INV Material Movements - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Material Movements report provides a flow-based view of inventory. Unlike a static “On-Hand” report (snapshot in time) or a “Transaction Register” (list of events), this report combines both to show the flux of inventory: Opening Balance + In - Out = Closing Balance. It is essential for analyzing inventory turnover and understanding the velocity of material through the warehouse.
Business Challenge
Understanding why inventory levels changed is often harder than knowing what the level is. Managers struggle with:
- Unexplained Variance: “We had 100 units last week, now we have 50. Did we sell them or scrap them?”
- Slow Moving Identification: Identifying items that have high stock but zero movement (In or Out).
- Flow Analysis: Understanding the ratio of Receipts vs. Returns vs. Adjustments.
Solution
The INV Material Movements report calculates the material flow for a specific period. It categorizes movements into “In” (Receipts, WIP Completions) and “Out” (Shipments, WIP Issues) to provide a clear picture of activity.
Key Features:
- Balance Roll-Forward: Calculates Opening and Closing balances dynamically based on the transaction history.
- Movement Categorization: Groups transactions into logical buckets (e.g., “Sales”, “Production”, “Adjustments”).
- Turnover Insight: High “Out” movement relative to average stock indicates healthy turnover.
Technical Architecture
This report is computationally intensive as it often has to reconstruct historical balances from the transaction log.
Key Tables and Views
MTL_ONHAND_QUANTITIES_DETAIL: Current on-hand stock (the starting point for reverse calculation).MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS: The history of all movements.ORG_ORGANIZATION_DEFINITIONS: Organization context.
Core Logic
- Current State: Determines the current on-hand quantity from
MTL_ONHAND_QUANTITIES_DETAIL. - Rollback/Rollforward: To find the balance at a past date, the report sums all transactions after that date and subtracts them from the current balance (or adds them, depending on the direction).
- Aggregation: Sums the
PRIMARY_QUANTITYof transactions within the period, grouped by Transaction Type (In vs. Out).
Business Impact
- Inventory Optimization: Helps identify items with high stock but low movement (candidates for disposal).
- Planning Accuracy: Provides actual consumption data to validate planning parameters.
- Loss Prevention: Highlights abnormal “Adjustment” movements that may indicate process failures or theft.
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.
