Oracle Fusion Financials FBDI

FBDI stands for File-Based Data Import, which is a method used in Oracle Fusion Financials for bulk data import. FBDI allows users to import large volumes of data into Oracle Fusion Financials using data files in predefined formats.

Here are some key points about FBDI in Oracle Fusion Financials:

1. Data Formats: FBDI requires data files to be in specific formats, such as CSV (Comma-Separated Values) or XLSX (Microsoft Excel) format. Oracle provides predefined templates or spreadsheets for different types of data imports, such as invoices, payments, suppliers, customers, etc.

2. Data Mapping: The data files used in FBDI need to be mapped to the respective data objects or tables in Oracle Fusion Financials. Oracle provides mapping instructions or templates that specify the required column names and formats for each data object.

3. Data Staging: Before importing data using FBDI, the data files need to be uploaded or staged in the Oracle Fusion Financials cloud environment. Oracle provides tools or interfaces to upload the data files to the appropriate staging area.

4. Validation and Transformation: Once the data files are staged, Oracle Fusion Financials performs validation and transformation processes to check the data for errors, validate against predefined rules, and transform the data to match the required format or structure.

5. Import Process: After the data files pass validation and transformation, the FBDI import process can be initiated. Oracle Fusion Financials reads the data files, maps the data to the respective tables, and inserts or updates the data in the system accordingly.

6. Import Monitoring: Oracle Fusion Financials provides monitoring tools or interfaces to track the progress and status of the FBDI import process. Users can view import logs, error messages, and summary reports to identify any issues or errors encountered during the import.

FBDI is commonly used for tasks such as initial data migration, mass data updates, or periodic data imports into Oracle Fusion Financials. It offers a standardized and efficient approach for handling large volumes of data in a structured manner.

It’s important to refer to the Oracle Fusion Financials documentation and specific FBDI implementation guides for detailed instructions, templates, and best practices related to FBDI data imports in Oracle Fusion Financials.
