Excel-Based General Ledger Journal Upload Solution

Fast, Not Furious

Finance teams depend on cumbersome, error-prone tools for loading large batches of journal entries to the Oracle E-Business Suite General Ledger. These tools lack the abilities to validate prior to importing, autopost, and include attachments. To make matters worse, they provide weak error messaging that contributes to inefficient and repetitive processes, wasted time, and additional aggravation. Journal Wand, our Excel-based solution, allows you to batch upload journal entries with multiple attachments into Oracle. Quickly create and edit custom templates, populate them with journal data, validate the data, and upload the journals into Oracle.

Experience a start-to-end Excel process for journal uploads.
