It is a template based publishing solution developed with Oracle E-Business Suite.

XML Publisher leverages standard, well-known technologies and tools, so you can rapidly develop and maintain custom report formats.

The flexiblity of XML Publisher is seperation of presentation of the report from its data structure, data is still maintained by E-Business Suite, but now we can design and control how the report output files will be presented in seperate template files.

How it will be done:

At runtime XML Publisher merges designed template with report data to create variety of outputs, that business needs.

This requirement may come in case of generating cheques for invoices, Signature content on each report like invoice, packslips, purchase orders.

To do this add XML publisher content tag as

<?start@last-page:body?> <?end body?>

before this line add ‘Continuous Section Break’ of MS-Word in your rtf template file.

Click on Insert->Break menu in MS-Word and select ‘Continuous’ radious button in the break dialog that comes up.

Any content followed above tag line will be shown at footer part of your report.

In some cases if report fits on single page, then you can use

<?start@last-page-first:body?> <?end body?>

as last page content tag.
