Executive Summary
The CST Period Close Subinventory Value report provides a historical snapshot of inventory value at the subinventory level, specifically aligned with the accounting period close. Unlike real-time on-hand reports, this report is designed to match the General Ledger balance for a closed period. It is a critical tool for the month-end reconciliation process.
Business Challenge
- GL Reconciliation: The GL Inventory account balance is a single number. To validate it, Finance needs a detailed breakdown that sums up to exactly that number for the closed period.
- Backdated Transactions: Real-time reports change constantly. This report captures the value as it stood at the period end, respecting the accounting date of transactions.
- Subinventory Analysis: Understanding which storage locations held the value at month-end.
Solution
This report lists the inventory value by subinventory for a specific closed period.
Key Features:
- Period-Based: Parameters are driven by the Accounting Period (e.g., “Jan-24”), ensuring alignment with the GL.
- Historical Accuracy: Uses the period-end snapshot data.
- Category Grouping: Can group items by category for high-level analysis.
Architecture
The report queries the CST_PERIOD_CLOSE_SUMMARY table, which is populated by the Period Close process.
Key Tables:
CST_PERIOD_CLOSE_SUMMARY: Stores the summarized value of inventory at period close.ORG_ACCT_PERIODS: Defines the accounting periods.MTL_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES: Subinventory definitions.
Impact
- Audit Compliance: Provides the “Sub-Ledger” detail required to support the General Ledger inventory balance.
- Reconciliation Speed: Drastically reduces the time spent investigating differences between the GL and the perpetual inventory records.
- Trend Analysis: Allows for month-over-month comparison of inventory levels by location.
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.
