The MTL_CC_SCHEDULE_REQUESTS table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 is a critical repository for tracking and managing cycle count scheduling requests within the Inventory module. Cycle counting is a key inventory control process that ensures data accuracy by periodically validating physical inventory against system records. This table serves as a staging area for cycle count requests before they are processed and executed by the system. ### **Table Structure and Key Columns** The MTL_CC_SCHEDULE_REQUESTS table contains several important columns that facilitate the cycle count scheduling process:

  • REQUEST_ID: A unique identifier for each cycle count request.
  • ORGANIZATION_ID: The inventory organization where the cycle count is performed.
  • CYCLE_COUNT_HEADER_ID: References the parent cycle count definition (MTL_CYCLE_COUNT_HEADERS).
  • SCHEDULE_DATE: The date when the cycle count is scheduled to run.
  • STATUS: Indicates the processing state (e.g., PENDING, PROCESSED, ERROR).
  • LAST_UPDATE_DATE & LAST_UPDATED_BY: Audit columns tracking modifications.
  • CREATION_DATE & CREATED_BY: Audit columns recording initial entry.
  • ITEM_ID: The specific item being counted (if applicable).
  • SUBINVENTORY: The subinventory location where the count occurs.
  • LOCATOR_ID: The precise locator within the subinventory.
### **Functional Role in Cycle Counting** The table acts as an intermediary between cycle count setup (MTL_CYCLE_COUNT_HEADERS) and execution (MTL_CYCLE_COUNT_ENTRIES). When a cycle count is scheduled—either manually or via automated rules—a record is inserted into MTL_CC_SCHEDULE_REQUESTS. The Oracle Inventory Concurrent Manager processes these requests, generating count entries in MTL_CYCLE_COUNT_ENTRIES for execution by warehouse personnel. ### **Integration with Other Modules** The table interacts with:
  • Inventory Management: Links to MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B for item details.
  • Warehouse Management: References MTL_ITEM_LOCATIONS for locator data.
  • Concurrent Processing: Uses Oracle’s concurrent request framework (FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS) for job scheduling.
### **Technical Considerations**
  • Indexing: Optimized for queries on ORGANIZATION_ID, STATUS, and SCHEDULE_DATE.
  • Purge Mechanism: Processed requests may be archived or purged via standard Inventory cleanup programs.
  • Custom Extensions: Enterprises often extend this table for additional attributes like priority flags or custom approval workflows.
### **Conclusion** The MTL_CC_SCHEDULE_REQUESTS table is a foundational component of Oracle EBS’s cycle counting functionality, ensuring systematic and auditable inventory validation. Its design supports scalability, integration with core inventory tables, and efficient processing via Oracle’s concurrent request infrastructure. Understanding its structure and behavior is essential for troubleshooting cycle count issues, optimizing performance, and extending functionality in custom implementations.
