Executive Summary
The CST Periodic Inventory Value report is specifically designed for organizations using Periodic Average Costing (PAC). In PAC, costs are calculated for a specific period (e.g., a month) rather than perpetually. This report provides the inventory valuation based on these periodic costs. It is the PAC equivalent of the standard “Inventory Value Report”.
Business Challenge
- PAC Valuation: Standard inventory reports often use the Perpetual cost (Frozen/Average). PAC users need reports that reflect the specific periodic cost calculated by the PAC engine.
- Acquisition Costs: PAC often includes complex acquisition cost adders (freight, duty) that need to be visualized.
- Period-Specific: The value of an item changes from period to period in PAC; this report captures the value for a specific PAC period.
Solution
This report lists inventory quantities and values based on the Periodic Average Cost.
Key Features:
- PAC Period: Parameters allow selection of the specific Costing Period.
- Cost Group: PAC is often driven by Cost Groups; this report supports that structure.
- Receiving Value: Can also report on the value of goods in Receiving (using
CST_PAC_RECEIVING_VALUES_V).
Architecture
The report queries the PAC-specific tables, which are distinct from the perpetual costing tables.
Key Tables:
CST_PAC_ITEM_COSTS: Stores the calculated periodic item costs.CST_PAC_PERIODS: Defines the PAC periods.CST_COST_GROUPS: Cost groups used in PAC.CST_PAC_RECEIVING_VALUES_V: View for receiving value in PAC.
Impact
- Regulatory Compliance: Essential for companies in jurisdictions that require Periodic Average Costing (e.g., parts of Latin America).
- True Costing: Provides a valuation that smooths out short-term fluctuations and incorporates full acquisition costs.
- Financial Accuracy: Ensures the inventory value reported matches the specific methodology (PAC) used for the ledger.
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.
