Correctly display images in Separate Remittance Advise report in Oracle Fusion Applications

Currently, there is a requirement to modify the seeded Separate Remittance Advise (SRA) layout to add the Organization's specific branding such as logos, icons, etc.

To do this, just follow the same procedure in customizing seeded layouts in Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise and upload the custom layout. 

However, the SRA report has some limits on how it can be delivered. Depending on the setup of the Supplier site or the Payment Process Profile, we can either have it either "Printed" (save the PDF output and print or email it to Suppliers) or delivered automatically to the suppliers via Email (as an HTML).

However, one issue with delivering it via email is that when using layouts that contain pictures, the pictures explode because its not formatted correctly. Take the layout below as an example:

The sample layout above uses a Header in the RTF Template. Although this looks normal when generated manually (as a PDF), this layout's pictures will explode when delivered as an HTML Email:

Above is a screenshot of the report delivered via email, Zoomed at 20%. The text isn't even visible anymore due to the company logo eating up all the space. 

Follow the simple steps below resolves this issue:

1. Open the RTF layout in Word. Click on the picture to be re-sized. From the ribbon, under the  Picture Tools / Format tab, click on "Compress Pictures":

1. Change the photo's resolution to "Web/Screen" to that the resolution would be decreased to 96 dpi. Save and re-test:

1. Now the report output delivered is readable from the Email message body.
