More4apps vs FBDI
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP provides a spreadsheet tool to load data, so why do so many companies look elsewhere for an alternative solution?
The Problems with FBDI
What issues are companies and data owners facing with the inherent data loading solution?
Multiple Templates, Inflexible Formatting
Switching between tabs, linking records, multiple spreadsheets
Oracle tools require users to constantly switch between Oracle screens, Excel, and their desktop. Oracle tools also require users to manually link records such as Headers and Lines across different worksheets and using record IDs.
Limited Data Validation & Error Messaging
Validation of data occurs at the end of the data loading process
Oracle's FBDI offers basic data validation but typically after the data has already been loaded, requiring complex and tedious reconciliations.
Lack of Download Capabilities
Significant gaps in the data loading process and overall business needs
FBDI offers limited download capabilities in all business areas of Fusion Cloud ERP. This not only disrupts the business tasks at hand but causes major frustrations for end users.
Why Data Owners Prefer More4apps
The Excel-based spreadsheet solution was made specifically for Oracle ERP end users.
Advanced Data Validation
Pre-load validation, intuitive error messages matched to data
More4apps presents the errors in context of the data which saves time and reduces frustration.

"More4apps is so much easier to use and work with than the Oracle FBDIs or ADFDIs. We are able to do mass Project updates in minutes/hours instead of days/weeks, and have been able to make changes to Projects to improve manual processes that we wouldn't have even considered doing without this product."
