This podcast details Oracle CPQ's report management system, focusing on creating, managing, and sharing reports on sales transaction data. The system utilizes a Report Manager per Commerce Process, allowing users to build reports from scratch or saved views, filter results using various criteria (including date ranges and custom attributes), and organize reports into folders. Reports can be scheduled for automated generation and emailing, with results displayed in the UI or downloaded to Excel. Administrators have a crucial role in configuring access, defining data columns for reporting, and managing data column population for efficient querying of XML-formatted transaction data. The podcast also covers creating calculated columns for complex data analysis, incorporating charts for visual representation, and troubleshooting potential limitations such as Excel row limits and display constraints.
