CAC WIP Account Value – Oracle EBS SQL Report
Oracle E-Business Suite SQL report from the Enginatics Library powered by Blitz Report™.

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

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”.
