Cost Accounting for Oracle EBS – Blitz Report version 3.2.6, April 27, 2023
Over the years I've given several SQL reporting scripts to the Oracle Community, for reconciling inventory to the G/L, summary and detail transaction reports, inventory value reports and even multiple ledger period open/close status reports. But in order for your Cost Accountants and staff to use them you had to take these SQL scripts and develop these reports using your own technical reporting tools, such as Oracle's BI Publisher. Now, in partnership with Enginatics, I've published over 90 fully configured Cost Accounting Reports, ready to use as soon as you install Blitz Report. With parameters that automatically default, such as transaction date ranges, period names, organization codes, and ledgers. Multi-org reports which naturally download into native Microsoft Excel. For most Oracle EBS configurations, including Project Manufacturing (PJM) and Warehouse Management (WMS), and even when using Category Accounting.  For more information please see Cost Accounting Reporting for Oracle EBS.
