Overview
EGO_GTIN_ATTRS_V is an APPS-owned database view in the Oracle E-Business Suite Advanced Product Catalog (EGO) module. It presents Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) together with the associated Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) attributes for an inventory item, resolved at the organization level. Per the ETRM documentation, the view is defined as single-row only, meaning it returns exactly one consolidated record per item/organization/GTIN combination rather than a repeating attribute-per-row layout. Its stated purpose is to supply the payload required by the GDSN for Regulatory Content and Item Registration (RCIR) messages, making it an integration-facing object rather than a purely reporting artifact.
The view is exposed in both Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 with the same owner and definition; the documented 12.2.2 metadata confirms its referenced base objects and VALID status in the APPS schema. Because it flattens both item master attributes and GTIN-specific GDSN attributes into a single row, it is well suited to data synchronization interfaces and downstream XML generation for trade item publication.
Underlying Base Objects
The view draws from a mix of item master, cross-reference, category, GTIN attribute, and lookup sources. The documented referenced objects are:
- EGO_ITEM_GTN_ATTRS_B and EGO_ITEM_GTN_ATTRS_TL — the base and translated GTIN attribute tables that hold GDSN-specific values such as brand owner, storage/handling temperatures, coupon indicator, and trade item unit flags.
- MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B and MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_TL — source of item-level flags and physical dimensions (order, shippable, invoice, consumer unit indicators, length, height, width, weight).
- MTL_CROSS_REFERENCES — supplies the GLOBAL_TRADE_ITEM_NUMBER via the CROSS_REFERENCE column.
- MTL_UNITS_OF_MEASURE_TL — used in the diameter UOM conversion logic to resolve the base UOM code.
- MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES, MTL_CATEGORIES_B_KFV, MTL_CATEGORIES_TL, MTL_DEFAULT_CATEGORY_SETS, and MTL_PARAMETERS — category and organization context.
- EGO_ATTRS_V — attribute metadata used to map database columns to GDSN attribute definitions.
- FND_LOOKUPS — resolves meanings for the UCCnet data source provider (GLN and NAME).
- FND_GLOBAL and INV_CONVERT — session context and UOM conversion utilities.
Key Columns
- ORGANIZATION_ID, INVENTORY_ITEM_ID — item/org key identifying the trade item.
- GLOBAL_TRADE_ITEM_NUMBER — the GTIN from the item cross-reference.
- BRAND_OWNER_GLN, BRAND_OWNER_NAME — party owning the brand.
- STORAGE_HANDLING_TEMP_MAX / _MIN and their UOM_STORAGE_HANDLING_TEMP_MAX / _MIN — storage and handling temperature ranges.
- TRADE_ITEM_COUPON — coupon indicator for the trade item.
- GLN_INFORMATION_PROVIDER, NAME_OF_INFORMATION_PROVIDER, ADDRESS_OF_INFO_PROVIDER — data source provider details resolved from FND_LOOKUPS.
- TARGET_MARKET_COUNTRY_CODE — hardcoded to '840' (United States) in the view text.
- IS_TRADE_ITEM_A_CONSUMER_UNIT, IS_TRADE_ITEM_AN_ORD_UNIT, IS_TRADE_ITEM_A_BASE_UNIT, IS_TRADE_ITEM_A_DESPATCH_UNIT, IS_TRADE_ITEM_AN_INVOICE_UNIT, IS_TRADE_ITEM_A_VARIABLE_UNIT — trade item unit flags derived from item and GTIN attributes.
- DEPTH/UOM_DEPTH, HEIGHT/UOM_HEIGHT, WIDTH/UOM_WIDTH, NET_WEIGHT/UOM_WEIGHT — physical dimension and weight data.
- DIAMETER — computed via INV_CONVERT using the base UOM resolved from MTL_UNITS_OF_MEASURE_TL.
Common Use Cases and Queries
Typical usage centers on GDSN/RCIR message generation and GTIN attribute verification. A representative query retrieves the consolidated GDSN attributes for a specific item:
- SELECT organization_id, inventory_item_id, global_trade_item_number, brand_owner_gln, brand_owner_name, is_trade_item_a_base_unit, net_weight, uom_weight FROM ego_gtin_attrs_v WHERE organization_id = :org_id AND inventory_item_id = :item_id;
- Reporting all published GTINs for an organization: SELECT global_trade_item_number, brand_owner_name, target_market_country_code FROM ego_gtin_attrs_v WHERE organization_id = :org_id;
- Validating physical dimensions and unit flags prior to synchronization: SELECT inventory_item_id, depth, uom_depth, height, uom_height, width, uom_width, is_trade_item_a_consumer_unit FROM ego_gtin_attrs_v WHERE inventory_item_id = :item_id;
Because the view is single-row only, no DISTINCT or aggregation is required for item-level extraction. Note that the diameter expression depends on MTL_UNITS_OF_MEASURE_TL and INV_CONVERT, so queries should ensure the item has a valid base UOM and diameter attribute to avoid NULL results.
