INV Default Category Sets - Case Study & Technical Analysis

Executive Summary

The INV Default Category Sets report is a configuration audit document. In Oracle EBS, different functional areas (Inventory, Purchasing, Costing, Order Management, etc.) can use different “Category Sets” to classify items. This report lists which Category Set is the “Default” for each functional area. It is essential for understanding how items are grouped for reporting and processing across the suite.

Business Use Cases

Implementation Audit: Verifies that the system is configured correctly (e.g., “Is the ‘Purchasing’ functional area using the ‘Purchasing Categories’ set?”).
Reporting Context: Helps analysts understand why an item might have a category of “Hardware” in an Inventory report but “IT Equipment” in a Purchasing report (different category sets).
Master Data Governance: Ensures consistency in how items are classified across the enterprise.

Technical Analysis

Core Tables

MTL_DEFAULT_CATEGORY_SETS: The mapping table between functional areas and category sets.
MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_V: Details of the category sets.
FND_LOOKUP_VALUES: Used to decode the FUNCTIONAL_AREA_ID (e.g., 1=Inventory, 2=Purchasing).

Key Joins & Logic

Functional Area Mapping: Joins the internal ID of the functional area to its readable name.
Structure Definition: Shows the Flexfield Structure associated with the category set.

Key Parameters

(None): Typically runs for the entire installation or filtered by organization if applicable (though default category sets are usually site/installation level).

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.

Blitz Report Dashboard

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.
