Case Study & Technical Analysis: AP Open Balances Revaluation
1. Executive Summary
Business Problem
Multinational organizations frequently transact in foreign currencies. As exchange rates fluctuate, the value of open liabilities (unpaid invoices) changes relative to the functional currency. For accurate financial reporting (ASC 830 / IAS 21), companies must “revalue” these open balances at month-end to reflect the spot rate, booking the difference as an unrealized gain or loss. Failure to do so results in misstated liabilities and inaccurate P&L.
Solution Overview
The AP Open Balances Revaluation report (and its modern counterpart, AP Open Items Revaluation) calculates the revalued amount of all open foreign currency invoices as of a specific period end. It compares the original accounted amount (at the transaction date rate) with the revalued amount (at the period-end rate) to derive the unrealized gain/loss. This report serves as the supporting schedule for the General Ledger revaluation journal.
Key Benefits
- Compliance: Ensures adherence to multi-currency accounting standards.
- Accuracy: Provides a detailed audit trail for the “Unrealized Gain/Loss” account in the GL.
- Visibility: Highlights exposure to specific volatile currencies.
2. Technical Analysis
Core Tables and Views
This report relies on a mix of transactional tables and Subledger Accounting (SLA) data:
AP_INVOICES_ALL: The source of the liability.AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL: Used to determine how much of the invoice remains open.AP_OPEN_ITEMS_REVAL_GT: A Global Temporary table populated by the standard Oracle Revaluation program. This table stores the snapshot of open items and their calculated revaluation amounts.XLA_AE_HEADERS/XLA_AE_LINES: Links the AP transaction to its underlying accounting entries.
SQL Logic and Data Flow
The report is unique because it often relies on the data generated by the standard Oracle “Open Items Revaluation” concurrent program.
- Data Generation: When the standard program runs, it populates the
AP_OPEN_ITEMS_REVAL_GTtable. - Reporting: The SQL query extracts data from this temporary table, joining it back to
AP_INVOICES_ALLandPO_VENDORSto add master data context (Supplier Name, Invoice Number) that might be missing or summarized in the temp table. - Calculation:
(Open Foreign Amount * End-of-Period Rate) - (Open Functional Amount)=Unrealized Gain/Loss.
Integration Points
- General Ledger: The output must match the revaluation journal created in GL.
- Daily Rates: Relies on the
GL_DAILY_RATEStable for the period-end spot rates.
3. Functional Capabilities
Parameters & Filtering
- Revaluation Period: The target period for the revaluation (determines the rate date).
- Rate Type: Usually ‘Spot’ or ‘Corporate’.
- Transferred to GL only: Filters for transactions that have already been accounted and posted, ensuring the revaluation is based on final numbers.
- Cleared Only: Option to include/exclude reconciled payments.
Performance & Optimization
- Temporary Table Usage: By leveraging the
GTtable, the report avoids recalculating complex remaining balances from scratch, relying instead on Oracle’s standard logic.
4. FAQ
Q: Why is this report marked as “Legacy”? A: Oracle has transitioned to the “Open Items Revaluation” architecture. While this report format is still used by some for its specific layout, the underlying data source is the same.
Q: Why don’t I see my invoice? A: Ensure the invoice was open (unpaid) as of the “Revaluation Period” end date and that it is in a foreign currency. Functional currency invoices do not require revaluation.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
