FBDI TEMPLATE ORACLE FUSION FINANCIALS 

Oracle Fusion Financials is a cloud-based financial management solution that includes general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets, and more features. FBDI is a tool within Fusion Financials that allows you to import data from external sources into your Fusion applications.

Here’s a basic outline of how you might create a template for the FBDI process:

1. Identify Data Requirements: Determine the type of data you want to import. This could include information related to journal entries, invoices, purchase orders, customers, vendors, etc.
2. Understand Data Structures: Familiarize yourself with the data structures and formats required by Fusion Financials. You’ll need to ensure that your template matches these structures.
3. Use Spreadsheet Software: Typically, you’ll use a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to create your template. Each row in the spreadsheet will represent a data record, and each column will represent a field within that record.
4. Headers and Columns: Create your template’s titles (column names). These headers should correspond to the fields in Fusion Financials. Standard areas include Account Code, Amount, Date, Description, etc.
5. Data Validation: Apply data validation rules to ensure the data you enter in the template meets the required format and constraints. For example, you might set rules to ensure valid date formats, numeric values, and appropriate lengths.
6. Mappings: If any data mappings are required between your source data and the Fusion Financials fields, make sure to include these in your template.
7. Save as CSV: Save your spreadsheet as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file. FBDI generally accepts data in CSV format.
8. Upload and Test: Log in to your Oracle Fusion Financials instance, navigate to the FBDI tool, and initiate the data import process. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your CSV file and map the fields correctly. Perform a test import to ensure everything works as expected.
9. Review and Refine: Review the imported data in Fusion Financials to ensure accuracy after the test import. Make any necessary adjustments to your template and retest as needed.
10. Full Import: Once you’re confident in the template and the import process, you can perform a full data import.
