5/10/22 - New 'Lookup' reporting feature for Oracle Cloud (Fusion)
Given how slow and unresponsive the Oracle Cloud / Fusion web forms can be, doing any type of data lookup can be an arduous and frustrating task. For instance, say you've got 30 specific invoices that you need to research to check to find the related PO and quantity received. Your choices are limited to looking these up one-by-one in the forms or running a large report and then sifting through it to find the specific invoices of interest.
With API Wizard's new 'Lookup' reporting capability, you can just paste the values you want to lookup into a column in Excel and API Wizard can quickly lookup the information you're interested in. For example, paste 30 invoice numbers and get results for each one (such as PO #, line #, qty, hold/reason, received qty, etc).
This works for any data in Oracle Cloud - Financials, Mfg, HR, etc. It's a huge time-saver for anyone that needs to lookup data in Oracle. To see a demo of this, contact us.
4/1/22 - Not fooling - we've made API Wizard even faster
API Wizard has been the fastest, easiest way to load data into Oracle for over 13 years. Back in 2020, we introduced Bulk Load, an even faster mechanism for loading data. We've been tweaking the Bulk Load algorithm and have improved performance by an additional 15%, making an already fast process even faster. We've also updated our Turbo Load process, which is our fasted load type and is typically used when data volume exceeds 100,000 records.
3/18/22 - Update to Blanket PO Process
API Wizard is continually innovating and updating its product offering. This month we highlight changes to our Blanket PO Process - we've made it even easier to create and update Blanket POs, including a specialized Loader for managing complex price breaks and another for quickly adding or editing blanket lines. If your organization uses Blanket POs, then this is a must see!

10/26/21 - Expedite Year-End Processing in Oracle EBS and Oracle Cloud Apps (Fusion) - Don't miss this webinar (Nov 10, 1pm EST)

5/10/21 - OATUG session tomorrow on API Wizard for Apex

Apex is a favorite tool in the Oracle community and can be used to rapidly build nice web-based forms for Oracle. However, as nice as it is, it doesn't really have a great solution for handling moderate or large data volumes. That's where API Wizard comes in... you can easily enable API Wizard for any Apex process and provide a better, faster user interface that's capable of handling any data volume. Check out our events page for more info.
