INV Material Transactions Summary - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Material Transactions Summary report provides a high-level view of inventory activity by aggregating individual transactions into meaningful buckets. Instead of listing every single receipt or issue (which can run into millions of rows), this report summarizes the data by Item, Transaction Type, and Date, allowing for rapid trend analysis and volume assessment.
Business Challenge
Analyzing raw transaction data can be overwhelming due to volume. Managers often need to answer high-level questions without wading through millions of records:
- Volume Analysis: “How many units of Item X did we ship last month vs. this month?”
- Activity Monitoring: “Which subinventories have the highest transaction velocity?”
- Reconciliation: “Does the total issued quantity match the production report?”
Solution
The INV Material Transactions Summary report aggregates the raw data from MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS to provide a concise summary. It allows users to drill down from the organization level to the subinventory and item level.
Key Features:
- Flexible Aggregation: Summarizes by Item, Subinventory, Transaction Type, or Source.
- Trend Identification: Makes it easy to spot spikes or drops in usage.
- Performance: Runs significantly faster than the detailed transaction register for long date ranges.
Technical Architecture
The report performs a dynamic aggregation of the transaction history table.
Key Tables and Views
MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS: The source of the raw data.MTL_TRANSACTION_TYPES: Grouping criteria (e.g., “PO Receipt”).MTL_TXN_SOURCE_TYPES: Grouping criteria (e.g., “Purchase Order”).MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL: Item details.
Core Logic
- Grouping: The query uses
GROUP BYclauses on Item, Subinventory, and Transaction Type. - Summation: Calculates
SUM(PRIMARY_QUANTITY)andSUM(TRANSACTION_QUANTITY)for each group. - Filtering: Applies standard filters for Organization, Date, and Category.
Business Impact
- Decision Support: Provides the “Big Picture” view needed for strategic inventory decisions.
- Efficiency: Saves hours of time compared to exporting and pivoting raw transaction logs in Excel.
- System Performance: Reduces the load on the database by returning a smaller result set.
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.
