Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC New Items
Executive Summary
The CAC New Items report is a Master Data governance tool. It lists all items created within a specified date range, providing a comprehensive view of their setup status: Costing, Accounting, Categories, and Inventory Controls. It is the “New Hire Orientation” for your Inventory Master.
Business Challenge
- Data Quality: New items are the most common source of errors. Users forget to assign a Category, set the “Costed” flag, or define the COGS account.
- Process Control: “Did the Engineering team finish setting up the new product line?”
- Costing Gaps: Identifying items that have been created but have a zero cost (or haven’t been costed yet).
Solution
This report provides a 360-degree view of the new item.
- Attributes: Lists Status, Make/Buy, UOM, and Asset Flag.
- Financials: Shows the current Unit Cost and the default GL accounts.
- Activity: Shows the “Last Transaction Date” to see if the item is already being used.
- Stock: Shows current On-hand quantity.
Technical Architecture
- Primary Driver:
mtl_system_items.creation_date. - Joins: Links to
cst_item_costs(for cost),gl_code_combinations(for accounts), andmtl_onhand_quantities(for stock).
Parameters
- Creation Date From/To: (Mandatory) The window of time to audit.
- Include Uncosted Items: (Mandatory) “Yes” allows you to find items that missed the costing process.
Performance
- Fast: Filtering by Creation Date is highly efficient.
FAQ
Q: Does it show who created the item? A: Yes, it typically includes the “Created By” user ID.
Q: Can I use this to find “Changed” items?
A: No, this only looks at the Creation date. To find changed items, you would need to query the last_update_date or use an audit trail report.
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.
