For years, accounting system users have had to struggle with complicated
and inflexible reporting tools that are supposed to make things
easier. In fact, they make extracting data into Excel a real trial.
XRL brings such struggles to an end.
XRL is the Pegasus eXcel Reporting Layer and Business Intelligent
system which seamlessly integrates your financial information into
Microsoft Excel in a couple of simple steps.
From now on there'll be no more re-keying, no more copy and pasting
and no more data dropping down the gap. It'll just be fast, accurate
and secure reporting and analysis.
Seamless integration means less frustration
With XRL, extracting data from your accounts system is astonishingly
easy. You simply select what you need from the drop down menus and
click.
Everything you've selected is immediately imported into an Excel
spreadsheet for you. And if you change your mind about the data
you've selected or want to look at things differently, a few more
clicks is all it takes.
Accessing accounts data within Microsoft® Excel
XRL is an intuitive addition to the capabilities of Microsoft Excel.
It provides powerful and adaptable access to the financial and distribution
modules within your accounts package.
With its flexibility, ease of use and advanced drilldown capabilities,
XRL delivers fast and accurate information to provide enhanced analytical
power.
Ease of Use
XRL really is easy to use. The XRL Wizard will help you import data
into Excel. Simply select the Company for which you want to get
data, identify the area of the system you are interested in and
then choose the fields you want to import. Plus, it's all written
in English so you don't have to work with technical jargon. Getting
your company's data into Excel will now take seconds!
Accuracy and Security
The first step to using XRL is to log on to the software. This is
important as it allows the system to check your user rights and
thus ensure sensitive data is only accessible to the relevant personnel.
Once this has been done, you can use XRL to display accurate financial
data in no time at all. XRL data is extracted straight out of the
finance system, therefore eliminating the input errors common in
manual spreadsheet use.
Reporting Power
With XRL, you can create a link between the data and a specific
field in a spreadsheet so that you can design Management Reports
(P & L, Balance Sheet etc.) in Excel and link the data fields 'live'
into the latest accounting information. Existing XRL users report
that producing Management Reports now takes hours rather than days.
Further reporting power is provided by multi-dimensional analysis
tools such as Cube Analysis and Pivot Tables.
Drill down to individual transactions
Not only can you export data into Excel, you can also interrogate
those fields and drill down to the transactions behind them.
For example, a Turnover Value for a customer can be expanded by
invoice number and then expanded again so that you can see the stock
items which make up that invoice. When explaining a value on a spreadsheet,
XRL makes it possible to drilldown to investigate the transactions
behind the field, providing an immediate answer without having to
refer back to the accounts system.
Writeback
The easy to use Data Send facility in XRL allows you to take information which has been prepared in Excel and load it directly into the accounts system. Information such as Nominal Budgets, Price Lists and Stock Adjustments can all be entered into the Accounts System with a minimum of effort. This functionality is only available for Pegasus Opera II users. Not only does this feature save a great deal of time, it also eliminates the need to undertake mundane repetition of manual input.
Data Cubes
Data Cubes provide multi-dimensional views of data for use in business
analysis. An example of this would be where insight is needed into
sales of stock items by region, sales representative, type and so
on, and in any combination - this would be the sort of information
that exists within the finance system, but would not be so readily
available and with this degree of manipulation.
