Orbit GLSense is Orbit’s Excel-based financial and GL-reporting solution for Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP and Oracle E-Business Suite. It plugs Excel directly into your ERP’s general ledger and sub-ledgers so finance users can build refreshable financial statements, run GL account analysis, and drill from balances to journals and subledger detail in real time—without manual exports or IT dependency. 

For finance teams responsible for Oracle Fusion GL Reporting, Oracle Fusion Cloud GL reporting, and modernising legacy Oracle Fusion FSG Reporting processes, GLSense provides a familiar Excel front end with governed, real-time access to Fusion and EBS GL data. 

Why Orbit GLSense for Oracle Fusion Cloud GL? 

1. AI-powered GL insights (not just raw numbers) 

GLSense sits directly on Oracle Fusion Cloud GL and EBS GL and uses AI to explain what is going on in your ledger, instead of just dumping balances into Excel. This is especially important when you are trying to scale Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting beyond basic trial balances and ad hoc spreadsheets. 

• Orbit positions GLSense as an AI-powered financial reporting tool that connects straight to ERP ledgers like Oracle Cloud ERP and EBS, giving finance teams more flexibility than traditional Oracle Fusion GL Reporting via static tools. 
   

• Their AI features are designed to simplify interpretation of complex GL reports and Oracle Fusion FSG Reporting style layouts – surfacing patterns, anomalies, and relationships that would normally take manual pivoting and spreadsheet work to spot. 

In practical GL terms, that means things like: 

• Highlighting unusual movements by account, cost center, or entity 

• Automatic drill downs (e.g., from a GL account to specific journals or subledger sources) 

• Giving narrative style explanations on trends or variances, instead of forcing users to build lots of custom views 

So finance teams spend less time building GL reports and more time understanding what the GL is actually telling them across Fusion and EBS ledgers, especially in high-volume Oracle Fusion GL Reporting environments. 

2. Dual Experience: native Excel and browser UI for GL 

Excel front end (what Finance loves): 

• GLSense is an Excel add in: users build and run GL reports directly inside Excel, with live data from Oracle Fusion Cloud GL or EBS GL. This makes it much easier to operationalise Oracle Fusion GL Reporting in the tools finance already knows. 

• You can design trial balances, account analysis reports, journal reports, and period end financial statements in Excel, similar to traditional layouts used for Oracle Fusion FSG Reporting scenarios, then refresh them instantly against the GL. 

• Drill down from high level GL balances to journals and subledger detail is a core use case, not a workaround. 

For day to day Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting, this means analysts keep their spreadsheet driven workflows, but without manual CSV exports or fragile formulas. 

Browser front end (for governance & scaling): 

• GLSense also plugs into Orbit’s browser based reporting platform, so the same GL content can be scheduled, secured, and shared centrally via the web. This is especially useful when you want Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting packs to reach non Excel stakeholders. 

• That gives you a consistent GL “single version of truth” across Excel and browser dashboards, instead of hundreds of divergent offline spreadsheets, for all Oracle Fusion GL Reporting and EBS reporting users. 

For GL teams, this combo means: analysts stay in Excel, controllers and CFOs can review and approve reports in the browser, and everyone is looking at the same live GL data from the Fusion GL and EBS GL back ends.

3. One GL reporting layer for both Oracle EBS and Oracle Fusion 

Many organizations are running mixed estates (some ledgers on EBS, some on Fusion Cloud). GLSense is explicitly positioned as a single GL reporting layer across both, so Oracle Fusion GL Reporting does not sit in a silo. 

• GL Sense is Orbit’s flagship financial reporting solution for Oracle E Business Suite and Oracle Fusion Cloud GL, delivering secure, real time, interactive GL reporting that simplifies Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting for global finance teams. 

• The same Excel templates and browser reports can point at GL data from either environment, which is extremely useful during a phased migration, especially if you want continuity between legacy FSG layouts and newer Oracle Fusion FSG Reporting expectations. 

Compared to tools that are “Fusion only” or “EBS only”, this is a big plus if you are: 

• Migrating ledgers from EBS to Fusion and need consistent GL views 

• Consolidating group wide GL reporting across multiple Oracle ERP instances 

• Standardising Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting processes without having to rebuild every single template from scratch 

4. Blaze Adaptive Memory – faster GL report runs 

Orbit’s Blaze Adaptive Memory is specifically marketed as a breakthrough for GL reporting performance, particularly for Oracle Fusion GL Reporting and EBS GL workloads: 

• It is an enhancement to GLSense that uses a behavior driven, adaptive memory approach rather than a simple static in memory cache, so heavily used Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting queries and drill paths load significantly faster. 

Translated into GL speak: 

• Frequently used GL reports (trial balance by entity, monthly P&L by cost center, recurring reconciliations) start to feel “instant” after a short learning period, even for complex Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting runs across multiple entities. 

• Multi level drill downs from GL balances to journals to subledger lines are less likely to stall or require repeated re queries. 

Orbit even describes this as bringing GL insights closer to the “speed of thought” for GL users, which directly benefits Oracle Fusion GL Reporting teams that run the same reports many times during close and forecast cycles. 

5. Collaboration built around GL numbers 

GLSense also bakes collaboration into the way GL reports are created and consumed, so finance and audit teams can trust their Oracle Fusion GL Reporting outputs over time: 

• Finance users can create point in time snapshots of GL reports for audits, reconciliations, and close documentation – ensuring that what auditors see later matches exactly what Finance saw at period close for statutory and management Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting packs. 

• Templates for standard GL reports (trial balance, journal reports, reconciliations) can be centrally governed, so everyone runs consistent definitions of “the truth,” even as you move away from disparate workbooks built around Oracle Fusion FSG Reporting concepts. 

• Orbit uses role based security aligned with ERP security, so shared GL reports respect the same access controls as the underlying Oracle GL. This matters when Oracle Fusion GL Reporting includes sensitive entity, cost center, or segment views. 

Because this is all still Excel friendly, teams can annotate, compare versions, and share workbooks in tools they already know, but without breaking the link to live GL data from Fusion and EBS. 

How is this different from Smart View or other tools? 

Key GL focused differences: 

1. Multi ERP GL coverage

GLSense: one GL reporting solution for both Oracle EBS GL and Oracle Fusion Cloud GL (plus support for other ERPs like NetSuite), so you can treat Oracle Fusion GL Reporting as part of a broader, multi system finance strategy. 

If you have a mixed EBS + Fusion GL landscape, GLSense gives you a single reporting layer across both, acting as a unified Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting and EBS GL reporting front end. 

2. AI + Adaptive Memory as core GL differentiators

GLSense explicitly emphasizes AI for interpreting complex GL reports and Blaze Adaptive Memory for behavior driven performance boosts in Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting scenarios. 

3. Excel + browser combination

Both are strong in Excel, GLSense’s tight integration with Orbit’s web platform adds another dimension for scheduling, governance, and broader GL analytics without leaving the Orbit environment. This helps when you want the same Oracle Fusion GL Reporting templates surfaced in Excel and via browser dashboards. 

4. Direct GL orientation 

GLSense: built as a direct GL reporting layer for Oracle Fusion Cloud and EBS GL, focused on trial balances, journals, reconciliations, and financial statements rather than generic BI. This maps closely to Oracle Fusion GL Reporting needs and to teams modernising legacy Oracle Fusion FSG Reporting style statements. 

5. GL specific content and KPIs 

GLSense includes GL oriented KPIs and financial statement templates designed around Oracle ERP financials, which shortens time to value for new Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting deployments. 

6. Adaptive GL performance

Blaze Adaptive Memory is explicitly targeted at speeding up recurring GL queries and drill-downs for Fusion/EBS GL users, so high-volume Oracle Fusion Cloud GL Reporting runs complete faster and remain responsive even at period end. 

Orbit Analytics GLSense – Quick FAQ 

1. What exactly is GLSense? 

GLSense is a self-service financial and GL reporting tool that lets finance teams create and refresh live Excel reports directly against Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP and Oracle E-Business Suite, with drill-down into GL and transactional details. 

2. Which systems does GLSense support ? 

It connects natively to Oracle Cloud ERP (Fusion), Oracle E-Business Suite, and also other ERPs like NetSuite—giving a 360° view from GL to sub-ledger details.  

3. Is GLSense only for GL reporting ? 

Its core strength is general ledger reporting and financial statements (TB, P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, reconciliations) with drill-down to journals and sub-ledgers, but it can also be used for broader operational reporting where needed. 

4. How do users work with GLSense—just in Excel ? 

GLSense is an Excel add-in, so most report design and analysis is done in Excel. It also sits on Orbit’s self-service reporting platform, so the same content can be scheduled and shared centrally via the web if you use the full Orbit stack. 

5. Do we get real-time data or scheduled snapshots ? 

Reports pull data from Oracle Fusion/EBS such as GL balances, periods, chart of accounts, hierarchies, DFF/KFF, etc.—and can be refreshed periodically and on demand, so finance always works with up-to-date numbers. 

6. Can I drill down from GL balances to journals and sub-ledger details ? 

Yes. A core feature is the ability to start from GL balances in Excel and drill down into journals and then into sub-ledger transactions for audit, reconciliation, and error checking. 

7. How does GLSense help during an EBS → Fusion migration ? 

Because it supports both EBS GL and Fusion GL, you can standardize your GL reports and templates across systems and keep a consistent reporting experience while ledgers migrate. 

8. What is Blaze Adaptive Memory in GLSense ? 

Blaze Adaptive Memory is a new performance layer that learns which GL queries users run most and pre-accelerates them, drastically reducing wait times and bringing financial insights “closer to the speed of thought” for Oracle EBS and Fusion GL users. 

9. Do finance users still need IT to build reports ? 

GLSense is positioned as self-service: finance builds and modifies reports in Excel, refreshes data live, and drills down without needing IT to create views or exports. 

10. How is GLSense different from native Oracle reports / Smart View ? 

Native tools often rely on prebuilt reports or EPM cubes; GLSense focuses on direct, interactive GL reporting in Excel, with purpose-built GL templates, deep drill-down, and adaptive performance for Oracle GL specifically. 

11. Is data access secure? 

Yes. GLSense respects Oracle ERP’s role-based security models, so users see only the GL and transactional data they’re allowed to see in Fusion or EBS.
