You can view complete details of specific transactions that are preventing period close. Such transactions are spread across various products including Oracle Inventory (INV), Oracle Work in Process (WIP), Oracle Shop Floor Management (OSFM), and Oracle Purchasing. Identifying these transactions is a critical step during period close.
The following transactions must be processed for closing a period:
Unprocessed material transactions.
Uncosted material transactions (including uncosted Warehouse Management transactions).
Pending Work in Process costing transactions.
Pending WSM (OSFM) interface transactions.
Pending Landed Cost adjustment transactions.
Pending shipping transactions.
Note: When closing a period, it is not required to close pending shipping transactions if the Period Close Check for Shipping Transactions client extension (CST_PeriodCloseOption_PUB.Get_ShippingTxnHook_Value) specifies Resolution Recommended. Resolution can be optional. See: Period Close Check for Shipping Transactions.
The following transactions will not prevent period close, but may cause problems if they are not processed before closing the period:
Pending material interface transactions.
Pending Work in Process move transactions.
Pending receiving transactions
Incomplete eAM work orders
Links are provided to specific windows of different Oracle products to display the details of pending, errored, or uncosted transactions. From the Inventory Accounting Periods window, select Pending to go to the Pending Transactions window. From this window, you can select the Open button to link to specific windows, reports, or pages to view pending, errored, or uncosted transactions. The windows, reports, or pages that you link to are determined by your cursor position when you select Open.

System alerts are posted to Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) console and are sent to subscribed administrators through workflow notifications. System alerts also gather a variety of context information about the user, the logging process, the operating system, and so on. Oracle Applications Manager tracks multiple occurrences of the same alert message to prevent duplicate notifications to be sent. System alerts require setting up the profile option FND:Debug Log Enabled to a value of 'Y'.
For Period Close Diagnostics, system alerts are raised when costing of transactions fails in the cost manager. One alert is raised for each cost worker where transaction(s) failed costing - not for each failed transaction. Based on the subscriptions created in the application, the application notifies users through workflow notifications. You can view details by selecting an Alert Occurrence and choosing View Details. The User Interface (UI) provides drill-down capabilities for viewing transactions and transaction details.
