CAC Recost Cost of Goods Sold – Oracle EBS SQL Report
Oracle E-Business Suite SQL report from the Enginatics Library powered by Blitz Report™.
Overview
Report to compare the “as transacted” cost of goods sold (COGS) transactions in Oracle Inventory with the “what if” costs from a simulation cost type. Use this report when you need to make manual journal entry corrections to your COGS entries, due to incorrect item costs. In addition to reporting the normal COGS entries for the COGS Recognition, Sales Order Issue, RMA Receipt and RMA Return transactions, you can also report user-defined material transactions such as Account Issues/Receipts, Miscellaneous Issues/Receipts and Account Alias transactions which could represent COGS entries from other ERP Systems. To report additional user-defined transactions enter these along with the defaulted values for the COGS Transaction Type parameter: COGS Recognition, Sales Order Issue, RMA Receipt and RMA Return.
Note: in order for COGS entries to be reported you must first run Create Accounting.
Parameters:
Transaction Date From: enter the starting transaction date for COGS transactions (mandatory). Transaction Date To: enter the ending transaction date for PO COGS transactions (mandatory). COGS Transaction Types: enter the COGS related transaction types you wish to report (mandatory). Recost Cost Type: enter the cost type you wish to use to recost your COGS transactions (mandatory). Minimum Value Difference: the absolute smallest COGS difference you want to report (mandatory). Category Set 1: any item category you wish, typically the Cost or Product Line category set (optional). Category Set 2: any item category you wish, typically the Inventory category set (optional). Item Number: enter the specific item number(s) you wish to report (optional). Organization Code: enter the specific inventory organization(s) you wish to report (optional). Operating Unit: enter the specific operating unit(s) you wish to report (optional). Ledger: enter the specific ledger(s) you wish to report (optional).

Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC Recost Cost of Goods Sold
Executive Summary
The CAC Recost Cost of Goods Sold report is a powerful financial simulation tool. It allows Cost Accountants to answer “What If” questions regarding margins. Specifically, it compares the COGS recorded in the General Ledger (based on the active Standard Cost) against a theoretical COGS calculated using a different Cost Type (e.g., “Proposed 2024 Standard”).
Business Challenge
- Margin Analysis: “If we had used the new raw material prices, what would our Q1 margins have looked like?”
- Correction: “We set the standard cost of Item A to $10 by mistake. It should have been $100. How much COGS do we need to adjust manually?”
- Budgeting: Validating the impact of next year’s standard costs on historical sales volumes.
Solution
This report performs a retrospective valuation.
- Input: Historical Sales Transactions (COGS Recognition, Sales Order Issue).
- Calculation:
- Actual COGS = Qty * Frozen Cost.
- Simulated COGS = Qty * Recost Cost Type (e.g., Pending).
- Output: The variance between Actual and Simulated COGS, grouped by Account and Item.
Technical Architecture
- Tables:
mtl_material_transactions,cst_item_costs(joined twice: once for Frozen, once for Recost). - Logic: Filters for Transaction Action ‘Issue from Stores’ and Source Type ‘Sales Order’.
Parameters
- Recost Cost Type: (Mandatory) The “What If” cost type.
- Transaction Date From/To: (Mandatory) The historical period to analyze.
- Minimum Value Difference: (Mandatory) Threshold to filter out noise.
Performance
- Heavy: Recalculating costs for millions of sales lines is intensive. Use tight date ranges.
FAQ
Q: Does this update the GL? A: No, it is a reporting tool only. Any adjustments must be booked via manual journal entries. Q: Can it handle RMA? A: Yes, Return Material Authorizations (Credits) are included to give a net COGS impact.
