Key Features

Prevents Customization

Virtual Trader prevents the need to customize in order to fill your inter-company processing 'Gaps'. Multiple pricing methods, custom pricing methods, non shippable items, service & warranty, intellectual property fees, multi-tier trade & multi-tier inventory transfers and many more, all processed with 'out of box' functionality.

Full Control over Transfer Price

Virtual Trader can reduce tax liabilities from inter-company activities and directly increase the organizations realised profit. This is achieved through a greater control and flexibility over transfer price evaluation. Standard and 'client defined' pricing methods, flexibility over rate selection, separate transfer pricing on each leg of multi-tier activity are all delivered 'out of box'.

Cost Plus Capability

Virtual Trader supports organizations with subsidiaries operating a 'cost plus' process. Driven directly from nominated General Ledger entries, Virtual Trader provides forecast and true-up facilities, control over uplift rates, and various payer and pay-through options.

Streamlined Inter-Company Process

Virtual Trader provides the option to streamline inter-company activity directly to the General Ledger, whilst maintaining full legal compliance, or posting to the AR/AP sub-ledgers. General Ledger journals can be summarised by Virtual Trader, whilst still providing all the necessary transaction level detail from our Inter-Company Sub-Ledger for audit, reconciliation and printed documents. The Inter-Company Sub-Ledger also provides automated settlement functionality.

Multi-Instance Integration

Virtual Trader operates in single instance, but also resolves the difficulties around inter-company within multi-instance environments. Single instance is not always desirable or achievable due to geography, volume or acquisition. Virtual Trader can operate seamlessly across multiple Oracle instances or even across different systems simultaneously, as if it was a single 'virtual' environment.

Responsive to Change

Virtual Trader increases the speed at which your organization can respond to change through its unique rule based configurability. Allows the business community to directly impact the business logic, and common methodology increases visibility and understanding. Rule set segregation means only test what has changed, not re-test everything.

Proven Technology

Virtual Trader can provide required functionality faster and with less risk than custom development. The product is a proven 'non intrusive' bolt on to Oracle E-Business.

Developing Virtual Trader within the same technology and methodology as Oracle E-Business gives the business user all the same 'look and feel' of 11i or R12 without increasing the overhead on your IT department
