CAC WIP Material Relief – Oracle EBS SQL Report

Oracle E-Business Suite SQL report from the Enginatics Library powered by Blitz Report™.

Overview

Report to show WIP material variances on closed jobs for discrete manufacturing, in summary by inventory organization, with WIP class, job status, name and other details. Including any profit in inventory or PII amounts. But unlike the more recent CAC WIP Manufacturing Variance and CAC WIP Material Usage Variance reports, this report uses the latest material issue quantities as stored on the WIP job definition, even if you run it for a prior period. It does not rollback the component issue quantities for a prior accounting period.

Parameters:

Period Name: the accounting period you wish to report (mandatory). Cost Type: defaults to your Costing Method. If blank the report uses your Costing Method Cost Type (mandatory). PII Cost Type: enter the cost type for your profit in inventory item costs to report (optional). PII Sub-Element: the sub-element or resource for profit in inventory, such as PII or ICP (optional). Category Set 1: any item category you wish (optional). Category Set 2: any item category you wish (optional). Class Code: specific type of WIP class to report (optional). Job Status: specific WIP job status (optional). WIP Job: specific WIP job (optional). Assembly Number: specific assembly number you wish to report (optional) Component Number: specific component item you wish to report (optional) Show Phantom Components: show the material usage variances for phantom components (optional). Organization Code: any inventory organization, defaults to your session’s inventory organization (optional). Operating Unit: specific operating unit (optional). Ledger: specific ledger (optional).

Executive Summary

The CAC WIP Material Relief report provides a detailed analysis of material variances for closed Work in Process (WIP) jobs. It focuses specifically on the “relief” side of the equation—how much material cost was relieved from WIP upon job completion—and compares it to the standard cost of the assembly. Unlike other variance reports that might re-calculate based on current conditions, this report uses the historical material issue quantities stored on the job definition, ensuring alignment with the actual transactions that occurred. It is a key tool for analyzing the Material Usage Variance component of manufacturing costs.

Business Challenge

In a standard costing environment, Material Usage Variance (MUV) occurs when the quantity of components actually issued to a job differs from the standard quantity required. Understanding this variance is crucial for:

However, analyzing MUV on closed jobs can be complex because it requires comparing the actual issues against the standard requirements at the time of completion, while also accounting for any Profit in Inventory (PII) if applicable.

Solution

This report generates a summary of material relief and variances by Inventory Organization and WIP Class. It provides a granular view of the material costs relieved from WIP, allowing cost accountants to audit the specific components driving the variance.

Key Features:

Architecture

The report joins WIP_DISCRETE_JOBS with WIP_REQUIREMENT_OPERATIONS to get the component details. It calculates the standard requirements based on the assembly completion quantity and compares this to the quantity actually issued.
