On-hand inventory value broken down per Oracle Inventory Cloud organisation. Shows where working capital is tied up across the network.

At a glance

The on-hand value of inventory split by Oracle Inventory Cloud organisation, valued at the cost method configured for each org (typically Average Cost for distribution and Standard Cost for manufacturing in Fortune 500 implementations). Where the Total Inventory Value card gives the single consolidated number, this card answers the next question every operations leader asks: which warehouse, plant, or distribution centre is holding it. It is the working-capital heat map across the physical network.

What it counts	On-hand quantity multiplied by unit cost, summed within each inventory organisation and then presented org by org. Includes finished goods, raw materials, and WIP (where the Manufacturing module is enabled). Excludes consigned stock owned by suppliers, in-transit not yet received into an org, and customer-owned inventory.
Currency	Multi-Ledger architecture: each org’s value is held in its ledger currency and translated to the reporting currency at the configured cost-rate FX. The bar chart can show native or consolidated currency depending on the dashboard filter.
Cost method	Respects the method configured per inventory org. Average Cost (common in distribution) revalues with each receipt; Standard Cost (common in manufacturing) holds steady with variances posted separately.
Inventory Org scope	Card respects the dashboard’s selected Business Unit and inventory-org filter. By default rolls up every inventory org the connected role can see, then breaks the total out by org.
Time window	Real-time snapshot (RT).
Alert trigger	None by default. Pair with Inventory Turnover Ratio and Slow-Moving Items for actionable signals at the org level.
Roles	owner, operations, finance

Calculation

Calculated automatically from your Oracle ERP Cloud data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

Worked example

A US Fortune 500 omnichannel home-goods retailer on Oracle ERP Cloud plus Oracle Inventory Cloud, running nine inventory organisations across two ledgers. Snapshot 12 Apr 26. Reporting ledger is the US ledger (USD).

Inventory org	Type	On-hand value (USD, as-configured cost)
US-DC-EAST (Atlanta)	Distribution	$92,400,000
US-DC-WEST (Reno)	Distribution	$71,800,000
US-DC-CENTRAL (Dallas)	Distribution	$43,100,000
MX-PLANT-01 (Monterrey assembly)	Manufacturing	$24,600,000
UK-DC-01 (Daventry)	Distribution	$28,900,000
NL-DC-01 (Venlo)	Distribution	$19,500,000
Total across all orgs		$280,300,000

Five things to notice:

1. Atlanta and Reno hold 59% of working capital. US-DC-EAST and US-DC-WEST together carry $164.2M of the$280.3M total. A single overstock decision in either of these two orgs moves the consolidated Balance Sheet meaningfully, which is exactly why the org-level breakout matters more than the headline number for operations planning.
2. The Monterrey plant carries Standard Cost, the DCs carry Average Cost. MX-PLANT-01 is a manufacturing org and uses Standard Cost, so its $24.6M is held at the engineered standard with purchase-price and usage variances posted to separate variance accounts. The DCs use Average Cost and revalue with every receipt. The card sums each org as-configured, so the bars are not strictly like-for-like cost bases. This is normal in a mixed Fortune 500 estate.
3. EU orgs carry FX exposure. UK-DC-01 and NL-DC-01 together hold $48.4M, valued in GBP and EUR at the local ledger and translated to USD at the configured cost rate. A 5$2.4M with no physical change to stock. Pair with FX Currency Exposure.
4. Dallas is the rebalancing candidate. US-DC-CENTRAL at $43.1M is the smallest US distribution org but its Inventory Turnover Ratio reads lower than East and West, which usually signals stock parked in the wrong location rather than genuine demand. Cross-reference Slow-Moving Items filtered to this org.
5. Cycle-count health is per org. Each inventory org runs its own Cycle Count program on its own ABC cadence. An org with overdue counts drifts from physical reality independently of the others, so a single bar can be stale while the rest of the chart is accurate.

Sibling cards merchants should reference together

Inventory Value by Inventory Org tells you where the stock sits. Pair it with these to understand whether each location is healthy.

Card	Why pair it with Inventory Value by Inventory Org
Total Inventory Value	The consolidated total this card breaks down. The sum of the bars equals the headline.
On-Hand Inventory Value (by Inventory Org)	The executive-overview roll-up of the same on-hand value, framed for the working-capital headline.
Inventory Aging	The aging curve inside each org. A large bar with old stock is a write-down risk; a large bar with fast turns is healthy.
Slow-Moving Items (>90d no movement)	The trapped-cash subset within each org’s total.
Inventory Turnover Ratio	Velocity per org tells you whether a high bar is efficient or bloated.
Inventory Carrying Cost	What each org’s stockpile costs per period in capital, warehousing, and insurance.
Top SKUs by Inventory Value	The Pareto view; usually a handful of SKUs drive most of an org’s value.

Reconciling against Oracle ERP Cloud

Where to look in Oracle ERP Cloud:

Navigator → Inventory → Reports → Inventory Value Report (run per inventory organisation) Navigator → Cost Management → Inventory Valuation Report (audit-grade, period-end, per org) Reports and Analytics → OTBI → Inventory Real Time Subject Area → On Hand Value (group by Inventory Organisation)

The Inventory Value Report run per org at the same snapshot date should match each bar to within rounding. The Cost Management Inventory Valuation Report is the audit version that locks period-end values per org for financial-close use. OTBI grouped by inventory organisation is the fastest way for operations teams to reproduce the chart.

Common mistakes when comparing against Oracle’s own reports:

• Running the report at Business Unit level instead of inventory org. A Business Unit can span several inventory orgs. Comparing a BU-level total against a single bar will never reconcile. Match the scope exactly.
• Forgetting subinventory exclusions. Some implementations exclude Quarantine, Damage, or Hold subinventories from reported value. The card includes all subinventories by default, so an org with a large quarantine bin can read higher than a filtered report.
• Comparing a live snapshot against a locked period-end valuation. The card is real-time; the Inventory Valuation Report is fiscal-close locked. Mid-period the bars move with each receipt and shipment.

Why our number may legitimately differ from Oracle’s reports:

Reason	Direction	Why
Sync timing vs period close	Either	Card is real-time; the period-end valuation is locked at fiscal close. Mid-period the org bars move with every receipt and shipment.
Cost method per org	Either	Average Cost revalues with each receipt; Standard Cost holds with variances posted separately. The card respects the election per org, so two orgs with the same physical stock can show different values.
Subinventory inclusion	Either	Card includes all subinventories by default; a report that excludes Quarantine or Damage bins reads lower. The field map can override.
Landed Cost timing	Card may understate	If Landed Cost Management has unprocessed import documents for an org, duty and freight have not yet rolled into that org’s unit costs.
In-transit attribution	Either	In-transit between orgs is excluded by default. A report that books in-transit to the receiving org early will differ.

Known limitations / merchant FAQs

Why does the sum of the bars not exactly match my Balance Sheet inventory line? The Balance Sheet line is a period-close locked figure; this card is live. Mid-period they diverge with each receipt and shipment, then converge at fiscal close. The Balance Sheet may also include in-transit and consigned-with-ownership lines that this card excludes by default.

Average Cost vs Standard Cost, why do similar orgs show different values? Because the card respects the cost method configured per inventory org. A distribution org on Average Cost revalues continuously; a manufacturing org on Standard Cost holds the engineered standard and posts variances elsewhere. Two orgs with identical physical stock can therefore show different bar heights. This is correct Oracle Fusion behaviour, not a card error.

Does this include consigned inventory sitting in my warehouse? No by default. Consigned stock is owned by the supplier until you draw it down, so it is not your Balance Sheet asset and does not appear in any org’s bar. If your implementation uses Vendor Managed Inventory with an ownership flag set to yours, it does count.

Why does an org show WIP value? Because the Manufacturing module is enabled for that org. WIP captures partially-converted material plus absorbed labour and overhead. It appears only for manufacturing orgs and disappears into finished goods on completion.

How does the card handle inter-org transfers in transit? In-transit between two of your orgs is excluded from both the sending and receiving org until the receipt is recorded. This avoids double-counting, but it means a large in-transit shipment temporarily disappears from both bars. The consolidated total still nets correctly once the receipt posts.

Can I see this in native currency instead of consolidated USD? Yes. The dashboard filter toggles between each org’s native ledger currency and the consolidated reporting currency. Native is best for local operations teams; consolidated is best for the corporate working-capital view.

My OTBI grouped report shows a slightly different total per org, why? OTBI typically refreshes on a different cadence to our 15-minute REST API pull, and OTBI’s default subject area may apply a subinventory or ownership filter your implementation configured. Align the filters and the snapshot time and the two converge.
