- 3. © 2022 All rights reserved, Splash Business Intelligence Inc. What is OTBI? OTBI reports are standard out-of-the-box reports that Oracle provides when you go live with the SaaS applications. There are several out of the box reports across different areas, such as: HR Reports - This is a detailed report which shows all the details of employees in the organization from an HR standpoint – their HR attributes, the location, job, etc. Absence Breakdown - This provides visual reports, where you can select your years and see how many hours of absence people have taken. General Journals Report - GL journal reports is when you export one of the standard OTBI reports to excel. It just shows you all the journal entries, and you can look at what entries are made in a time Range and for what organizations.

Oracle has provided these pre-built subject areas, which are logical collections of similar attributes. Let’s say all the financials or all the general Ledger attributes are combined into one subject area and all the HR in another subject area. You can use the Oracle out-of-the-box reports, or if it doesn’t meet your needs, you can create your own reports using these standardized subject areas.
