Learn how Project Partners Reporting gives Project Managers comprehensive project reporting from Oracle E-Business Suite Projects applications in a handy Microsoft Excel workbook. Project Managers can easily and quickly download data to review key project metrics, financial amounts, and drill-down from project to task to the lowest level of cost/revenue data and charts of key data. The project schedule with baseline and current dates and progress can be viewed in Gantt Chart format.
