Oracle Financial Analytics consists of the following:
 Oracle General Ledger and Profitability Analytics. The General Ledger

Analytics application provides information to support your enterprise's balance
sheet and provides a detailed analysis on the overall health of your company.
The default configuration for the General Ledger Analytics application is based on
what is identified as the most-common level of detail or granularity. However,
you can configure and modify the extracts to best meet your business
requirements.
The Profitability Analytics application provides cost analysis, revenue trends, and
sales performance to provide an accurate picture of profit and loss. The
information found in the Profitability Analytics application pertains to data found
in the revenue and expense account groupings of your financial statements and
chart of accounts. The Profitability Analytics application is designed to provide
insight into your enterprise's revenue and profitability information, which ties into
your accounts receivable. The default configuration for the Profitability Analytics
application is based on what is identified as the most-common level of detail, or
granularity. However, the extracts are configurable and you can modify the

the products and customer level, and the income statement at the company and

information about your enterprise's accounts payable information and identifies
the cash requirements to meet your obligations.
The information found in the Oracle Payables Analytics application pertains to

data found exclusively under Accounts Payable (AP) in your financial statements

efficiency of your cash outflows. The need for analysis is increasingly important
because suppliers are becoming strategic business partners with the focus on
increased efficiency for just in time, and quality purchasing relationships.

efficiency of your sales operations, the quality of your receivables, and the value
of key customers.

what is identified as the most-common level of detail or granularity. However, you may
