Oracle Internet Expenses provides programs and reports that let you manage expense reporting. The Expense Analysis and Reporting feature and Top 10 Spenders Report helps managers review policy violations and spending patterns in their departments.
You can build an ad hoc reports using Oracle Discoverer. See Ad Hoc Reporting.
Use the Expense Analysis and Reporting responsibility to manage the expense report information available in Internet Expenses. The Expense Analysis and Reporting responsibility provides managers and other users with a dedicated tool for reviewing expense reports and company policy violations across business groups and operating units. For more information, see: Expense Analysis and Reporting responsibility.
The Expense Analysis and Reporting link takes you to the Expenses And Violations Reporting page to run expense analysis reports.
Use the Expenses and Violations Reporting page to review company expenses and trends in policy violations. The page provides a Search function for displaying expense report and policy violation data, and displays data according to the view you select.
An expense report is available for viewing using the Expense Analysis and Reporting tool once workflow has completed.
Expenses Analysis uses the MO: Operating Unit profile option to determine the accounting periods to be used, and to determine the currency to use to display the Approver Currency Amounts. In other words, Expenses derives these values from the set of books for the applicable operating unit.
Expense Analysis and Reporting provides these views of expense report and policy violation data:
By Management Hierarchy displays expenses and policy violations for a manager and all direct reports to the manager.
By Expense Category displays expenses and policy violations by one or more expense categories.
By Violation Type displays expenses and policy violations by one or more violation types.
By Employee displays an employee’s expense reports for a designated period. You can also view the employee’s expense reports by cost center and expense category.
Managers with access to the Expense Analysis and Reporting tool can grant reporting privileges to designated personnel. For example, you can grant an administrative assistant or financial analyst access to expense report data and the associated reports for special management or analysis purposes.
Use the Assign Management Reporting Access page to grant designated personnel access to the Expense Analysis and Reporting tool. Each line assigns one individual access to one responsibility for the period of time you indicate. If you do not enter an end date, then the individual has access to the designated responsibility indefinitely. Use a separate line to assign the same individual to more than one responsibility, or to assign different individuals to the same responsibility.
Important: When you assign a responsibility to a user, the user has access to all of the functionality that is tied to the responsibility. For example, if you assign a Human Resources responsibility that also has access to payslip and related information, access to these functions is also granted. It is therefore recommended to keep the manager reporting responsibility dedicated to manager reporting and analysis functionality only.
By default the Expense Analysis and Reporting responsibility only provides access to a manager's reporting hierarchy. If you want to grant a user unrestricted access to the Expense Analysis and Reporting responsibility, you must modify the responsibility. See: Defining Responsibility Attributes for more information.
Top 10 Spenders Report displays expenses reported using Oracle Internet Expenses by up to ten employees, ranked by total expenses per employee for the department specified. This report is available from the Expense Management page.
