CAC Inventory Periods Not Closed or Summarized – Oracle EBS SQL Report
Oracle E-Business Suite SQL report from the Enginatics Library powered by Blitz Report™. Oracle EBS module: Cost Accounting · all Cost Accounting reports
Overview
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.
