CHAPTER
1 Introduction
T he Oracle Quality Technical Reference Manual provides the

information you need to understand the underlying structure of
Oracle Quality. After reading this manual, you should be able to
convert your existing applications data, integrate your existing
applications with Oracle Quality, and write custom reports for Oracle
Quality, as well as read data that you need to perform other tasks.
This chapter introduces you to the Oracle Quality Technical Reference
Manual, and explains how to use it.
Introduction 1–1
Introduction
At Oracle, we design and build applications using Oracle Designer, our
systems design technology that provides a complete environment to
support developers through all stages of a systems life cycle. Because
we use a repository–based design toolset, all the information regarding
the underlying structure and processing of our applications is available
to us online. Using Oracle Designer, we can present this information to
you in the form of a technical reference manual.
This Oracle Quality Technical Reference Manual contains detailed,
up–to–date information about the underlying structure of Oracle
Quality. As we design and build new releases of Oracle Quality, we
update our Oracle Designer repository to reflect our enhancements. As
a result, we can always provide you with an Oracle Quality Technical
Reference Manual that contains the latest technical information as of the
publication date. Note that after the publication date we may have
added new indexes to Oracle Quality to improve performance.
About this Manual

This manual describes the Oracle Applications Release 11i data model,
as used by Quality; it discusses the database we include with a fresh
install of Oracle Applications Release 11i. If you have not yet upgraded
to Release 11i, your database may differ from the database we
document in this book.
If you have upgraded from a previous release, you might find it helpful
to use this manual with the appropriate Oracle Applications Product
Update Notes manual. The product update notes list database changes
and seed data changes in Oracle Quality between releases. The Oracle
Applications Product Update Notes Release 11 manual describes the
changes between Release 10.7 and Release 11, and the Oracle
Applications Product Update Notes Release 11i manual describes the
changes between Release 11 and Release 11i.
You can contact your Oracle representative to confirm that you have
the latest technical information for Quality. You can also use
OracleMetaLink which is accessible through Oracle’s Support Web
Center (http://www.oracle.com/support/elec_sup).
Finding the Latest Information

The Oracle Quality Technical Reference Manual contains the latest
information as of the publication date. For the latest information we
1–2 Oracle Quality Technical Reference Manual

encourage you to use OracleMetaLink which is accessible through
Oracle’s Support Web Center (http://www.oracle.com/support/elec_sup).
Audience
The Oracle Quality Technical Reference Manual provides useful guidance
and assistance to:
• Technical End Users
• Consultants
• Systems Analysts
• System Administrators
• Other MIS professionals
This manual assumes that you have a basic understanding of
structured analysis and design, and of relational databases. It also
assumes that you are familiar with Oracle Application Object Library
and Oracle Quality. If you are not familiar with the above products, we
suggest that you attend one or more of the training classes available
through Oracle Education (see: Other Information Sources: page
1 – 7).
How This Manual is Organized

This manual contains two major sections, High–Level Design and
Detailed Design.
High–Level Design
This section, Chapter 2, contains database diagrams and lists each
database table and view that Quality uses. This chapter also has a list
of modules.
Detailed Design
This section, Chapter 3, contains a detailed description of the Quality
database design, including information about each database table and
view you might need for your custom reporting or other data
requirements.
Introduction 1–3
How to Use This Manual
The Oracle Quality Technical Reference Manual is a single, centralized
source for all the information you need to know about the underlying
structure and processing of Oracle Quality. For example, you can use
this manual when you need to:
• Convert existing application data
• Integrate your Quality application with your other applications
systems
• Write custom reports
• Define alerts against Oracle Applications tables
• Configure your Oracle Self–Service Web Applications
• Create views for decision support queries using query tools
• Create business views for Oracle Discoverer
You need not read this manual cover to cover. Use the table of contents
and index to quickly locate the information you need.
How Not To Use This Manual
Do not use this manual to plan modifications

You should not use this manual to plan modifications to Oracle Quality.
Modifying Oracle Quality limits your ability to upgrade to future
releases of your Quality application. In addition, it interferes with our
ability to give you the high–quality support you deserve.
We have constructed Oracle Quality so that you can customize it to fit
your needs without programming, and you can integrate it with your
existing applications through interface tables. However, should you
require program modifications, you should contact our support team
(see: Other Information Sources: page 1 – 7). They can put you in
touch with Oracle Services, the professional consulting organization of
Oracle. Their team of experienced applications professionals can make
the modifications you need while ensuring upward compatibility with
future product releases.

Do not write data into non–interface tables
Oracle reserves the right to change the structure of Oracle Applications
tables, and to change the meaning of, add, or delete lookup codes and
data in future releases. Do not write data directly into or change data
in non–interface tables using SQL*Plus or other programming tools
because you risk corrupting your database and interfering with our
ability to support you.
Moreover, this version of the Oracle Quality Technical Reference Manual
does not contain complete information about the dependencies
between Quality applications tables. Therefore, you should write data
into only those tables we identify as interface tables. If you write data
into other non–interface tables, you risk violating your data integrity
since you might not fulfill all the data dependencies in your Quality
application.
You are responsible for the support and upgrade of the logic within the
procedures that you write, which may be affected by changes between
releases of Oracle Applications.
Do not rely on upward compatibility of the data model

Oracle reserves the right to change the structure of Oracle Quality
tables, and to change the meaning of, add, or delete lookup codes and
other data in future releases. We do not guarantee the upward
compatibility of the Oracle Quality data model. For example, if you
write a report that identifies concurrent requests that end in Error
status by selecting directly from Oracle Application Object Library
tables, we do not guarantee that your report will work properly after
an upgrade.
About Oracle Application Object Library

The Oracle Quality Technical Reference Manual may contain references to
tables that belong to Oracle Application Object Library. Oracle
Application Object Library is a collection of pre–built application
components and facilities for building Oracle Applications and
extensions to Oracle Applications. Oracle Application Coding
Standards use the Oracle Application Object Library and contains
shared components including but not limited to –– forms, subroutines,
concurrent programs and reports, database tables and objects,
messages, menus, responsibilities, flexfield definitions and online help.
Introduction 1–5
☞ Attention: Oracle does not support any customization of
Oracle Application Object Library tables or modules, not even
by Oracle consultants. (Oracle Application Object Library
tables generally have names beginning with FND_%.)
Accordingly, this manual does not contain detailed information
about most Oracle Application Object Library tables used by
Oracle Quality.
A Few Words About Terminology

The following list provides you with definitions for terms that we use
throughout this manual:
Relationship
A relationship describes any significant way in which two tables may
be associated. For example, rows in the Journal Headers table may
have a one–to–many relationship with rows in the Journal Lines table.
Database Diagram
A database diagram is a graphic representation of application tables
and the relationships between them.
Summary Database Diagram

A summary database diagram shows the most important application
tables and the relationships between them. It omits tables and
relationships that contribute little to the understanding of the
application data model. Typically, a summary database diagram shows
tables that contain key reference and transaction data.
Module
A module is a program or procedure that implements one or more
business functions, or parts of a business function, within an
application. Modules include forms, concurrent programs and reports,
and subroutines.
Application Building Block

An application building block is a set of tables and modules (forms,
reports, and concurrent programs) that implement closely–related

database objects and their associated processing. Said another way, an
application building block is a logical unit of an application.
QuickCodes
QuickCodes let you define general purpose, static lists of values for
window fields. QuickCodes allow you to base your program logic on
lookup codes while displaying user–friendly names in a list of values
window. QuickCodes simplify name and language changes by letting
you change the names your end users see, while the codes in your
underlying programs remain the same.
Form
A form is a module comprised of closely related windows that are used
together to perform a task. For example, the Enter Journals form in
Oracle General Ledger includes the Enter Journals window, the Batch
window, and the More Actions window among others. The Enter
Journals window is the main window, and from it, you can use buttons
to navigate to other windows in the form. The form name usually
corresponds to the main window in the form, and is frequently a
window you open directly from the Navigator.
Other Information Sources

There are additional information sources, including other
documentation, training and support services, that you can use to
increase your knowledge and understanding of Oracle Designer, Oracle
Application Object Library, and Oracle Quality. We want to make these

CHAPTER
2 High–Level Design
T his chapter presents a high–level design for Oracle Quality that

satisfies the business needs we specify during Strategy and
Analysis. It contains database diagrams for Oracle Quality application
building blocks, lists of database tables and views, and a list of
modules.
High–Level Design 2–1

Overview of High–Level Design
During High–Level Design, we define the application components
(tables, views, and modules) we need to build our application. We
specify what application components should do without specifying the
details of how they should do it.
You can refer to this High–Level Design chapter to quickly acquaint
yourself with the tables, views, and modules that comprise Quality
applications. And, you can prepare yourself to understand the detailed
design and implementation of Oracle Quality.

The Summary Database Diagram section graphically represents the
most important application tables and the relationships between them.
It omits tables and relationships that contribute little to the
understanding of the application data model. Typically, a summary
database diagram shows tables that contain key reference and
transaction data.
We prepare a summary database diagram to describe, at a conceptual
level, the key information on which our business depends. Later, we
refine this summary database diagram, breaking it into multiple
database diagrams (generally, one per application building block) to
represent all the tables and relationships we need to implement our
application in the database.
Review the Summary Database Diagram section to see at a glance the
major tables and relationships on which your Quality application
depends.
Database Diagrams
The Database Diagrams section graphically represents all Quality
applications tables and the relationships between them, organized by
building block.
Use this section to quickly learn what tables each Quality application
building block uses, and how those tables interrelate. Then, you can
refer to the Table and View Definitions sections of Chapter 3 for more
detailed information about each of those tables.

Table Lists
The Table List sections list the Quality applications tables. Because a
product might not include at least one table for each type, this
Technical Reference Manual might not include each of the following
sections.
Public Tables
Use the Public Table List section to quickly identify the tables you are
most interested in. Then, you can refer to the Table and View
Definitions sections of Chapter 3 for more detailed information about
those tables.
In addition, this manual may contain full documentation for one or
more of the following Application Object Library tables: FND_DUAL,
FND_CURRENCIES, and FND_COMMON_LOOKUPS.
Internal Tables
This section includes a list of private, internal tables used by Quality;
we do not provide additional documentation for these tables.
View Lists
The View List sections list the Quality views, with one section for each
type of view. Because a product might not include at least one view for
each type, this Technical Reference Manual might not include each of
the following sections.
Use this section to quickly identify the views you are most interested
in. Then, you can refer to the Table and View Definitions sections of
Chapter 3 for more detailed information about those views.
Public Views
This section lists views that may be useful for your custom reporting or
other data requirements. The list includes a description of the view,
and the page in Chapter 3 that gives detailed information about the
public view.

Web Views
This section lists views that you may need to configure your
Self–Service Web applications. The list includes a description of the
view, and the page in Chapter 3 that gives detailed information about
the web view.
Internal Views
This section includes each private, internal view that Quality uses.
Multiple Reporting Currency Views

This list includes views that were created to support the Multiple
Reporting Currencies feature.
Module List
The Module List section briefly describes each of the Quality
applications modules. This section lists forms, reports, and concurrent
programs.
A form is a module comprised of closely related windows that are used
together to perform a task. For example, the Enter Journals form in
Oracle General Ledger includes the Enter Journals window, the Batch
window, and the More Actions window. The Enter Journals window is
the main window, and from it, you can use buttons to navigate to other
windows in the form. The form name usually corresponds to the main
window in the form, and is frequently a window you can open directly
from the Navigator.
The Reports and Concurrent Programs lists include processes you can
submit from the Submit Requests window or other windows, as well as
processes that are submitted automatically by Quality. Use your user’s
guide to learn more about reports and concurrent processes.

This Summary Database Diagram graphically represents the most
important Quality applications tables and the relationships between
them. It describes, at a conceptual level, the key information on which
your Quality application depends.
This diagram does not represent the complete database implementation
of Quality applications tables. It shows tables that contain key
reference and transaction data, and omits tables and relationships that
contribute little to the understanding of the Quality applications data
model. For example, a foreign key relationship shown between two
tables may actually be implemented by an intervening table, not shown
in this diagram.
For more detailed graphical representations of Quality applications
tables and the relationships between them, see the Database Diagrams
section in this chapter.

Database Diagramming Conventions
We use the following notational conventions in our database diagrams:

or else it must be null.

Tables – are the basic unit of storage in the database. A hand symbol
preceding the title in the table’s title bar indicates that the table is not
owned by this application but shared with another.
Foreign key constraint – is a type of referential integrity constraint for
checking the integrity of data entered in a specific column or set of
columns. This specified column or set of columns is known as the
foreign key.
Delete rule indicator – determines the action to be taken when an
attempt is made to delete a related row in a join table. A line through
the foreign key constraint, as shown on the above diagram, indicates
that this action is restricted.
Arcs – specify that, for any given row in a table, a value must be
entered in one of the arc columns. The remaining columns within the
arc must be null.

Quality Summary Database Diagram

Quality Summary Database Diagram (continued)

Database Diagrams
This section graphically represents most of the significant Oracle
Quality tables and the relationships between them, organized by
building block. Use this section to quickly learn which tables each
Quality application building block uses, and how these tables
interrelate. You can then refer to the Table and View Definitions
sections of Chapter 3 for more detailed information about each of the
tables.
This section contains a database diagram for the following Quality
application building blocks:
• Diagram 1: Quality Criteria
• Diagram 2: Quality Elements
• Diagram 3: Quality Plans
• Diagram 4: Quality Specifications
• Diagram 5: Quality Actions
• Diagram 6: Quality Results
Some tables, especially important reference tables, appear in more than
one database diagram. When several building blocks use a table, we
show that table in each appropriate database diagram.
Quality Criteria
Diagram 1 shows the tables used in the Quality Results Reportwriter,
descriptive statistics, and in Quality charts, and illustrates the
relationships between them and the various criteria or conditions that
you use to filter Quality results. After you enter the collection elements
and the collection plan for the chart or report that you want to create,
you can filter the results using criteria or conditions that you define or
using pre–existing criteria that you copy. The tables store ”show results
where” information used to retrieve specific values from collected
results.
This diagram also illustrates the relationship between tables used to
store user–defined charts and their parameters, such as Control limits
for Control Charts.
Quality Elements
Diagram 2 illustrates how collection elements are internally stored in
Oracle Quality. Collection elements are the data that you want to collect

and analyze, and represent objects in the application software (when
you collect data for a collection element, you are gathering information
about an instance of the application object). This diagram shows the
entities and relationships established when creating collection elements,
and illustrates the relationships between collection elements and any
actions associated with them.
Quality Plans
Diagram 3 illustrates how collection plans and their associated
collection elements, transactions, and actions are internally represented
in Oracle Quality. A collection plan is a grouping of collection
elements, which are referred to as collection plan elements once they
are used in a collection plan. A collection plan can be associated with
any of the transactions that Oracle Quality supports, and you can
define actions for collection plan elements that are activated when a
specific condition is met.
Quality Specifications
Diagram 4 illustrates the tables and relationships between collection
elements and their specifications. You can define specification limits for
collection elements to ensure that product components and assemblies
conform to quality standards.
Quality Actions
Diagram 5 illustrates the relationships between actions and action logs
and their output, and shows the contexts where Oracle Quality actions
can be used. You can use Quality’s predefined actions with a collection
element by itself or with a collection element that is part of a particular
collection plan.
Quality Results
Diagram 6 illustrates the entities and relationships associated with
acquiring quality results in Oracle Quality. This diagram describes
how quality results are related to the transactions that trigger them, the
application objects that they represent, and any resulting information
logged about them in the system. It also shows the relationships among
the main pool, Quality results, and the Quality subset, Quality BIS
High–Level Design 2 – 11
Results (QA_BIS_RESULTS), which is used for Business Intelligence
System purposes only.
How to Use These Database Diagrams

Here is an example of how you might use these database diagrams:
Suppose you would like to collect quality data about various
application objects in Oracle Quality. To capture data about the
application objects, you must create a collection plan. Diagram 3 shows
that collection plans are composed of collection elements. Diagram 3
also explores the relationship between collection elements, collection
plan elements (the collection elements used in the collection plan), and
their respective lookup values, and the concept of collection plan types,
which categorize collection elements in groups. Oracle Quality offers
four predefined collection plan types; however, you can create your
own collection plan types. Once you have created a collection plan, you
can use it to collect and analyze quality results.
To understand how these results are internally represented in Oracle
Quality, you can refer to Diagram 6. This diagram illustrates how
quality results are gathered, what the results mean, and what Oracle
Quality does with the results. It shows the relationship between the
results and the transaction that initially triggered their capture, as well
as the relationship between the results and the information subsequently
recorded in the system about its capture. It also illustrates the two
entities that a single result represents: the application object instance for
which the data was collected (such as an item, job, operation, purchase
order, or service request), and the collection plan that embodies that
application object within Oracle Quality.

CHAPTER
3 Detailed Design
T his chapter presents a detailed design for implementing Oracle

Quality. It contains detailed definitions of tables and views that
you may need to reference to write custom reports or use for other data
extraction.
Detailed Design 3–1

Overview of Detailed Design
During Detailed Design, we specify in detail how each applications
component should work. We prepare detailed definitions of tables and
views.
You can refer to this Detailed Design chapter to gain a detailed
understanding of the underlying structure and processing of Oracle
Quality that enables you to:
• Convert existing application data
• Integrate your Quality application with your other applications
systems
• Write custom reports
• Define alerts against Oracle Applications tables
• Create views for decision support queries using query tools
• Configure your Oracle Self–Service Web Applications
Table and View Definitions

The Table and View Definitions section contains a detailed definition of
Quality applications tables. For each table, it provides information
about primary keys, foreign keys, QuickCodes, indexes, triggers, and
sequences. It also gives you a detailed description of each column and
its characteristics. In addition, it provides the SQL statement that
defines each view. Review this section to get a detailed understanding
of what tables your Quality application contains, and how it uses them
to hold and access the information it needs.

Table and View Definitions
This section contains a detailed description of each Oracle Quality table
and view that you may need to reference. For each table, it presents
detailed information about:
• Primary keys
• Foreign keys
• Column descriptions
• Indexes
• Oracle sequences
• Triggers
• View derivations
Because Oracle does not support customization of Oracle Application
Object Library tables, we do not provide you with detailed information
about them. Consequently, this section does not document all the
FND_% tables Oracle Quality uses.
The following sections appear in each table or view description:
Foreign Keys
To help you understand the relationships between tables, we list each
foreign key contained in a table. For each foreign key in a table, we list
the primary key table name (the table to which a foreign key refers), its
corresponding primary key columns, and the foreign key columns that
refer to those primary key columns.
When the primary key table has a composite primary key, we list each
column of the composite key sequentially.
If a table contains two or more distinct foreign keys that refer to the
same primary key table, we repeat the primary key table name and list
each of the distinct foreign keys separately.
QuickCodes Columns
When a database column contains a QuickCodes value, which we
implement using a foreign key to FND_LOOKUPS, MFG_LOOKUPS,
or to some other lookup table, we list the QuickCodes type (lookup

type) to which the QuickCodes value must belong and a complete list
of QuickCodes values and meanings. Some QuickCodes can be
defined by you in the application. These values are designated as
User–defined.
Column Descriptions
We list the important characteristics of each column in a table or view.
These characteristics include whether the column is part of the table’s
primary key, whether Oracle8i requires a value for this column, and the
data type of the column. We also give you a brief description of how
Oracle Quality uses the column.
When a column is part of a table’s primary key, we append the notation
(PK) to the name of that column.
To help you understand which columns Oracle Quality uses and which
columns it does not use, we alert you to any unused column. When no
module uses a database column, we show one of the following legends
in the Description column:
Not currently Oracle Quality does not use this column, although
used the column might be used in a future release.
No longer used Oracle Quality no longer uses this column.
AutoInstall installs this column. Subsequent
versions of Oracle Quality might not include this
column.
No longer Oracle Quality no longer uses this column. If you
installed upgraded your software from an earlier version, you
may still have this column, depending upon
whether you chose to delete it during an upgrade
process. If you install Oracle Quality, you do not
have this column.
Standard Who Columns

Most Oracle Quality tables contain standard columns to support \ Row
Who. When your program or SQL*Plus command selects a row from a
table, use these columns to determine who last updated the row. If
your program or SQL*Plus command updates or inserts a row in an
interface table, you must populate each of the five standard Who
columns:

LAST_UPDATE_DATE Date when a user last updated this row
LAST_UPDATED_BY User who last updated this row (foreign
key to FND_USER.USER_ID)
CREATION_DATE Date when this row was created
CREATED_BY User who created this row (foreign key to
FND_USER.USER_ID)
LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN Operating system login of user who last
updated this row (foreign key to
FND_LOGINS.LOGIN_ID). You should
set this to NULL, or to 0 if NULL is not
allowed
Since every table containing Who columns has several foreign keys to
the tables FND_USER and FND_LOGINS, we do not include the
foreign key columns LAST_UPDATED_BY, CREATED_BY, or
LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN in a table’s list of foreign keys.
Additional Who Columns for Concurrent Programs

Some Oracle Quality tables also contain several additional Who
columns to distinguish between changes a user makes with a form and
changes a concurrent program makes. When a concurrent program
updates or inserts a row in a table, the concurrent program populates
the following additional Who columns:
REQUEST_ID Concurrent request ID of program that last
FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS.RE-
QUEST_ID)
PROGRAM_APPLICATION_ID Application ID of program that last
FND_APPLICATION.APPLICATION_ID)
PROGRAM_ID Program ID of program that last updated
this row (foreign key to FND_CONCUR-
RENT_PROGRAM.CONCURRENT_PRO-
GRAM_ID)
PROGRAM_UPDATE_DATE Date when a program last updated this
row
Since every table containing these additional Who columns has several
foreign keys to the tables FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS,
FND_APPLICATION, and FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAM, we do
not include the foreign key columns REQUEST_ID,

PROGRAM_APPLICATION_ID, or PROGRAM_ID in a table’s list of
foreign keys.
Indexes
If an Oracle Quality table uses an Oracle8i index, we list the database
columns that comprise that index, in sequential order.
Note: The indexes we document in this manual correspond to
unique keys we specified during product development and testing.
In some cases, we may add additional indexes during the porting
process to fine–tune performance on specific platforms; therefore,
there may be minor differences between the indexes documented in
this book and the indexes for production versions of Quality.
Sequences
Oracle Quality uses Oracle8i sequence generators to generate unique
integers. If any table column gets its value from an Oracle8i sequence
generator, we list the name of the corresponding sequence generator
and the name of the column that stores the unique integer.
Database Triggers
If a table has one or more active database triggers, we provide a brief
explanation of each database trigger and when it fires.
View Derivation
For each Oracle Quality view you may need to reference, we include
important elements from the SQL statement that defines or creates a
view. By studying this view definition, you can understand exactly
how a view derives its contents.

BOM_DEPARTMENTS
BOM_DEPARTMENTS stores department information. You cannot use

the department in an operation after its DISABLE_DATE.
DEPARTMENT_ID uniquely identifies each row. You can assign a
delivery location for each department if you use outside processing
resources.

MTL_CATEGORIES_B
MTL_CATEGORIES_B is the code combinations table for item

categories. Items are grouped into categories within the context of a
category set to provide flexible grouping schemes.
The item category is a key flexfield with a flex code of MCAT. The
flexfield structure identifier is also stored in this table to support the
ability to define more than one flexfield structure (multi–flex).
Item categories now support multilingual category description. MLS is

implemented with a pair of tables: MTL_CATEGORIES_B and
MTL_CATEGORIES_TL. MTL_CATEGORIES_TL table holds
translated Description for Categories.

MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_B
MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_B contains the entity definition for category

sets. A category set is a categorization scheme for a group of items.
Items may be assigned to different categories in different category sets
to represent the different groupings of items used for different purposes.
An item may be assigned to only one category within a category set,
however.
STRUCTURE_ID identifies the flexfield structure associated with the

category set. Only categories with the same flexfield structure may be
grouped into a category set.
CONTROL_LEVEL defines whether the category set is controlled at the

item or the item/organization level. When an item is assigned to an
item level category set within the item master organization, the category
set assignment is propagated to all other organizations to which the item
is assigned.
VALIDATE_FLAG defines whether a list of valid categories is used to

validate category usage within the set. Validated category sets will not
allow item assignment to the category set in categories that are not in a
predefined list of valid categories.
Category Sets now support multilingual category set name and

description. MLS is implemented with a pair of tables:
MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_B and MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_TL.
MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_TL table holds translated Name and

MTL_SALES_ORDERS
MTL_SALES_ORDERS stores Inventory’s local definition of sales

orders.
Unlike account numbers which are stored as flexfields in
GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS, or purchase orders which are stored in
PO_HEADERS, sales orders are not assumed to originate in any
particular application. MTL_SALES_ORDERS exists for the purpose of
mapping sales orders between other applications and Inventory.
MTL_SALES_ORDERS is a key flexfield table with no structure defining
column or set defining column. The flexfield code for this table is
MKTS. Only one structure for the flexfield may be defined for any
installation of Inventory. Inventory demand interface and demand
manager will validate sales orders on segment values, and will create a
new SALES_ORDER_ID when necessary.

MTL_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES
MTL_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES is the definition table for the

subinventory. A subinventory is a section of inventory, i.e., raw material,
finished goods, etc. Subinventories are assigned to items (in a many to
one relationship), indicating a list of valid places where this item will
physically exist in inventory.
Other attributes include general ledger accounts, demand picking order,
locator type, availability type, and reservable type.
You can also specify whether this subinventory is an expense or asset
subinventory (ASSET_INVENTORY), or whether quantities are tracked
(QUANTITY_TRACKED).

This trigger captures information needed to create subledger accounting events when Oracle
Inventory and the set of books used is defined as a subledger in the Global Accounting Engine
application. This trigger synchronizes the table MTL_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES and
AX_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES. It ensure that a subinventory exists for every inventory
organizations in AX_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES.

MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B is the definition table for items. This table

holds the definitions for inventory items, engineering items, and
purchasing items. You can specify item–related information in fields
such as: Bill of Material, Costing, Purchasing, Receiving, Inventory,
Physical attributes, General Planning, MPS/MRP Planning, Lead times,
Work in Process, Order Management, and Invoicing.
You can set up the item with multiple segments, since it is implemented
as a flexfield. Use the standard ’System Items’ flexfield that is shipped
with the product to configure your item flexfield. The flexfield code is
MSTK.
The primary key for an item is the INVENTORY_ITEM_ID and

ORGANIZATION_ID. Therefore, the same item can be defined in more
than one organization.
Each item is initially defined in an item master organization. The user

then assigns the item to other organizations that need to recognize this
item; a row is inserted for each new organization the item is assigned to.
Many columns such as MTL_TRANSACTIONS_ENABLED_FLAG and
BOM_ENABLED_FLAG correspond to item attributes defined in the
MTL_ITEM_ATTRIBUTES table. The attributes that are available to the
user depend on which Oracle applications are installed. The table
MTL_ATTR_APPL_DEPENDENCIES maintains the relationships
between item attributes and Oracle applications.
Two unit of measure columns are stored in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS table.

PRIMARY_UOM_CODE is the 3–character unit that is used throughout
Oracle Manufacturing. PRIMARY_UNIT_OF_MEASURE is the
25–character unit that is used throughout Oracle Purchasing.
Items now support multilingual description. MLS is implemented with

a pair of tables: MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B and
MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_TL. Translations table
(MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_TL) holds item descriptions in multiple
languages. DESCRIPTION column in the base table
(MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B) is for backward compatibility and is
maintained in the installation base language only.

Trigger Name : MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_T6_BOM

Trigger Level : ROW
Trigger Event : INSERT
This trigger creates categories corresponding to product family items being created. It also
assigns product family items to their corresponding categories. The trigger uses data that has
been stored in the BOM_PFI_PVT package PL/SQL tables by the row level trigger.

Trigger Time : BEFORE
Trigger Level : ROW
This trigger stores product family item identifier used later by the statement level trigger
for creation of the corresponding category when a new product family item is defined. It makes
calls to the BOM_PFI_PVT package procedures.

Trigger Level : ROW
Trigger Event : DELETE
This trigger stores corresponding category identifier that is used later by the statement level
trigger for deletion of the category when the product family item is deleted. It makes calls
to BOM_PFI_PVT package procedures.

Trigger Level : ROW
Trigger Event : UPDATE
This trigger performs the following functions depending on conditions: 1. Creates product
family category when item attribute BOM_ITEM_TYPE is updated to 5. 2. When the item attribute
BOM_ITEM_TYPE is changed from 5 to any other value, the trigger stores corresponding category
identifier for later deletion of the category by the statement level trigger. 3. Removes an
item assignment to the corresponding product family category when the PRODUCT_FAMILY_ITEM_ID
column of that item is changed. 4. When the PRODUCT_FAMILY_ITEM_ID column is changed to
non–null, stores category ID in the BOM_PFI_PVT package PL/SQL table for an item assignment to
that category later by the statement–level trigger.

Trigger Level : STATEMENT

This trigger performs the following functions depending on updates of the BOM_ITEM_TYPE and
PRODUCT_FAMILY_ITEM_ID columns: 1. Creates categories corresponding to product family items.
2. Assigns new product family items to their corresponding categories. 3. Deletes product
family categories. The trigger uses data that has been stored in the BOM_PFI_PVT package
PL/SQL tables by the row level trigger.

Trigger Level : ROW
This trigger deletes categories corresponding to product family items being deleted. The
trigger uses data that has been stored in the BOM_PFI_PVT package PL/SQL tables by the row
level trigger.
Trigger Name : MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_T2_VEH

Trigger Level : ROW
This trigger exports Automotive specific Item data to CARaS to maintain data consistency
whenever data in Oracle is changed. It calls the Automotive export launcher procedure which
validates the Automotive specific data before it exports it to CARaS.
Item data comes from the following tables
ECE_TP_GROUP
ECE_TP_DETAILS
MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS
MTL_CUSTOMER_ITEMS
MTL_CUSTOMER_ITEM_XREFS
VEH_MTL_CUSTOMER_ITEMS
WSH_CONTAINER_LOAD
The above tables have triggers to export Item data to CARaS.
Trigger Name : MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_T1

Trigger Level : ROW
The trigger is executed when the COSTING_ENABLED_FLAG field in the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS table is
modified from Yes to No or vice versa. Before updating COSTING_ENABLED_FLAG field, the trigger
performs the following tasks for each record that is modified:
• Insert a record into CST_ITEM_COSTS table if

COSTING_ENABLED_FLAG field is changed from No to Yes.
• Delete a record from CST_ITEM_COSTS table if
COSTING_ENABLED_FLAG field is changed from Yes to No.

PO_HEADERS_ALL
PO_HEADERS_ALL contains header information for your purchasing

documents. You need one row for each document you create. There are
six types of documents that use PO_HEADERS_ALL:
• RFQs
• Quotations
• Standard purchase orders
• Planned purchase orders
• Blanket purchase orders
• Contracts
Each row contains buyer information, supplier information, brief notes,

foreign currency information, terms and conditions information, and the
status of the document.
Oracle Purchasing uses this information to record information that is

related to a complete document.
PO_HEADER_ID is the unique system–generated primary key and is

invisible to the user. SEGMENT1 is the system–assigned number you
use to identify the document in forms and reports. Oracle Purchasing
generates SEGMENT1 using the
PO_UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER_CONT_ALL table if you choose to let
Oracle Purchasing generate document numbers for you. SEGMENT1 is
not unique for the entire table. Different document types can share the
same numbers. You can uniquely identify a row in PO_HEADERS_ALL
using SEGMENT1 and TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE or using

PO_HEADER_ID.
If APPROVED_FLAG is ’Y’, the purchase order is approved. If your

document type is a blanket purchase order, contract purchase order,
RFQ, or quotation, Oracle Purchasing uses START_DATE and
END_DATE to store the valid date range for the document. Oracle
Purchasing only uses BLANKET_TOTAL_AMOUNT for blanket
purchase orders or contract purchase orders.
If you autocreate a quotation from an RFQ using the Copy Document

window, Oracle Purchasing stores the foreign key to your original RFQ
in FROM_HEADER_ID. Oracle Purchasing also uses
FROM_TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE to indicate that you copied the
quotation from an RFQ.
Oracle Purchasing does not use SUMMARY_FLAG and

ENABLED_FLAG. Because future vers ions of Oracle Purchasing will
use them, SUMMARY_FLAG and ENABLED_FLAG should always be
’N’ and ’Y’ respectively.
You enter document header information in the Header region of the

Purchase Orders, RFQs, and Quotations windows.

row for each supplier you define. Each row includes the supplier name
as well as purchasing, receiving, payment, accounting, tax, classification,
and general information. Oracle Purchasing uses this information to
determine active suppliers. VENDOR_ID is the unique
system–generated receipt header number invisible to the user.
SEGMENT1 is the system–generated or manually assigned number you
use to identify the supplier in forms and reports. Oracle Purchasing
generates SEGMENT1 using the
PO_UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER_CONTROL table if you choose to let Oracle
Purchasing generate supplier numbers for you. This table is one of three
tables that store supplier information. PO_VENDORS corresponds to
the Suppliers window.

QA_CHARS
QA_CHARS contains information about collection elements also known

as Quality Characteristics. Some collection elements are seeded when
Oracle Quality is installed, however, you can define new collection
elements, which are also stored in this table. Collection elements may be
enabled or disabled. You can only use enabled collection elements for
the purpose of defining collection plans.
QA_CHARS can store the following types of information: display

information, such as prompts and hints, which are shown during results
entry; data, such as the datatype and default value of the collection
element; validation information such as SQL validation strings; and
specifications, such as upper and lower limits. QA_CHARS also stores
information about the collection element type and context.
Collection element context is determined by the value of the

CHAR_CONTEXT_FLAG, which indicates whether or not a collection
element is a standard Quality Characteristic, has any dependency to any
other collection element, or is referenced from any other elements in
another Oracle Applications table. Depending on the value of
CHAR_CONTEXT_FLAG, some other fields in this table may represent
unifying context information for the collection element. For example, the
collection element in CHAR_ID depends on the collection element
represented by DEPENDENT_CHAR_ID. If a collection element is
referenced, information from fields such as FK_TABLENAME or PK_ID
denote the relationship between QA_CHARS and the foreign table.
QA_CHARS.HARDCODED_COLUMN stores the name of the

corresponding column in the QA_RESULTS table in which the values for
this collection element are stored. For example, if
QA_CHARS.HARDCODED_COLUMN has a value, there will be a
corresponding column in the QA_RESULTS table that will store the
collection element’s result value. If
QA_CHARS.HARDCODED_COLUMN has a null value, then one of the
generic CHARACTERx columns is used to store the collection element’s
value.

element values. Each row of this table stores information about a
collection element, its associated action, and the token used in defining
the action.

QA_CHAR_ACTION_TRIGGERS
QA_CHAR_ACTION_TRIGGERS contains one row for each defined

action trigger associated with a collection element. Action triggers are
the rules that specify the conditions under which the action is activated
during results entry. When the specified condition is met, the designated
action is activated.
You can define more than one trigger for a collection element. You
assign each trigger a sequence number, which indicates the order in
which the trigger is activated. Each row in the table contains a
collection element Identifier, a trigger sequence, and the operator used
to define the trigger for the collection element. Operators are assigned
numeric equivalents, which are displayed in the table.
For example, the Less Than (<) operator is represented by the number
six. Based on the operator used, a row may contain a single value, or
two values used to define a range of values from low
(LOW_VALUE_OTHER) to high (HIGH_VALUE_OTHER). For
example, if you use the operator Equals (=), which is represented by the
number one, you enter a single value in the LOW_VALUE_OTHER
field. When the user enters a collection element for this value, the action
rule evaluates to TRUE.
If you use the operator Between, which is represented by the number

nine and indicates a range of values, you must enter a value for both
LOW_VALUE_OTHER and HIGH_VALUE_OTHER. When the user
enters a collection element value that falls within that range, the action
rule is evaluated to TRUE. If the LOW_VALUE_LOOKUP or
HIGH_VALUE_LOOKUP fields are populated, the collection element’s
specification limits determine whether or not the action is activated. If
these fields are NULL, the actual values from LOW_VALUE_OTHER
and HIGH_VALUE_OTHER determine whether or not the action is
activated.

collection elements grouped for the purposes of data collection. Each
row of the table represents one collection plan and contains the
collection plan name, the inventory organization in which the plan is
defined, the plan type, the plan view name, and the import view name.
The plan view and import view are also referred to as dynamic views.
These are created through the Collection Plan window. The plan view
has the format Q_<plan>_V where <plan> corresponds to the name of
the collection plan that this view is based on. The dynamic plan view,
which publishes the results collected for a plan, can also be used for
additional reporting purposes. The import view can be used to ease
collection import. The QA_PLANS table has a master–detail

table represents one collection element and its attributes for the plan.
Collection element attributes include the collection element prompt that
is displayed, the default value for the collection element, and the column
name in QA_RESULTS to which this collection element is mapped. This
table also stores information regarding whether or not a collection plan
is enabled, mandatory, or hidden. When a collection plan is defined, a
link is maintained to QA_CHARS for each of the collection elements
available in the plan. Some additional information is also derived from
QA_CHARS and populated in this table.

actual collection element values while executing the actions. Each row of
this table stores information about a collection element, along with its
associated action and the token name used to define the action in a
specific plan.

QA_PLAN_CHAR_ACTION_TRIGGERS
QA_CHAR_ACTION_TRIGGERS contains one row for each defined

action trigger associated with a collection element. Action triggers are
the rules that specify the conditions under which the action is activated
during results entry. When the specified condition is met, the designated
action is activated. You can define more than one trigger for a collection
element. You assign each trigger a sequence number, which indicates the
order in which the trigger is activated.
Each row in the table contains a collection element Identifier, a trigger

sequence, and the operator used to define the trigger for the collection
element. Operators are assigned numeric equivalents, which are
displayed in the table. For example, the Less Than (<) operator is
represented by the number six.
Based on the operator used, a row may contain a single value, or two
values used to define a range of values from low
(LOW_VALUE_OTHER) to high (HIGH_VALUE_OTHER). For
example, if you use the operator Equals (=), which is represented by the
number one, you enter a single value in the LOW_VALUE_OTHER
field. When the user enters a collection element for this value, the action
rule evaluates to TRUE. If you use the operator Between, which is
represented by the number nine and indicates a range of values, you
must specify a value for both LOW_VALUE_OTHER and
HIGH_VALUE_OTHER. When the user enters a collection element
value that falls within that range, the action rule is evaluated to TRUE.
If the LOW_VALUE_LOOKUP or HIGH_VALUE_LOOKUP fields are

populated, the collection element’s specification limits determine
whether or not the action is activated. If these fields are NULL, the
actual values from LOW_VALUE_OTHER and HIGH_VALUE_OTHER
determine whether or not the action is activated.

You can define a master set of permissible values for a collection
element, and then copy them to individual plans. Once values for a
collection element are copied into a plan, only one of the values can then
be entered for that collection element. The values are also used to
display a List of Values (LOV) during data entry. They take precedence
over the SQL validation string. Each row of the table contains one value
for a collection element in the plan.

QA_PLAN_TRANSACTIONS
QA_PLAN_TRANSACTIONS stores the transaction information

defined for a specific collection plan. Oracle Quality allows the user to
define a collection plan for specific transactions, as well as to enter
quality results for these plans while executing parent transactions. For
example, you can define collection plans specific to the WIP Move
transaction. The user can then invoke this collection plan while
performing the transaction. Each row of this table defines one
transaction for a collection plan. A transaction is identified in Oracle
Quality by assigning it a unique number called a transaction number. A
plan can be associated with one or more transactions. This table stores
information on whether or not collection plans for transactions are set to
enabled, background, or mandatory, and whether or not they have a
master–detail relationship with QA_PLAN_COLLECTION_TRIGGERS.

QA_RESULTS
QA_RESULTS stores all of the quality data entered for collection plans.
This table is Oracle Quality’s data repository. All of the data collected
either directly through transactions, or by Collection Import, reside in
this table. The columns in this table can be divided into two categories:
generic or hardcoded. Generic columns are CHARACTER1 through
CHARACTER100 and are generally referred to as CHARACTERx in this
manual. Hardcoded columns are specific columns in this table, such as
ITEM_ID or PO_HEADER_ID. QA_CHARS.HARDCODED_COLUMN
stores the name of the corresponding column in the QA_RESULTS table
in which values for this collection element will be stored. For example, if
QA_CHARS.HARDCODED_COLUMN has a value, there will be a
corresponding column in the QA_RESULTS table that will store the
collection element’s result value. If
QA_CHARS.HARDCODED_COLUMN has a null value, then one of the
generic CHARACTERx columns will be used to store the collection
element’s value.

QA_RESULTS_INTERFACE
QA_RESULTS_INTERFACE is the Oracle Quality Open Interfaces table.

QA_RESULTS_INTERFACE mimics the structure of QA_RESULTS and
is the central entity of the collection import process. Users load rows of
data into the QA_RESULTS_INTERFACE table and invoke a Collection
Import Concurrent Manager request. Successfully processed data is then
moved from the QA_RESULTS_INTERFACE table to the QA_RESULTS
table. Oracle Quality supports dynamic views. These are created
through the Collection Plan window. You can create both a dynamic
plan view and a dynamic import view for a collection plan. The
dynamic import view has the format Q_<plan>_IV where <plan>
corresponds to the name of the collection plan on which the view is
based. The dynamic import view can be used to insert values into the
QA_RESULTS_INTERFACE table. This view resolves the generic
CHARACTERx columns of the QA_RESULTS_INTERFACE table into
meaningful columns based on the collection element name.

QA_SPECS_CHARS defines specifications and specification elements.

Each specification can contain multiple collection elements, each with a
different set of upper and lower range limits. Each row of the table
represents a collection element and contains that collection element’s
target value, specification value range, reasonable range, and
user–defined range. The specification range helps the user during data
entry. Any value that lies outside of the reasonable range is rejected.

QA_TXN_COLLECTION_TRIGGERS
QA_TXN_COLLECTION_TRIGGERS contains all of the collection

elements that can be used as collection triggers for a specific Quality
collection plan associated with a transaction. If a collection plan is
invoked from a transaction, such as WIP Move or PO Receiving
transaction, its collection elements are copied over from the parent
transaction window. A collection plan can be set to be triggered from a
parent transaction window based on the value of these collection
elements. Each row of the table represents a collection element database
field in which the collection element is stored, and window field name
to which this collection element is mapped in the parent transaction
window.

WIP_LINES
WIP_LINES stores production line information. Each row includes a

line name, maximum and minimum rate information, throughput for
rate based lines (i.e., lead time), and the start and stop time information
that determines the amount of time per day the line is available. Oracle
Work in Process uses this information when you associate a line with a
repetitive assembly and when you define a repetitive schedule on the
line. Production line information is optional for discrete jobs.
