Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC New Standard Item Costs
Executive Summary
The CAC New Standard Item Costs report is a change management tool for Standard Costing. It focuses specifically on the “Standard Cost Update” event—the moment when a “Pending” cost becomes “Frozen”. It allows the finance team to review exactly what changed during the last cost roll.
Business Challenge
- Impact Analysis: “We just updated costs for 5,000 items. Which ones changed the most?”
- Audit: Verifying that the cost update run on January 1st actually captured all the intended items.
- History: Providing a historical record of cost changes for a specific item over time.
Solution
This report links the Item to the Cost Update history.
- Event-Based: Driven by the
Cost Update Date, not the transaction date. - Comparison: Shows the New Cost vs. the Prior Cost (if available in the history tables).
- Context: Includes the “Update Description” (e.g., “2024 Annual Standard Cost Update”).
Technical Architecture
- Tables:
cst_standard_costs(History),cst_cost_updates(Header),cst_item_costs(Current). - Logic: Filters for records linked to a specific Cost Update ID or Date range.
Parameters
- Cost Update Date From/To: (Mandatory) The date the update program was run.
- From Cost Type: (Optional) The source cost type (e.g., Pending) used for the update.
Performance
- Variable: Depends on the number of items updated. A full annual roll might have 100,000 rows.
FAQ
Q: Does this show manual cost updates? A: If the manual update was done via the “Interface” or “Cost Update” screen, yes. If it was done via direct SQL (not recommended), it might not appear here.
Q: Why is the “Prior Cost” zero? A: If it’s a new item receiving its first standard cost, the prior cost is zero.
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.
