Enabling Enterprise-Grade Printing for Oracle EBS Extensions with ReportFactory

Executive Summary

A global industrial manufacturing enterprise standardized document printing for Oracle EBS extensions built on Oracle APEX using ReportFactory, enabling pixel-perfect outputs with full on-prem data control.

The Challenge

A global industrial manufacturing organization was running its core enterprise processes on Oracle E-Business Suite and had begun extending selected workflows using Oracle APEX. While Oracle APEX enabled faster development of modern user interfaces and extensions, document printing quickly became a major challenge.

Generating operational and transactional documents from APEX-based extensions required complex, custom-built logic. Managing layouts, pagination, and formatting through PL/SQL was time-consuming and difficult to maintain. As more extensions were rolled out, ensuring consistent, production-ready print outputs became increasingly problematic.

Additionally, the organization operated in a strictly on-premises environment. Any reporting or document generation solution had to run within their own infrastructure, ensuring full ownership and control of data, without introducing external dependencies or recurring license constraints.

Our Solution

Maathra implemented ReportFactory as the standardized document generation solution for Oracle E-Business Suite extensions built on Oracle APEX.

Deployed entirely on-premises, ReportFactory integrated seamlessly with Oracle APEX, enabling the organization to generate pixel-perfect documents directly from its extended applications. The solution eliminated the need for complex custom PL/SQL print logic and introduced a structured, template-driven approach to document generation.

By keeping all processing within the customer’s own environment, ReportFactory ensured complete control over data, security, and compliance. The platform aligned well with the organization’s IT governance standards while supporting its Oracle EBS modernization strategy.

Key Results

The adoption of ReportFactory removed a critical bottleneck in extending Oracle E-Business Suite with Oracle APEX. Teams were able to generate consistent, print-ready documents quickly and reliably, significantly reducing development effort and maintenance complexity.

With an on-prem, license-friendly solution in place, the organization gained confidence to scale its Oracle APEX extensions without concerns around data exposure or printing limitations. ReportFactory provided a stable, long-term foundation for enterprise document generation while preserving full control over business data and infrastructure.
