PathFinder was created to help users better understand their data. It is not a simple reporting tool to summarize or filter data by certain attributes, but a real time access tool that allows you to find your way through the data.

What do we mean, find your way through the data? Think about a scenario where you want to understand payments made on an order. How would you do that today? You would need to look up the sales order, find the related invoices, search for those invoices and then find the related customer payments by opening multiple pages.

Imagine the ability to seamlessly navigate from one type of data to another and not having to back up and look for additional data. Just drill straight through from one type of data to another (ex: Order-to-Cash)…in real-time!

PathFinder is a browser-based tool that uses pre-defined or custom Business Objects.  Additionally, with PathFinder, you can join different sources of data. For example, you might combine data from a shipping system with JDE Sales Orders to better track the status of shipments – without having to switch between applications or use a data warehouse.
