INV Transaction Types - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Transaction Types report is a configuration document that lists all the defined “Actions” that can be performed on inventory. Examples include “PO Receipt”, “Subinventory Transfer”, “Miscellaneous Issue”, and “WIP Assembly Return”. This report defines the rules for each action.
Business Challenge
Transaction Types control the financial and operational behavior of a movement.
- Financial Impact: “Does this ‘Sample Issue’ hit the Marketing Expense account or the Scrap account?”
- Process Control: “Does this ‘RMA Receipt’ require a Quality Inspection?”
- Location Control: “Can I perform this transaction in a WMS-enabled organization?”
Solution
The INV Transaction Types report details the setup of each transaction type. It shows the link between the user-facing name (e.g., “Misc Issue”) and the system behavior (e.g., “Issue from Stores”).
Key Features:
- Action Definition: Shows the “Source Type” (e.g., Inventory) and “Action” (e.g., Issue from Stores).
- Financial Flags: Indicates if the transaction is “Project Enabled” or “Location Required”.
- Status Control: Shows if the transaction is valid for certain material statuses.
Technical Architecture
The report queries the transaction type definition table.
Key Tables and Views
MTL_TRANSACTION_TYPES: The master table for transaction definitions.MTL_TXN_SOURCE_TYPES: The source type linked to the transaction.
Core Logic
- Retrieval: Selects all records from
MTL_TRANSACTION_TYPES. - Context: Joins to
MTL_TXN_SOURCE_TYPESto explain the source. - Validation: Checks flags for Status Control and Location Control.
Business Impact
- Process Standardization: Ensures that everyone uses the correct transaction type for a given business scenario (e.g., using “Scrap Issue” instead of “Misc Issue”).
- Financial Accuracy: Ensures that transactions drive the correct accounting entries.
- System Governance: Documents the allowed inventory movements for audit purposes.
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.
