In today’s world, for any business organization which could be a small business organization or an MNC, generating reports for management reporting or for tax authority / compliance reporting is one of the major task. In Oracle application, we have many standard reports to extract the different set of data in each of the subledgers that you are using. However these standard reports will have fixed format / columns and they cannot be modified / changed to meet the reporting requirement of the organization.
This restriction of standard report, can be over come by using Rxi reports. In Rxi reports all formatting and column information is defined and maintained in attribute sets. Each RXi report comes with one or more attribute sets / Predefined columns. You can use these attribute sets window to view columns available in the rxi report and you can also add and substract columns for each of these pre defined rxi reports in the format and data that your company need.
From fixed asset point of view, for most of the fixed format reports, we have parallel rxi reports which means you can view and manipulate the report data in the desktop application of your choice. For example, you can download the information into Microsoft Excel and sort, analyze, and manipulate the report data using familiar spreadsheet features. You can also format the report as an HTML file and place it on your Web server or directly into the database for general access.
For more information on the list of Rxi reports available in fixed assets, how we can modify / change the attribute sets of these reports etc. refer document 2237957.1.
