ERP - Create BI reports with Parameters and Dependent LOVs

Usecase: Here, we will create a BI report with parameters and also create dependent LOVs. We will fetch invoice_num,source and description from ap_invoices_all table using p_source and p_inv_num parameters and here, LOV of invoice num will be depended on the parameter p_source.

logic steps:

• Create 2 parameters - p_source and p_inv_num which will be pointing to the following 2 LOVs
• p_source => source_lov
• p_inv_num => inv_num_lov
• Create 2 LOVs where inv_num_lov depended on p_source
• source_lov = select distinct source from ap_invoives_all
• inv_num_lov = select invoice_num from ap_invoices_all where source =:p_source
• Create data set using sql query
• Select invoice_num,source, description from ap_invoices_all where source=nvl(:p_source,source) and invoice_num=nvl(:p_inv_num,invoice_num)
• Create report based on this data model.
