AR Open Items Revaluation - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The AR Open Items Revaluation report is the XML Publisher-based standard report for calculating foreign exchange (FX) gains and losses on open receivables. It is an essential month-end compliance tool that ensures assets held in foreign currencies are reported at their current fair value, as required by accounting standards like IAS 21 and FAS 52.
Business Challenge
Global organizations hold receivables in multiple currencies. As exchange rates fluctuate between the invoice date and the reporting date, the functional currency value of these assets changes.
- Financial Accuracy: Reporting receivables at historical rates can significantly overstate or understate the company’s financial position.
- Manual Effort: Calculating the FX impact for thousands of individual invoices and credit memos manually is impractical and error-prone.
- Audit Trail: Auditors require a clear, itemized list showing the original rate, the closing rate, and the resulting adjustment for every revalued transaction.
Solution
The AR Open Items Revaluation report streamlines the revaluation process:
- Automated Calculation: It automatically retrieves the closing exchange rate for the selected period and applies it to all open foreign currency balances.
- Detailed Analysis: It lists each invoice, showing the original amount, the open amount, the original exchange rate, the revaluation rate, and the calculated gain or loss.
- Flexibility: Users can run the report in “Detail” mode for auditing or “Summary” mode for booking journal entries.
Technical Architecture
This report (ARXINREV_XML) is built on Oracle’s XML Publisher technology, offering a more modern output format compared to older text-based reports.
Key Tables & Joins
- Open Items:
AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULESis the source of truth for what is currently owed. - Transaction Data:
RA_CUSTOMER_TRXprovides the invoice number, date, and original currency details. - Exchange Rates:
GL_DAILY_RATES(orGL_TRANSLATION_RATES) supplies the period-end rates used for revaluation. - Accounting:
AR_XLA_CTLGD_LINES_VandGL_CODE_COMBINATIONShelp identify the specific GL accounts (e.g., Trade Receivables) associated with the transactions.
Logic
- Scope: Identifies all transactions that are “Open” (have a remaining balance) as of the end of the “Revaluation Period.”
- Rate Selection: Uses the “Rate Type” (e.g., Corporate, Spot) and “Daily Rate Date” (usually period-end) to fetch the new exchange rate.
- Gain/Loss Formula: \(\text{Unrealized Gain/Loss} = (\text{Open Amount} \times \text{New Rate}) - (\text{Open Amount} \times \text{Original Rate})\)
Parameters
- Revaluation Period: The accounting period for which the revaluation is being performed (e.g., ‘Oct-23’).
- Report Format:
- Detail: Lists every invoice.
- Summary: Aggregates by Currency and GL Account.
- Rate Type: The source of the revaluation rate (e.g., ‘Corporate’).
- Transferred to GL only: If set to ‘Yes’, restricts the report to transactions that have already been posted to the General Ledger, ensuring alignment between subledger and GL.
- Cleared only: For receipts, filters for those that have cleared the bank.
FAQ
Q: How does this differ from the “AR Open Balances Revaluation” report?
A: Both reports perform similar calculations. This version (ARXINREV_XML) is the newer XML Publisher version, which typically offers better formatting and potentially different parameter options compared to the older text-based or RDF versions.
Q: Why is the “Unrealized Gain/Loss” zero for some items? A: This happens if the revaluation rate is identical to the original rate, or if the item is in the functional currency (and “Include Domestic Invoices” is not applicable or set to No).
Q: Does this report automatically create the journal entry? A: No, this report calculates and displays the figures. The actual journal creation is done by the “Revaluation” process in the General Ledger or the “Receivables Revaluation” program, depending on your setup.
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.
