INV Physical Inventory Purge Upload

Description:

This upload supports the purging of existing Physical Inventories.

For each Physical Inventory to be purged the user can select to purge the tags only, or to purge the full Physical Inventory.

On upload, the upload process will submit the standard ‘Purge physical inventory information’ concurrent program for each Physical Inventory to be purged.

To improve performance of the upload process, the upload does not wait for completion of the purge concurrent requests before completing.

The ‘Create, Update’ upload mode can be used to first download the Physical Inventories to be purged for initial review and selection.

Alternatively, the ‘Create’ upload mode can be used to generate an empty upload excel into which the details of the Physical Inventories to be purged can be pasted. In this mode the only columns that need to be populated in the excel are the Organization Code, Physical Inventory Name, and the Purge Option.

Parameters

Upload Mode, Default Purge Option, Organization Code, Physical Inventory, Physical Inventory Like, Physical Inventory Date From, Physical Inventory Date To, Phys. Inv. Date Older Than (Mths), Snapshot Complete

Used tables

mtl_physical_inventories_v, mtl_parameters, org_access_view

INV Physical Inventory Purge Upload - Case Study & Technical Analysis

Executive Summary

The INV Physical Inventory Purge Upload is a utility tool designed to clean up historical physical inventory data. Over time, the MTL_PHYSICAL_INVENTORIES and related tag tables can grow significantly, cluttering the system and slowing down performance. This tool allows for the bulk purging of old inventory counts.

Business Challenge

Oracle Inventory retains physical inventory history indefinitely unless explicitly purged.

Solution

The INV Physical Inventory Purge Upload provides an Excel-based interface to manage the purging process. Instead of running the purge program manually for each inventory, users can list them in Excel and upload the request.

Key Features:

Technical Architecture

This is a WebADI or Blitz Report Upload style tool that interfaces with the standard Oracle concurrent programs.

Key Tables and Views

Core Logic

  1. Upload: Reads the list of Physical Inventory Names and Organization Codes from Excel.
  2. Validation: Checks if the inventory exists and is in a state that allows purging.
  3. Execution: Submits the standard “Purge Physical Inventory” concurrent request for each valid row.

Business Impact

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.

Blitz Report Pivots

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.
