How to Balance the Inventory Valuation Accounts
Use the Inventory Valuation Reports to get the month-end balances
for both your subinventories and (R12) intransit
Or, use the Period Close Reconciliation Report
Also use the Period Close Value Summary Report
You can also use the Transaction Historical Summary Report
Transaction Historical Summary Report Standard Costing
Transaction Historical Summary Report Average Costing
For monthly totals use the Material Distribution Summary Report
For Release 12 use the Journal Entries Cost Management Report

Corrective action:
Corrective actions:
Reverse subledger entry if possible, or correct via manual GL
entry.
Manual GL Journal Entries
Corrective actions:
Include as a reconciling item on your G/L to inventory reconciliation
If applicable, reverse next month and replace with the required
detailed material or WIP transactions
Back-dated Transactions from External Systems
Corrective actions:
Release 11i: Enter a manual reversing journal entry
Release 12: Rerun the respective Inventory Value Report
Delivering Goods to a Closed Work Order
Oracle provides us with the ability to receive Outside Processing (OSP) vendor
receipts to closed work orders
Release 12 patches to stop this (as of Feb-2011):
Corrective actions:
Reopen the work order and make corrections
Can only do if the inventory period is not closed
If you cannot reopen the work order:
delete the transaction from the Open Receiving Interface and manually
accrue the WIP job charge into the G/L
Log an Oracle Service Request to delete / correct your invalid receiving
balance
Sharing System Accounts
Sharing System Accounts:
Expense and Inventory Accrual Accounts
Receiving Valuation Accounts
Organization Level Accounts (Average, FIFO, LIFO Costing)
Subinventory Accounts (Standard Costing)
Cost Group Accounts (Project Mfg, WMS)
WIP Accounting Classes
Inventory Account Aliases
Order Types and COGS
User-defined Subledger Accounting Rules
Corrective actions:
Typically back-end SQL*PLUS fixes for Organization, Subinventory,
WIP or Cost Group account changes
Most other changes can be done via the forms or setup screens
Note: Oracle Support advice may be too conservative (new orgs, new
subinventories, issue all goods out, close all work orders, etc.)
Initial Legacy GL balances to do not Match
Oracle Perpetual
You went live with Oracle and:
You never reconciled G/L to Perpetual on your prior system
If your initial onhand quantity conversion was wrong and never
corrected
You never reconciled your G/L to Perpetual post GoLive
Corrective actions:
All Releases:
Correct your perpetual balances using inventory material
transactions
Correct your G/L balances with manual journal entries
Misleading Inquiry Parameters
Oracle uses Between for selecting transactions on the
material distributions inquiry, as opposed to Greater
than or equal to:
Whyenter
01Jan201100:00:00?
Shouldntthisbe
31Dec201023:59:59?
Out-of-Balance Item Costs (Standard Costing)
You went live with Oracle and your item costs do not
balance (poor item conversion or custom programs):
The Discrete Job Value Report will not tie to the WIP Job
Balances, or even to itself
Forms Drilldown
Using the same Inventory Accounting Periods form you can
drilldown to associated forms to view the problem transactions

Sample G/L to Inventory Reconciliation Script
Automatically Compares:
G/L to Inventory Perpetual (sum G/L JE Lines vs. Period Close Summary)
G/L to Intransit Perpetual (sum G/L JE Lines vs. Period Close Summary)
G/L to WIP Period-End Balances (sum G/L JE Lines vs. WIP Period Balances)
Caveats:
Only considers Discrete Costing, not OPM
Uses a MFG lookup code to select the desired accounts
Needs to be tailored to your chart of accounts
Sample version does not handle Receiving (no snapshot)
Sample version assumes same accounts across cost elements
