Which tool is based on real-time data in accounts payable?

Essbase cube.
Oracle financial reporting.
Oracle transaction business intelligence (OTBI).
Oracle business intelligence applications (OBIA).

The correct answer is: Oracle transaction business intelligence (OTBI).

Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) is a reporting tool that provides real-time data and insights directly from transactional systems. It enables users to create dynamic reports and dashboards based on the most current information available in the accounts payable process. This real-time capability is crucial for effective decision-making, allowing organizations to respond quickly to changes and to monitor AP performance continuously. In contrast, Essbase cube is typically used for multidimensional data analysis but is not designed for real-time transactional reporting. Oracle financial reporting focuses on structured financial statements but may not provide the same level of real-time analytical detail as OTBI. Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (OBIA) are more focused on historical data analysis and often use pre-built analytics, making them less suited for real-time reporting compared to OTBI.
