CAC WIP Account Value
Description:
Report to show WIP values and all accounts for discrete manufacturing, in summary by inventory, organization, with WIP class, job status, name and other details. This report uses the valuation accounts from each discrete job and reports both jobs which were open during the accounting period as well as jobs closed during the accounting period. You can also run this report for earlier accounting periods and still get the correct amounts and the jobs that were open at that time.
Parameters
Period Name: the accounting period you wish to report (mandatory). Include Expense WIP: enter Yes to include Expense WIP jobs. Defaults to No. Job Status: enter a specific job status (optional). Category Sets 1 - 3: any item category you wish (optional).

Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC WIP Account Value
Executive Summary
The CAC WIP Account Value report is the standard “WIP Inventory Value” report. It calculates the value of Work in Process as of a specific period end. This value represents the “Asset” on the balance sheet—materials issued, labor charged, and overheads absorbed, minus any completions or scrap.
Business Challenge
- Balance Sheet Validation: The Controller needs a detailed list of jobs that make up the $10M “WIP Inventory” asset.
- Aging: “Why is this job from 2019 still open and carrying value?” (Stale WIP).
- Costing Method: Works for both Standard (Variance based) and Average (Actual Cost based) costing.
Solution
This report calculates the balance.
- Formula:
Costs In (Material + Resource + Overhead) - Costs Out (Completion + Scrap) = Ending Balance. - Status: Shows if the job is Open, Complete, or Closed (if run for a prior period).
- Breakdown: Columns for Material, Labor, Overhead, OSP, etc.
Technical Architecture
- Tables:
wip_period_balances,wip_discrete_jobs. - Logic: Uses the snapshot table
wip_period_balanceswhich stores the value at the end of each period.
Parameters
- Period Name: (Mandatory) The target period.
- Include Expense WIP: (Optional) Toggle to show non-asset jobs (e.g., Maintenance).
Performance
- Fast: Queries summary tables rather than summing individual transactions.
FAQ
Q: Why is my WIP value negative? A: Usually timing. You completed the assembly (Credit) before you issued the components (Debit). This is a process error called “Negative WIP”.
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.
