Description (Required):

I am trying to create an OTBI Analysis for AP Invoices so that I can query specific invoices for a supplier, date range etc which is all fine but I also want to be able to click on the invoice number returned and open the invoice image. I have researched and read articles on using BIP to find the UCM ID and using a web service web in the OTBI interaction to retrieve the image but why is it so complicated?

In the AP Invoice screen there is a link to the image, when I hover over the link I can see the URL. If I paste the URL into an OTBI report interaction as a test the image opens perfectly. Why is the URL, or at least the part that is unique to the invoice not visible in OTBI? Here's an example of the URL:

https://fa-aaaa-dev1-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/imaging/renderimage/originaldoc/version1/3.IPM_00446854

Can't we have the last part available in OTBI so that we can construct the full URL against each Invoice retrieved to give us access to the image?

If there's a better way, so much the better.

Use Case and Business Need (Required):

Need quick way to retrieve supplier (and customer) invoice images based on results of an OTBI query which has a number of parameters. Individually querying invoices one at a time in the application is inefficient when linking from a report should be possible
