GL Period Status - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The GL Period Status report provides a centralized view of the accounting period statuses across all Oracle EBS modules (GL, AP, AR, PO, INV, etc.). It allows finance managers and system administrators to quickly verify which periods are Open, Closed, or Permanently Closed for specific ledgers and operating units. This report is a critical tool for managing the month-end close process efficiently.
Business Use Cases
- Month-End Close Monitoring: Provides a single dashboard to check if all subledgers (Payables, Receivables, Inventory) have been successfully closed before closing the General Ledger.
- Troubleshooting Posting Errors: Helps identify if a transaction failed to post because a specific module’s period was accidentally closed or never opened.
- Audit Compliance: Documents the precise status of periods at a given point in time, proving that periods were closed in a timely manner.
- Multi-Org Management: Essential for shared service centers managing dozens of entities, allowing them to see the status of all ledgers in one list.
Technical Analysis
Core Tables
GL_PERIOD_STATUSES: The primary table storing the status (O=Open,C=Closed,F=Future,N=Never Opened) for each application and period.FND_APPLICATION_VL: Resolves the Application ID to a name (e.g., “General Ledger”, “Payables”).GL_LEDGERS: Defines the ledger context.HR_OPERATING_UNITS: Links subledger statuses to their respective Operating Units.ORG_ACCT_PERIODS: (For Inventory) Stores the specific period statuses for Inventory Organizations.
Key Joins & Logic
- Cross-Module Aggregation: The query likely unions data from
GL_PERIOD_STATUSES(for financial modules) andORG_ACCT_PERIODS(for inventory) to provide a unified view. - Status Decoding: Translates the internal status codes (O, C, F, N, P) into user-friendly descriptions.
- Hierarchy Resolution: Links Inventory Orgs to Operating Units and Operating Units to Ledgers to allow filtering at any level of the organization structure.
Key Parameters
- Period From/To: The range of periods to check.
- Ledger: Filter by specific ledger.
- Application: Filter by specific module (e.g., show only “Payables” status).
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.
