INV Stock Locators - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Stock Locators report is a warehouse layout document. It lists all the defined storage locations (Locators) within the subinventories. It includes critical attributes like dimensions, weight capacities, and picking order. This report is essential for warehouse mapping and capacity planning.
Business Challenge
A warehouse is a physical space that needs to be mapped digitally.
- Capacity Planning: “Do we have enough empty bins to receive the incoming shipment?”
- Route Optimization: “Are the bins numbered in a way that makes sense for a picker walking the aisle?”
- Status Control: “Which bins are damaged and should be blocked from use?”
Solution
The INV Stock Locators report provides a complete list of valid addresses in the warehouse. It exposes the configuration details of each bin.
Key Features:
- Address Breakdown: Shows the segments of the locator (e.g., Aisle-Row-Bin-Level).
- Physical Constraints: Lists the max weight, volume, and dimensions of the bin.
- Operational Flags: Shows the Picking Order (sequence) and Status (Active/Inactive).
Technical Architecture
The report queries the locator definition table.
Key Tables and Views
MTL_ITEM_LOCATIONS: The table storing the locator definitions.MTL_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES: The subinventory the locator belongs to.MTL_MATERIAL_STATUSES: The status of the locator (e.g., “Quarantine”).
Core Logic
- Retrieval: Selects from
MTL_ITEM_LOCATIONS(often joined withMTL_ITEM_LOCATIONS_KFVfor the concatenated segments). - Filtering: Can filter by Subinventory, Locator Type, or Status.
- Sorting: Usually sorted by Subinventory and then Picking Order.
Business Impact
- Warehouse Optimization: Used to analyze and optimize the picking path (by adjusting the Picking Order field).
- Space Management: Helps identify underutilized or over-utilized areas of the warehouse.
- Master Data Management: Ensures the digital map matches the physical labels on the racks.
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.
