BOM Calendar Exceptions Report
Executive Summary
The BOM Calendar Exceptions report provides a detailed listing of all exception dates defined in the Bill of Materials (BOM) calendar. This report is a critical tool for production planners and supply chain managers, offering a clear view of all non-working days, such as holidays and weekends, that are defined in the manufacturing calendar. By providing a comprehensive view of calendar exceptions, the report helps to ensure that production schedules are accurate and that material requirements are planned correctly.
Business Challenge
The manufacturing calendar is a critical component of the production planning process. However, managing calendar exceptions can be a complex and challenging task. Without a clear and comprehensive report, organizations may face:
- Inaccurate Production Schedules: If calendar exceptions are not properly accounted for, production schedules may be inaccurate, leading to delays and disruptions in the manufacturing process.
- Incorrect Material Planning: Inaccurate production schedules can lead to incorrect material planning, which can result in material shortages or excess inventory.
- Lack of Visibility: Difficulty in getting a clear and up-to-date view of all calendar exceptions, which can make it difficult to plan for and manage production disruptions.
- Manual Processes: The process of manually reviewing and managing calendar exceptions can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
The Solution
The BOM Calendar Exceptions report provides a clear and detailed view of all calendar exceptions, helping organizations to:
- Improve Production Planning: By providing a clear and accurate view of all non-working days, the report helps to ensure that production schedules are accurate and that material requirements are planned correctly.
- Reduce Production Disruptions: By providing a proactive view of upcoming calendar exceptions, the report helps to minimize the impact of holidays and other non-working days on the production schedule.
- Enhance Visibility: The report provides a centralized and easy-to-read view of all calendar exceptions, making it easier to plan for and manage production disruptions.
- Increase Efficiency: The report automates the process of reviewing and managing calendar exceptions, which can save a significant amount of time and effort.
Technical Architecture (High Level)
The report is based on a query of the bom_calendar_exceptions table. This table stores all of the exception dates that are defined in the BOM calendar. The report also uses the hr_all_organization_units_vl and mtl_parameters tables to retrieve information about the organization and the calendar that are associated with the exceptions.
Parameters & Filtering
The report includes three parameters that allow you to filter the output by organization, calendar, and date.
- Organization Code: This parameter allows you to filter the report by a specific organization.
- Calendar: This parameter allows you to select a specific calendar to view.
- Future only: This parameter allows you to filter the report to show only future-dated exceptions.
Performance & Optimization
The BOM Calendar Exceptions report is designed to be efficient and fast. It uses direct table access to retrieve the data, which is much faster than relying on intermediate views or APIs. The report is also designed to minimize the use of complex joins and subqueries, which helps to ensure that it runs quickly and efficiently.

It can also help you to minimize the impact of production disruptions and improve the overall efficiency of your manufacturing operations.
Q: Can I use this report to see the calendar exceptions for a specific organization? A: Yes, you can use the “Organization Code” parameter to filter the report and view the calendar exceptions for a specific organization.
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.
