INV Cycle counts pending approval - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Cycle counts pending approval report is a workflow management tool for inventory supervisors. It lists all cycle count entries where the variance (difference between system and physical count) exceeds the pre-defined approval tolerances. These entries are “stuck” in a pending state until a manager reviews and approves (or rejects/recounts) them.
Business Use Cases
- Approval Workflow: The primary “inbox” for managers to review large adjustments before they hit the General Ledger.
- Fraud Detection: Large variances needing approval are often the first indicator of theft or significant process failures.
- Period Close: All pending approvals must be resolved before the inventory period can be closed effectively (or at least before the adjustments are reflected in finance).
Technical Analysis
Core Tables
MTL_CYCLE_COUNT_ENTRIES: The count entries.MTL_CYCLE_COUNT_HEADERS: Defines the approval tolerances.MTL_ABC_CLASSES: Used if tolerances are defined by ABC class.
Key Joins & Logic
- Status Filter: Filters for
ENTRY_STATUS_CODE= 2 (Pending Approval). - Tolerance Check: The system automatically places an entry in this status if:
ABS(Variance Qty) > Quantity ToleranceORABS(Variance Value) > Value Tolerance.
- Sorting: Often sorted by value to prioritize the biggest hits.
Key Parameters
- Cycle Count Name: The specific count definition.
- Sort By: Options usually include Item, Location, or Variance Value.
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.
