IMPLEMENTATION – Solutions in a Box

There have been a number of specific functional and technical solutions from our projects that have delivered over and above expectations and have great potential to produce benefits in many situations. In many cases we have implemented these solutions for other clients and therefore have now invested in ‘framing’ these solutions for easy installation and use at any Oracle E-Business site.

The benefits to you as a customer are that you are acquiring a desirable solution that has been tried and tested, and comes ready to implement at a fraction of the full development cost.

The benefit to PCL is that we are able to offer an efficient central support service for the customisations and that we can easily provide an upgrade path to all our customers.

All the PCL Solutions in a Box come with a full set of supporting documentation, installation notes and process diagrams.

We aim to keep our list of available Solutions in a Box right up to date with the demands of both the market and our customers. Therefore it is worth checking the list regularly for new items. Currently we have the following Solutions in a Box available.

Direct Debits

PDF Purchase Orders
This enhancement will allow you to produce purchase orders in Adobe® portable document format (PDF) format. PDF is the de-facto standard for publishing documents and is widely used with a free viewer available for download from the Internet. With pdf you can guarantee that the PO the supplier gets by e-mail looks and is printed exactly as you want it to.

Discoverer Reporting End User Layers
This enhancement gives your Discoverer users a simple End User layer (EUL) with a number of the most useful pre-built reports for you to either use or customise for your specific needs. The reports cover General Ledger, Payables, Receivables and Purchasing (including iprocurement)

Recurring and Multiple Invoice Entry for Accounts Receivable
Do you have the need to produce sales invoices regularly, but need each occurance of the invoice to be different? Our solution allows you to set up 'template' sales invoices for a customer or group of customers. Producing Sales Invoices is simply a case of selecting the template, specifying the variable information (eg rent for the period Jan to March 2005) and submitting the job to produce the invoices. The system will even tell you when invoices are due to be produced.

Statements with dual XML and PDF output for Accounts Receivable
This enhancement allows you to offer to your customers an XML format statement together with a PDF copy. XML is the widely used standard for document exchange and allows your customers to integrate their Purchase Order systems with your Accounts Receivable system. PDF is the de-facto standard for publishing documents and is widely used with a free viewer available for download from the Internet. With pdf you can guarantee that the statement the customer gets by e-mail looks and is printed exactly as you want it to.
