Financial Transaction Data Sets

  • 1.  Financial Transaction Data Sets

    Posted Thu October 31, 2019 02:10 PM

    My objective for the 1st half of 2020 includes rebuilding the financial layer of our existing cost model. Currently, I receive a single data source from IT Finance and it's the GL; so all rolled up to cost center, account #, a dollar amount, and maybe a vendor name if I'm lucky. This is just not enough information to make meaningful cost allocations and discoveries. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    What are others doing? Do you:

     

     

     

        
    • Utilize POs and invoices and implement some sort of matching mechanism and validate to a P&L?
      •   
    • Work backward from a P&L and identify related invoices and POs somehow?
      •   
    • Do any kind of offline aggregation of various points of data before uploading? Or do it all within Cost Transparency?
      •   
    • Is anyone using Oracle EBS? 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Any and all input is very appreciated.
