INV Period Close Pending Transactions
Description:
Summary report to display the pending transaction counts as found in the Inventory Account Periods Close form, checking open receipts, pending shipments, failed inventory, WIP, etc
The Period Count shows the pending transactions occurring within the specified period.
The Period Close Count shows the count of pending transactions as at the scheduled period close date of the specified period.
The Period Close Count are the counts displayed in the Pending Transactions Inventory Account Periods Close Form.
This is the accumulated count of pending transactions upto the shceduled close date of the specified period, except for the count of ‘Unprocessed Shipping Transactions’ which are not carried over to the next period.
Period count queries are sourced from procedure CST_AccountingPeriod_PUB.Get_PendingTcount (CSTPAPEB.pls 120.18.12020000.8)

INV Period Close Pending Transactions - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Period Close Pending Transactions report is the “Pre-Flight Check” for the inventory month-end close. Before an accounting period can be closed, Oracle requires all transactions to be fully processed. This report identifies any “stuck” transactions (Unprocessed Material, Pending WIP, Uncosted items) that are blocking the close.
Business Challenge
The “Period Close” is often a stressful time. The system prevents closing if anything is pending, but finding what is pending can be like finding a needle in a haystack. Users struggle with:
- Vague Errors: The system says “Pending Transactions exist” but doesn’t say where.
- Interface Tables: Transactions might be stuck in an interface table (Open Interface, WIP Interface) that users can’t easily see.
- Uncosted Items: Transactions that processed physically but failed financially (e.g., missing cost).
Solution
The INV Period Close Pending Transactions report aggregates counts from all the various “holding areas” in the system. It replicates the logic of the “Pending Transactions” form but provides a printable, shareable format.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Check: Checks Material Transactions, WIP Move Transactions, Uncosted Transactions, Pending Shipping, and Receiving Interfaces.
- Count Summary: Shows the count of stuck records in each category.
- Drill-Down: (In some versions) Provides details on the specific IDs that are stuck.
Technical Architecture
The report queries a series of interface and temporary tables that act as queues for the inventory processors.
Key Tables and Views
MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP: The primary queue for on-line processing.MTL_TRANSACTIONS_INTERFACE: The queue for open interface / background processing.WIP_COST_TXN_INTERFACE: Pending resource transactions.RCV_TRANSACTIONS_INTERFACE: Pending receipts.WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS: Pending shipments (not yet interfaced).
Core Logic
- Union Query: The report runs a series of
SELECT COUNT(*)queries against each interface table. - Date Filtering: It only counts transactions that fall within the period being closed.
- Resolution: If the count > 0, the period cannot close.
Business Impact
- Faster Close: Pinpoints the exact blockers so they can be fixed immediately.
- Data Integrity: Ensures that all activity for the month is fully accounted for before the books are closed.
- Stress Reduction: Eliminates the “mystery” of why the period won’t close.
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.
