The RA_SALESREPS_ALL table is a critical repository for sales representative data within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Release 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically serving the Receivables (AR) module. This table stores comprehensive information about sales representatives, including their assignments, commission structures, and organizational hierarchies. As a multi-organization enabled table (indicated by the "_ALL" suffix), it supports multiple operating units within a single installation, making it essential for enterprises with complex sales structures.

Table Structure and Key Columns

The RA_SALESREPS_ALL table contains several important columns that define sales representative attributes:
  • SALESREP_ID: Primary key identifier for each sales representative
  • NAME: Full name of the sales representative
  • EMPLOYEE_NUMBER: Links to HR system employee records
  • ORG_ID: Operating unit identifier for multi-org implementations
  • COMMISSION_PCT: Default commission percentage
  • START_DATE_ACTIVE/END_DATE_ACTIVE: Date range for active status
  • STATUS: Active/Inactive indicator

Functional Integration

RA_SALESREPS_ALL integrates with several Oracle EBS modules:
  1. Order Management (OM): Associates sales orders with responsible representatives
  2. Receivables (AR): Tracks commissions and sales performance
  3. Human Resources (HR): Maintains employee linkage through EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
  4. General Ledger (GL): Supports revenue recognition by sales territory

Technical Considerations

For implementations on Oracle EBS 12.1.1 or 12.2.2:
  • The table is owned by the AR schema (APPS synonym available)
  • Indexes exist on SALESREP_ID, NAME, and ORG_ID for performance
  • Concurrent programs like "Sales Credit Allocation" reference this table
  • Customizations should use the API (AR_SALESREP_PUB) rather than direct DML

Business Process Impact

RA_SALESREPS_ALL supports critical business processes:
  • Commission calculation and payment processing
  • Sales territory management and reporting
  • Quota tracking and performance analysis
  • Customer assignment and coverage models

Upgrade Considerations

Between 12.1.1 and 12.2.2:
  • Table structure remains largely unchanged
  • New indexes may be present in 12.2.2 for performance
  • Web ADI integrations may reference additional views
  • REST API endpoints in 12.2.2 may expose this data

Best Practices

When working with RA_SALESREPS_ALL:
  1. Always query with ORG_ID filter in multi-org environments
  2. Use the AR_SALESREP_PUB package for data modifications
  3. Maintain proper HR synchronization for employee-linked reps
  4. Regularly archive inactive representatives for performance
The RA_SALESREPS_ALL table remains a cornerstone of sales force automation in Oracle EBS, providing the structural foundation for commission processing, sales analytics, and territory management across both 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 implementations.
