Steps to create union report from General Ledger Journals Real Time subject area to the Subledger
Journals Real Time subject area:..............................................................................................................2
Customer requirement:
Customer is basically trying to combine the General Ledger Journals Real Time subject area to the
Subledger Journals Real Time subject area, which is coming from two domains from GL and AP.
We started with cross subject area method, after sometime the requirement doesn’t satisfy with cross
subject area report as customer would like to see debit and credit in two columns, not 4 columns. We
created report with union of two subject areas, which satisfy the customer requirement.
Steps to create union report from General Ledger Journals Real Time
subject area to the Subledger Journals Real Time subject area:
Please refer KM Document: Fusion Applications OTBI: Guidelines for creating cross subject area analyses
in Oracle Transactional BI (OTBI) (Doc ID 1567672.1)
Select General Ledger Journals Real Time, select all the required columns and apply filters based on the
requirement.
To Union the second subject area, Click on Union Icon which is on the right side on the window.
Select Subledger Journals Real Time subject area, and select the columns from the second subject area
and also the filters for the second subject area.
Keep in mind, when you create a report with the union, the columns on the each column of the union
should be same data type below the column of the first subject area columns and also number of
columns should match the number of columns in the second subject area.
See the below given two screenshots and the logical SQL which explain in detail.
**If you are familiar with SQL Union, same rules apply for the analysis union report too.
For example Logical SQL looks like as given below: Observer the order and the data type and number of
columns on each subject area
