CAC Inventory Periods Not Closed or Summarized
Description:
Report to find all inventory accounting periods which are either still open or closed but not summarized. When you close the inventory accounting period, the Period Close Reconciliation Report creates a very useful month-end summary of your inventory quantities and balances, by item, subinventory or intransit, cost group and inventory organization. You can use this information to create a efficient month-end inventory value report. Note: this report automatically looks for hierarchies which might be used with the Open Period Control and the Close Period Control Oracle programs. Looking for the translated values of “Close”, “Open” and “Period” in the Hierarchy Name.

Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC Inventory Periods Not Closed or Summarized
Executive Summary
The CAC Inventory Periods Not Closed or Summarized report is a period-close management utility. It scans the inventory organization hierarchy to identify any accounting periods that are either still “Open” or “Closed but not Summarized.” This report is a vital checklist for the Finance team to ensure that the month-end close process is complete and that the system is ready for financial reporting.
Business Challenge
Closing inventory is a multi-step process across many organizations.
- Process Gaps: A period might be “Closed” (preventing new transactions) but the “Period Close Reconciliation” process (which summarizes balances) might have failed or not been run.
- Reporting Accuracy: If a period is not summarized, month-end inventory reports will be empty or inaccurate because the snapshot tables (
cst_period_close_summary) are not populated. - Hierarchy Management: In large enterprises, it’s hard to track the status of 50+ orgs manually.
Solution
This report provides a status dashboard.
- Exception Based: Lists only the periods that require attention (Open or Unsummarized).
- Hierarchy Aware: Can report based on the “Period Control” hierarchy, grouping orgs logically.
- Actionable: If a period appears here, the action is clear: either Close it or run the summarization program.
Technical Architecture
The report checks the status flags in org_acct_periods:
- Open Check: Looks for
open_flag = 'Y'. - Summarized Check: Looks for
summarized_flag = 'N'(or equivalent status) for periods that are supposed to be closed. - Hierarchy: Joins to
per_organization_structuresto respect the reporting hierarchy.
Parameters
- Hierarchy Name: (Optional) To group the output.
- Org Code: (Optional) To check a specific org.
- Period Name: (Implied) Usually checks the current or recent periods.
Performance
- Instant: Queries a small status table. Very fast.
FAQ
Q: What does “Summarized” mean? A: When you close a period, Oracle runs a background process to calculate the ending balance for every item and store it in a summary table. This is “Summarization.”
Q: Why is summarization important? A: Most high-performance month-end reports (like the “CAC Inventory and Intransit Value” report) read from the summary table, not the raw transactions. If it’s not summarized, those reports return zero.
Q: Can I close a period without summarizing? A: Yes, but it’s not recommended. The system allows it, but your reporting will be broken until the summarization completes.
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.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
