The portable nature of Simplified Loader Excel sheets makes it possible to distribute the file to any user (inside or outside your organization) who wishes to supply Invoice details. Once the Payable team receives the file populated with invoice data, the Payable team can use the same file (without a need to copy-paste data from one Excel file to another) to load data into Oracle Fusion.
Oracle provides an FBDI and ADFdi sheet for data upload. Compared with FBDI, Simplified loader Templates are 95% more convenient to use in terms of organizing data in Excel, steps involved in data upload, and resolving errors. Similarly, using standard ADFdi, the Invoice is loaded into Oracle Fusion in a two-step process. In the first step, the Invoice is loaded to the interface table. Then the import invoice program loads the Invoice into Oracle Fusion. In the case of Simplified Loader, the Invoice is created directly in Oracle Fusion without the need of posting the Invoice to an interface table. All data validations take place at the time of invoice upload from Excel. Please review a detailed comparison with FBDI and ADFdi Template here.
