INV Item Relationships - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Item Relationships report documents the functional links between items. In Oracle Inventory, items can be related for various purposes: Substitutes (if A is out, ship B), Cross-Sells (if buying A, suggest B), Up-Sells, or Service Items (Warranty for Item A). This report is crucial for validating these setups, which directly impact Order Management and Planning.
Business Use Cases
- Substitute Management: Verifies that discontinued items have valid substitutes defined so orders don’t get stuck.
- Sales Effectiveness: Audits the “Cross-Sell” and “Up-Sell” relationships used by the telesales team.
- Spare Parts Mapping: Documents which service parts belong to which finished goods.
Technical Analysis
Core Tables
MTL_RELATED_ITEMS: The table storing the relationship (Item A -> Item B, Relationship Type).MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL: Item details for both the “From” and “To” items.
Key Joins & Logic
- Directionality: Relationships can be one-way or reciprocal. The report typically shows the “From” item and the “To” item.
- Effectiveness: Relationships have start and end dates; the report can filter for currently active links.
Key Parameters
- Item: Filter for a specific item.
- Organization Code: Relationships are organization-specific.

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.
