INV Item Default Transaction Subinventories - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Item Default Transaction Subinventories report lists the default subinventory assigned to an item. Similar to the Locator report, this defines the “Home” subinventory for an item. It is used to restrict where an item can be transacted or to provide a default value during receiving and miscellaneous transactions.
Business Use Cases
- Putaway Logic: Defines the primary storage area for an item (e.g., “Cold Storage” vs. “Dry Goods”).
- Transaction Control: Can be used in conjunction with “Restrict Subinventories” flag on the Item Master to prevent users from putting items in the wrong place.
- Min-Max Planning: Often used to define which subinventory is replenished for a specific item.
Technical Analysis
Core Tables
MTL_ITEM_SUB_DEFAULTS: The table storing the default subinventory code for an item.MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL: Item master.
Key Joins & Logic
- Organization Specific: Defaults are specific to an Inventory Organization.
- Relationship: This is a simple 1:Many relationship (One Item can have defaults in multiple Orgs, but usually one default per Org/Type).
Key Parameters
- Item: Filter for a specific item.
- Subinventory: Filter for a specific subinventory.
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.
