Description

This is regarding all subject area.
There are many items in subject area that has different name with field name of ERP screen.
We usually check field name of ERP screen, and try to find appropriate item in subject area.
If there is difference between those, it takes long time to find appropriate item in subject area.

Use Case and Business Need

Oracle says OTBI is userfriendly tool, but we don't see any of that because of above thing.
We have stumbled across creating OTBI report. We really hope it resolves in near future.

This issue is a matter of life and death for us.

More details

In addition, we are designing to utilize the output of OTBI for the data connection between each module for the purpose of establishing a business process, as follows.
  ex) PO of OC -> OTBI -> Excel macro -> FBDI or API -> AP of OC  and so on...

    Label name in subject area and column name in ERP screen should be identical if it indicates the same thing. There are so many items in subject area to choose when we try to create a report for various purposes. When label name in subject area and item name in ERP screen refers the same but named differently, it would confuse users and makes it hard for them to show exactly what they want in their report.

    It should be common sense, but between the interface name, business object name and OTBI field name.... we have too much wording. Keep it simple !

    While I agree that the field names should remain the same between ERP, PVOs & OTBI Subject area and they are is most cases. Though we also need to note that the ERP developers are different than those for OTBI and thus causing the differences. It will definitely help new users of OTBI however with experience users learn which subject area provides the relevant field.

    Common Sense if OTBI were to be userfriendly
