Hi everybody. Does anybody have an experience in non-standard reports in oracle applications?
i need to know if it s possible to customize standard reports that exist in the General Ledger module, for example (Balance, Journal, etc..)
is there any helpfull tool for this kind of things, where you could use the existing standard report and do modifications to it? (change label, or add columns, etc..)
Thanx for your help

Dear,
there two things about this Q
1-oracle metalink will not support and recomand customization in standard reports
2-Oracle developer report builder used for customization
3-all standard report are text reports(output in text file) good practice is to design all customize reports in bitmap reports(pdf)

First of all avoid customizing standard report.This way you will avoid any upgrade hasstle or support issue.
You can always create new [8D] from existing standard report.
Take copy of standrd report ,modify it as you like and create new concurrent program for it.This way you will have all you require as well as Oracle folks are happy too [:)]
