Journals Batch Summary Report
Lists posted journal batches for a ledger, balancing segment, currency, and date range, with source, batch and posting dates, total entered debits and credits, sorted by batch within category.
Run note · BIP run High-volume GL extracts can exceed BI Publisher's online output limit and time out. Run it as a scheduled process (ESS) with output bursted to file or email rather than online preview, and bound it by ledger and period.

The report lists posted journal batches with source and posting dates, by category.
22 batches from one source posted after period close — late batches that may belong in the prior period.
Tighten the close cutoff for that source; a batch posted after close distorts the period comparison.
This is the report's BI Publisher data model — the SQL data set BI Publisher runs against Oracle tables to produce the output. The same SQL becomes a dbt model in your warehouse, so one definition drives both the formatted report and the analytics layer.
Data sources
The data-warehouse model — one fact surrounded by conformed dimensions (what you slice by) and measures (what you aggregate), expressed as dbt so it migrates with you. Grain: one row per source transaction.

Customization note Customers usually extend it into a close-monitoring view that flags unposted or late batches by source. Irvine rebuilds these on your data.
