INV Safety Stocks - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Safety Stocks report is a master data report that lists the currently defined safety stock levels for items in an organization. It is the “System of Record” view, showing what the planning engine (MRP/ASCP) sees as the required buffer.
Business Challenge
Planners need to verify that the system is using the correct safety stock figures.
- Verification: “I uploaded the new safety stocks, but did they take effect?”
- Method Visibility: “Is this item using a fixed quantity (e.g., 100 units) or a dynamic calculation (e.g., 5 days of supply)?”
- Audit: “Why did MRP suggest we buy so much? Oh, the safety stock was set to 10,000 by mistake.”
Solution
The INV Safety Stocks report dumps the contents of the safety stock table. It shows the method, quantity, and effectivity dates for each item.
Key Features:
- Method Display: Shows if the safety stock is User Defined (MRP Planned) or Non-MRP Planned.
- Time Phasing: Shows the effective date range for the safety stock entry.
- Project Details: Includes Project and Task references for project-specific safety stock.
Technical Architecture
The report is a direct query of the safety stock definition table.
Key Tables and Views
MTL_SAFETY_STOCKS: The primary table.MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL: Item details.MTL_PARAMETERS: Organization details.
Core Logic
- Retrieval: Selects all records from
MTL_SAFETY_STOCKSfor the given organization. - Decoding: Translates the
SAFETY_STOCK_CODEinto readable text (e.g., 1 = User Defined, 2 = MRP Calculated). - Formatting: Presents the data in a list format suitable for review.
Business Impact
- Data Quality: Helps identify outliers (e.g., negative safety stocks or impossibly high numbers).
- Planning Accuracy: Ensures that the inputs to the planning engine are correct.
- Transparency: Provides visibility into one of the key drivers of inventory investment.
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.
