CAC ICP PII Inventory and Intransit Value (Period-End)

Description:

Report showing amount of profit in inventory at the end of the month. If you enter a cost type this report uses the item costs from the cost type; if you leave the cost type blank it uses the item costs from the month-end snapshot. In either case this report uses the month-end quantities, based on the entered period name. And as these quantities come from the month-end snapshot (created when you close the inventory accounting period) and this snapshot is only by inventory organization, subinventory and item and not split out by cost element, this report only shows the Material Account, based upon your Costing Method.

Notes: 1) Profit in inventory is abbreviated as PII or sometimes as ICP - InterCompany Profit. 2) There is a hidden parameter, Numeric Sign for PII, which allows you to set the sign of the profit in inventory amounts. You can specify positive or negative values based on how you enter PII amounts into your PII Cost Type. Defaulted as positive (+1).

Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC ICP PII Inventory and Intransit Value (Period-End)

Executive Summary

The CAC ICP PII Inventory and Intransit Value (Period-End) report is a specialized financial tool designed to calculate and report the Intercompany Profit (ICP) or Profit in Inventory (PII) trapped within the ending inventory balances. For multinational corporations that transfer goods between subsidiaries at a markup (transfer price), this profit must be eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. This report provides the granular data needed to calculate that elimination entry at month-end.

Business Challenge

When Entity A sells to Entity B at a profit, and Entity B still holds that inventory at month-end, the consolidated entity has not yet realized that profit (since it hasn’t been sold to an external customer).

The Solution

This report solves the problem by:

  1. Snapshot-Based Quantities: Using CST_PERIOD_CLOSE_SUMMARY to get the exact frozen quantities at period close.
  2. Dual Costing: Comparing the standard inventory value against a specific “PII Cost Type” (which holds the profit component) or extracting the profit from a specific Cost Element/Sub-Element.
  3. Intransit Inclusion: Calculating the value of goods currently moving between organizations (Intransit Inventory).
  4. Automated Elimination: Providing the exact dollar amount of profit that needs to be credited to the Inventory account and debited to the COGS/Profit Elimination account.

Technical Architecture (High Level)

The query is complex, involving multiple layers of logic to handle different costing methods (Standard vs. Average/Cost Group).

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between “PII” and “ICP”? A: They are usually synonymous in this context. PII stands for “Profit in Inventory,” and ICP stands for “Intercompany Profit.” Both refer to the unrealized margin held in stock.

Q: Why do I need a separate “PII Cost Type”? A: In many implementations, the “Frozen” cost includes the profit. To know how much is profit, companies often maintain a parallel cost type (e.g., “IC_COST”) that represents the true manufacturing cost, or they isolate the profit into a specific Material Overhead sub-element. This report supports the sub-element approach.

Q: Does this report include Intransit Inventory? A: Yes, the title and logic indicate it covers Intransit Value, which is crucial as significant profit can be “floating” between warehouses at month-end.

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.

Blitz Report Pivots

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.

Blitz Report Dashboard

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.
