01 / The Problem
One question every balance
must answer.
"Is this balance expected timing or an exception?"
The question finance teams ask every month-end.
Receiving and clearing balances span modules and platforms
EBS and Fusion often answer the same question differently
Blind drilldowns waste hours and obscure context
Audit teams need a clear and defensible narrative
02 / The Framework

What you'll
actually see

01

Source, Category and Lifecycle

Review balances through the same three lenses across EBS and Fusion.

02

Receipt, Valuation and Clearing

Separate where value is held from where it is still moving before drilling down further.

03

Targeted Drilldown in Excel

Move from lifecycle stage to supplier, PO, receipt and item without switching modules.

04

Continuity Through Transformation

Maintain one reporting and audit narrative across EBS-to-Fusion programmes.
