INV Transaction Historical Summary - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Transaction Historical Summary report is a retrospective analysis tool. It allows users to “roll back” the clock and see what the inventory value or quantity was at a specific point in the past. This is essential for audit reconstruction and trend analysis.
Business Challenge
Standard on-hand reports only show the current balance. But businesses often ask:
- Audit: “What was the inventory value on December 31st at midnight?”
- Investigation: “Why did we run out of stock last Tuesday? How much did we have on Monday?”
- Trend: “What was our average inventory level for Q1 vs Q2?”
Solution
The INV Transaction Historical Summary report reconstructs the past balance by taking the current balance and “reversing” all transactions that happened since the target date.
Key Features:
- Rollback Logic: Calculates the balance as of a specific past date.
- Valuation: Can report on both Quantity and Value.
- Flexibility: Supports pivoting by Category or Subinventory.
Technical Architecture
This report uses a complex calculation engine (often involving temporary tables) to perform the rollback.
Key Tables and Views
MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS: The history of all movements.CST_INV_QTY_TEMP: Temporary table used to store the calculated past quantities.CST_INV_COST_TEMP: Temporary table used to store the calculated past costs.
Core Logic
- Current Balance: Starts with the current on-hand quantity.
- Reverse Transactions: Subtracts (or adds) the quantities of all transactions that occurred after the “Rollback Date”.
- Formula:
Historical Qty = Current Qty - (Sum of Inflows since Date) + (Sum of Outflows since Date)
- Formula:
- Costing: Applies the cost that was active at that historical date (for Standard Costing) or the calculated layer cost (for Average/FIFO).
Business Impact
- Audit Defense: The primary tool for proving the inventory balance at year-end if the period was not closed exactly on time.
- Performance Analysis: Helps analyze inventory turnover trends over time.
- Dispute Resolution: Resolves “he said, she said” arguments about stock availability in the past.
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.
