Imaging and Workflow for the Oracle E-Business Suite
170 MarkView® is the leading imaging and workflow solution, delivering best practices business process for the Oracle E-Business Suite. Proven high volume imaging technology and best practice workflows combined with unprecedented ERP integration increase ERP user productivity and extend the ERP system's reach to non-ERP users.
170 MarkView Financial Suite's image-enabled workflows are in production today at hundreds of Oracle's largest, high performance environments, managing millions of transactions. With over 15 years of experience with Oracle, 170 Systems is a Certified Advantage Partner, and 170 MarkView solutions are certified with all major releases of the Oracle E-Business Suite.
Integrate Any Type of Information
Any type of business document can be captured and managed by 170 MarkView for Oracle Financial Suite solutions. Imaging initiates the workflow for all types of paper documents - invoices in Oracle Payables, expense receipts in iExpenses, backup documentation in Oracle Accounts Receivable, personnel documents in Oracle HR, and more. The 170 MarkView Connector captures, renders, and initiates workflow for any type of electronic document - EDI feeds, electronic invoices, XML transactions, e-mails, spreadsheets, faxes, and more. Images of these documents are permanently associated with the Oracle transaction. Tight ERP system integration insures that the imaged documents and information are permanently associated with the Oracle transaction record. There is no need to cross-index or re-enter information into a separate or loosely-coupled imaging system.
Increasing ERP User Productivity
170 MarkView's unique ERP integration enriches and extends the ERP user's environment, increasing productivity. For example, in Accounts Payable, scanned invoices are queued for entry by AP professionals. By clicking on the Get Next button, a feature added to the Oracle AP Workbench by 170 MarkView, the AP professional is presented with the next invoice, enters the header information, and stores the invoice, creating a permanent association between the invoice and the Oracle AP transaction record. The AP professional uses the 170 MarkView tools to add annotations to the image, and to initiate workflow actions. The completion of AP entry initiates the best practices approval workflow, consulting the enterprise approval hierarchy tables from Oracle Human Resources, routing the invoice to the appropriate user for review, coding, and approval.
Intuitive Access for Line-of-Business Managers, Customers, Suppliers
170 MarkView workflows route document images and appropriate transaction information, via e-mail, to non-ERP users, who then have single-click access to all appropriate information from within a browser. Simple instructions and point-and-click operations guide the user through the steps required to complete their interaction with the transaction. Events, such as an authorized user placing an "Approved" stamp on an image, can cause the associated transaction to be automatically approved within the Oracle Application. Annotations created by AP can be read and responded to. For non-PO invoices, 170 MarkView Distributions is a powerful tool that enables field managers to easily enter complex GL account codes to insure that cost center charges are applied appropriately. No training is required.
Single Source of Truth and Comprehensive Audit Trails
With the 170 MarkView solution, the Oracle E-Business Suite is still the sole system of record. The image of the original document is always accessible, as it was received, through the Oracle applications transaction record. All actions such as annotations - who created, who read, who approved the transactions and when they were approved - create an id-time-date stamp that is recorded on the image. Not only does this approach avoid losing images and mis-matching them with the Oracle record, it creates a self-service capability for internal and external audit. The complete history is instantly available, at all times, and even from a remote location, dramatically reducing audit costs.
Shared Development
Oracle and 170 Systems have been developing and supporting the integration of 170 MarkView since Release 8 of the Oracle Applications in 1990. This close partnership has resulted in the most stable, supportable, and reliable integrated solutions.
