INV Unit Of Measure Conversion Upload
Description:
INV Unit Of Measure Conversion Upload ============================= In R12.2 and later: This upload enables the user to
- upload new unit of measure conversions
- update existing unit of measure conversions.
The upload supports the following unit of measure conversion types:
- Standard, Intra-Class and Inter-Class, Lot Specific Inter-class
In R12.1: The functionality is restricted to creating new Item specific Intra-Class and Inter-Class conversions only. Update of existing unit of measure conversions is not supported in R12.1 Creation of Standard and Lot specific unit of measure conversions is not supported in R12.1
Parameters
Upload Mode, Conversion Type, From Unit of Measure Class, From Unit of Measure, To Unit of Measure Class, To Unit of Measure, Item, Lot Number
Used tables
mtl_uom_conversions, mtl_units_of_measure_vl, mtl_uom_classes_vl, mtl_system_items_vl, mtl_parameters, mtl_uom_class_conversions, mtl_lot_uom_class_conversions, uom_conv_qry

INV Unit Of Measure Conversion Upload - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The INV Unit Of Measure Conversion Upload is a master data management tool. It allows for the bulk creation and update of UOM conversions (e.g., “1 Box = 10 Each”). This is essential for companies with complex packaging hierarchies or those that buy in one UOM and issue in another.
Business Challenge
Managing UOM conversions is complex and critical.
- New Product Introduction: Launching a new product line often requires defining dozens of conversions (Pallet -> Case -> Box -> Each).
- Supplier Changes: “The supplier changed the box size from 12 to 10. We need to update the conversion for 50 items.”
- Data Integrity: If a conversion is missing, the system cannot receive the goods, stopping the warehouse receiving dock.
Solution
The INV Unit Of Measure Conversion Upload streamlines the maintenance of these rules. It supports Standard, Intra-Class, and Inter-Class conversions.
Key Features:
- Bulk Creation: Define conversions for hundreds of items at once.
- Lot Specific: (R12.2+) Supports Lot-Specific conversions (e.g., “Lot A has a potency of 90%”, “Lot B has a potency of 95%”).
- Update Capability: Allows updating existing conversion rates (R12.2+).
Technical Architecture
The tool interacts with the UOM conversion tables, often using the INV_UOM_API or direct interface tables.
Key Tables and Views
MTL_UOM_CONVERSIONS: Standard and Inter-Class conversions.MTL_UOM_CLASS_CONVERSIONS: Intra-Class conversions.MTL_LOT_UOM_CLASS_CONVERSIONS: Lot-specific conversions.
Core Logic
- Upload: Reads the Item, From UOM, To UOM, and Rate from Excel.
- Validation: Checks that the UOMs exist and the item is valid.
- Processing: Calls the API to create or update the conversion record.
Business Impact
- Operational Continuity: Ensures that receiving and shipping processes are not blocked by missing master data.
- Accuracy: Reduces the risk of “fat finger” errors when defining critical conversion factors (e.g., entering 100 instead of 10).
- Efficiency: Saves hours of manual setup time during product launches.
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.
