled From AP_CHECKS_ALL.CHECK_DATE for Oracle E-Business Suite*This issue affects Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics. The measure 'Expense Reimbursement Cycle Time' as shipped with this release does not work in the subject area Employee Expenses – Overview. The measure uses the column EXPENSE_INVOICE_POSTED_DT_WID in the fact table W_EXPENSE_F fact, but this column is sourced from AP_EXPENSE_REPORT_HEADERS_ALL.EXPENSE_LAST_STATUS_DATE during ETL.
Workaround
This issue is addressed by Oracle E-Business Suite patch 10038359.

  • Csv files for OBIA procurement and spend analytics

    hi,
    which csv files we need to configure in order to install OBIA 7.9.6.3 procurement and spend analytic for EBS R12 1 3 as source?
    In documentation, oracle given set of files for 11i & R12? do we need to configure csv files for both version ???
    As per documentation,counter files for , CSV files req for source as 11i are not there in R12???
    please guide???

    Hi,
    To be safe, configure all of the domain value files documented in the section http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20490_01/bia.7963/e19039/configsupplychain.htm#CACIEBBH
    Do this regardless of whether they state 11i or R12 in the filename. Some of the files have not changed from 11i adapters, so the filenames have not been updated e.g. domainValues_Employee_Expense_Type_ora11i.csv

  • Issue with OOTB Procurement and Spend report on top of W_AP_INV_DIST_F

    We are implementing OBIEE 11g on top of EBS R12. Observed today that AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBURIONS_ALL has a lot of records with PO_DISTRIBUTION_ID as NULL (This is expected as this table holds not only PO but also Expense tyoe invoices). The mapping used to populate W_AP_INV_DIST_F (SDE_ORA_APInvoiceDistributionFact) uses the PO_Distribution_ID to derive Product_ID. Thus, in W_AP_INV_DIST_F a lot of lines exist with PRODUCT_WID of NULL (which is also understable).
    My question is - In Procurement and Spend OOTB reports (for ex - Spend by Top Categories) , it is showing all records from W_AP_INV_DIST (and not filtering to Spend_Type of "PO Matched"). Thus, most of the records is going into the "Unspecified" bucket.
    Any thoughts on why the OOTB report would work like that (This is affecting any OOTB report that is built on top of W_AP_INV_DIST_F and involves products or product categories)?

    Out of curiosity, why do you only maintain 13 months of history in PeopleSoft? I have never heard of this. Dont the business users want to track PeopleSoft before 13 months? With regard to your question, given you are only able to load 13 months on a full load and this is impacting the links to the correct suppliers, you can consider keeping a refresh date on the tasks that load the W_SUPPLIER_D tables. This can prevent reload for the supplier dimension. However, I am not sure how you intend to handle the other dimensions as I assume you will have the same issue. If you only have 13 months of history, BI Apps will only load 13 months of history on a full load. Also for the SCD dimensions, there should be a CURRENT_FLAG that is set to Y only for the current record and there should still be a link to the previous records where CURRENT_FLG = N. As long as your SCD is working fine, and you can prevent the reload of supplier dimension via the refresh date changes, it may work. I would advise your PeopleSoft team to maintain history..esp if they want to take advantage of Analytics and trend analysis.

  • Procurment and spend analysis

    Hi,
    Wat are dashbords required for Procurment and spend analysis only?
    Thanx

    If you want to see the out of box dashboards and reports for Procurement and Spend, then you can look at Product Guide, it lists all the dashboards and sample reports. However product guide is not available via Metalink3 or oracle site, you can try requesting it via your account representative for Oracle.

  • Difference between OBI apps and OFSAA

    Hi,
    In my next project I need to work on OFSAA, so I did some google and found some related topics like OBI apps and OFSAA. Can anyone put some light on the differences among two. What I got if from some blogs/article about these terms are like:
    OFSAA: Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure is the complete end-to-end Business Intelligence solution that is easily accessible via your desktop. Its single interface lets you tap your company's vast store of operational data to track and respond to business trends.
    OBI Apps: It is a complete end to end BI environment covering BI platform (BI server including ETL and reporting tool) and pre-packaged analytic applications (pre-built reports, dashboards, alerts using OBIEE).
    As from the above definition, I can not find out the major and distinctive differences between the two so could anyone help me in putting some light to these terms.
    Your help would really be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I believe these are 2 completely separate and unrelated systems/solutions. OFSSA is an acquisition Oracle made ONLY for pure play BANKING software. It has its own technology and metadata stack. This includes Risk Management, etc.
    Check here for details: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28033_01/books/Infrastructure/OFSAAI_7.3_User_Manual.pdf
    OBIA is a pre packged DW solution from Oracle for ALL ERPs (PSoft, EBS, JDE, etc) for multiple industry areas (Financials, Human Resources, CRM, etc)
    Oracle will probably try to integrate OFSSA with more Oracle technologies in the coming future (FMW, Exalytics, etc). For now, these are 2 unrelated solutions and systems.
    Pls mark correct if this is helpful

  • OBIA 7.9.6.4 all report for Procurement and Spend show same row of dat

    Hi,
    I have created an OBIA 7.9.6.4 environment. Loading data from Vision Environment of EBS provided by oracle. The issue I am facing after loading data when i check the report all the reports show same data across all rows. please find screen shot below
    Thanks in Advance
    Lalchand

    Hi,
    Unable to past the screenshot on the forums message box. I have checked the filters and other stuff. Let me explain with an example wht is happening.
    For example I have a report Spend Trends by Items, where I have Year, Spend, Year Ago Spend, Chg Year ago Spend, Change due to price, Change due to quantity, etc.. columns
    This report is showing different years but for rest of the columns it is showing of total of all the year. Like for year 2003, 2004,2005 etc we spend 10,20,30 receptively. so report should show it as 2003 - 10,2004 - 20 & 2004 -30.
    But it is right now showing like 2003 - spend 60, 2004 - spend 60 & 2005 - spend 60.
    Thanks

    We sucessfully full loaded the projects module.Now we are trying full load for procurement.But the problem is its running almost 15 hours after sucessfully finishing 115 tasks.
    I dont know the exact problem.Can anyone please guide me to identify the problem?
    Thnx

    In DAC sort the complete or running tasks by time in the lower part of DAC when you select tasks sub tab. thos will hel pyou see that tasks take the longest, then look for their log and see what SQL is running then have DBA look at the SQL level performance.

  • OBIA 7.9.6 and procurement & spend analytics

    Hi,
    I have a doubt on OBIA 7.9.6 application.
    My OLTP source is JD Edwards.
    They bought Financial analytics, procurement and spend analytics. As we knew that financial anlytics come with prefixed star schema, informatica mappings and DAC settings.
    They also wanted to implement procurement and spend analytics. My question is whether we need to develop a customised data model or Oracle would provide the data model, then our job is to map with OLTP?.
    I am not sure on this. If anyone knew this how to proceed on this, pls let me know.
    Thanks

    Ahmed,
    if you dont want to edit any mapping, then you can populate the data into some un-used column in the ETL and change the name of the column in RPD.
    Though this is not a good approach, but you can try this.

  • Key differences between 11g r1 and 11g r2

    What are key differences between Oracle EE 11g r1 and 11g r2?
    Also, there seems to be a typical perception that 11g R1 has "lot of bugs". Is that a statement out of proportion?
    Thanks,

    What are key differences between Oracle EE 11g r1 and 11g r2?For this, you would need to measure and compare the New Feature's guides from both the releases. There are lots of features and depending on a person's domain, there can be a big list.
    Also, there seems to be a typical perception that 11g R1 has "lot of bugs". Is that a statement out of proportion?That's not meant only for 11gr1 or 11gr2. There would be always bugs with the new features introduced in any X version which would be taken care in Y version and then there would be new features introduced and thus the cycles goes on.

  • Key Differences between Essbase System 9 and 11

    Hi,
    I understand that there are several architectural underpinnings that are different between system 9 and system 11. The other day a business user asked me to point out key differences between system 9 and 11.
    the first thing that jumped at me was the thin client architecture, where you dont have to install EAS or Studio on to user system..
    Can anyone help me tabulate the key differences interms of end user functionality and in terms of developer interfaces.
    any inputs would be really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Here are some things I particularly like about System11 Essbase
    <li>Ability to store text and dates as measure values (intersection data)
    <li>Lifecycle Management & Lifecycle Management API
    <li>Single click backup and restore
    <li>Attributes that can be changed over time to preserve historical data
    <li>ASO Maxl data slice clearing & inversion
    <li>Ability to use Environment Variables
    <li>Implied Share override
    <li>@DateDiff and @DatePart

  • Difference between using app server connection pooling and using the driver

    Hi all,
    How to get connection pooling with out application server and tomcat also?
    What is the difference between using app server connection pooling and using the driver supported connection pooling?
    Regards,
    Murali

    maybe the performance of App server pool is better than the JDBC pool,
    for you don't know wether the implementation of the JDBC interface is good or bad.

  • What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?

    Hi Friends
    What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
    Regards
    Chinna Krishna

    Hi Chinna
    Here are my two cents on this questions
    1. Catagory Management : It pertains to all sourcing activities that a purchasing group does for a specific catagory of items ( say tyres, bearings, etc. in automobile industry scenario OR steel sheets, electric motor, etc. in consumer durables industry scenario) in order to meet companies strategic goals like cost, quality, delivery and new product introduction. It also involves the strategic sourcing piece for that category. Typically it can include following activities for a category which is being managed
    - Identifying current and future business & technical requirements
    - Constant vigilence and analysis of supply market for that category ( and also identifying new sources)
    - Lauching various projects within category focussed on cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery improvement. This may include some of activities like supplier analysis. RFx, Reverse auctions, contract negotiation, etc.
    - Monitoring the category specific supplier performance
    Category Management team typically consists of cross functional team and it is iterative process (continuous improvement).
    Category Management in covered to some extent in E-Sourcing application and its analysis is covered in Spend Analytics application. Fully blown category management is on road map of SAP but none of the current functionalities addresses it fully.
    2. Spend Analysis: This involves analysis of the spend at highest level of organization. To improve the data quality, it typically involves spend data standardization & enrichment, supplier normalization and spend categorization. Once you have clean data, one can slice and dice the data to gain insight into the spend and identify opportunities for launching the various initiatives focussed on cost, quality and delivery.
    SAP Spend Analytics application covers this spend analysis capability.
    Its a long answer and hope it helps you.
