Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC Item Cost Summary
Executive Summary
The CAC Item Cost Summary report is the workhorse of cost reporting. It provides a straightforward, comprehensive list of item costs for a specified Cost Type and Organization. It is the “go-to” report for answering basic questions about inventory value, standard costs, and item attributes.
Business Challenge
Users need a simple, reliable way to extract cost data.
- Accessibility: Navigating screen-by-screen to check costs is inefficient.
- Attribute Context: Knowing the cost is not enough; users also need to know the Item Status, Make/Buy code, and Default Accounts to understand the context.
- Uncosted Items: Identifying items that have been created but not yet costed (Cost = 0) is a critical maintenance task.
Solution
This report provides a flat, filterable list of item costs.
- Comprehensive: Includes Unit Cost, Material Cost, Material Overhead, Resource, OSP, and Overhead buckets.
- Context Rich: Includes Inventory Asset Flag, Planning Make/Buy Code, and Default COGS/Sales accounts.
- Maintenance Aid: The “Include Uncosted Items” parameter helps identify gaps in the costing setup.
Technical Architecture
The report queries the primary costing view:
- Core Table:
cst_item_costs. - Item Details: Joins to
mtl_system_itemsfor descriptions and control flags. - Account Resolution: Joins to
gl_code_combinationsto show the default accounts associated with the item.
Parameters
- Cost Type: (Mandatory) The cost type to display (e.g., Frozen, Pending, Average).
- Include Uncosted Items: (Mandatory) Toggle to show items with no cost record.
- Item Status to Exclude: (Optional) Filter out Inactive or Obsolete items.
Performance
- Scalable: Designed to handle large item masters.
- Indexed: Efficiently filters by Organization and Cost Type.
FAQ
Q: Does this show the breakdown of resources? A: No, it shows the total Resource cost. For a breakdown by specific resource (e.g., Labor vs. Machine), use the “Item Cost & Routing” report.
Q: Why is the cost zero? A: Either the item is new and hasn’t been costed, or it is an Expense item (Inventory Asset Flag = No) which is not tracked with a value in inventory.
Q: Can I use this for Average Costing? A: Yes, simply select the “Average” cost type.
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.
