Pre-defined execution plan

Fast Closing comes with a pre-defined, and customizable, execution plan in which report are grouped by routines. This execution plan is translated in a visual timeline of run processes with an optimized User Interface which manages notifications and reported issues through watchlists, dashboards and graphs. This enables the financial close processes to be executed in a logical way following a predefined sequence without user intervention. 

Automatic and periodic reports

The Fast Closing Solution offers faster error resolution through automation and process streamlining. It allows the ongoing review and resolution of issues throughout the month avoiding the accumulation of errors to be fixed during the short month end period. Potential issues are notified to you, so actions can be taken pro-actively.

Single message repository

The Fast Closing Tool comes with a single message repository. Errors are grouped and totaled by process, which are organized and displayed in a single screen. The collection of information in one central area prevents the need to navigate through multiple screens, increasing the efficiency in which errors are solved.

Errors translated into corrective action buttons

Fast Closing translates the identified errors into suggested corrective actions to be taken by the user. These action buttons direct the user to the correct screens or execute an orchestration. This reduces the time required to analyze and solve errors as it eliminates the need to navigate through different screens.

Fully integrated with JD Edwards

The Fast Closing tool is fully integrated in your Oracle JD Edwards environment. The
deployment is a quick process as it solely requires the installation of the pre-configured tool.
It relies on standard JD Edwards processing, preserving existing functionality and country
localizations adopted by companies. It requires a JD Edwards version of 9.1 or later with a
tools release of 9.2.4.3.
