INV Physical Inventory Adjustments - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Physical Inventory Adjustments report is the financial audit trail for the physical inventory process. Once the counting is done and the variances are approved, this report details the actual adjustments made to the inventory balances. It serves as the primary document for the finance team to reconcile the Inventory GL account.
Business Challenge
When a physical inventory is finalized, the system automatically posts adjustments to correct the on-hand balances. Finance needs to know:
- Total Value: “What is the net value of the inventory write-off?”
- Approvals: “Were these large adjustments approved by the correct manager?”
- GL Impact: “Which GL accounts were hit by these adjustments?”
Solution
The INV Physical Inventory Adjustments report lists every adjustment transaction generated by the physical inventory. It groups them by adjustment account to facilitate GL reconciliation.
Key Features:
- Detailed Listing: Shows Item, Subinventory, Locator, Lot, Serial, and Quantity Adjusted.
- Financial Values: Displays the Unit Cost and Total Value of the adjustment.
- Approver Tracking: (If configured) Shows who approved the adjustment.
Technical Architecture
The report queries the adjustment history tables. These records are created when the “Post Physical Inventory Adjustments” program is run.
Key Tables and Views
MTL_PHYSICAL_ADJUSTMENTS: The core table storing the adjustment transactions.MTL_PHYSICAL_INVENTORIES: The parent physical inventory record.MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL: Item details.
Core Logic
- Selection: Retrieves records from
MTL_PHYSICAL_ADJUSTMENTSfor the given Physical Inventory name. - Sorting: Can be sorted by value to highlight the most significant adjustments first.
- Filtering: Options to include or exclude rejected adjustments.
Business Impact
- Financial Reconciliation: The “Source of Truth” for explaining the “Physical Inventory Adjustment” line on the P&L.
- Loss Prevention: Helps identify high-value losses that may indicate theft or process failure.
- Audit Trail: Provides a permanent record of why inventory balances were changed.

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.
