Overview

The GR_EIN_NUMBERS_B table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Process Manufacturing Regulatory Management module (GR). It serves as the master reference table for storing European Index Numbers (EINs), which are unique identifiers for chemical substances as mandated by European Union regulations. Its primary role is to establish a single source of truth for these regulated identifiers, ensuring data integrity and consistency across all related regulatory compliance processes, such as substance inventory management and regulatory reporting.

Key Information Stored

As a base table, its structure is designed to hold the essential identifier and associated attributes for each EIN. The documented primary key is the EUROPEAN_INDEX_NUMBER column, which stores the unique alphanumeric identifier for the chemical substance. While the specific metadata for other columns is not provided in the excerpt, typical attributes in such a reference table may include fields for the substance name, registration status, effective dates, and creation or update audit information. The singular primary key constraint, GR_EIN_NUMBERS_B_PK, enforces the uniqueness of the EUROPEAN_INDEX_NUMBER value, which is critical for its referential role.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to regulatory compliance operations within Process Manufacturing. Common use cases include validating substances against an approved EIN list, generating regulatory reports for authorities like the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), and linking substance data to associated concentration limits or safety information. A fundamental query pattern involves joining this master table to its related detail tables to retrieve a complete regulatory profile for a substance.

Sample SQL to retrieve all EINs and their related data might follow this pattern:

• SELECT ein.EUROPEAN_INDEX_NUMBER, conc.*
• FROM GR.GR_EIN_NUMBERS_B ein,
• GR.GR_EIN_ASL_CONCS conc
• WHERE ein.EUROPEAN_INDEX_NUMBER = conc.EUROPEAN_INDEX_NUMBER;

Related Objects

The GR_EIN_NUMBERS_B table has a documented parent-child relationship with at least one other key table in the GR module, forming the backbone of the regulatory data model. The primary key (EUROPEAN_INDEX_NUMBER) is referenced by the following foreign key:

• GR_EIN_ASL_CONCS: This table references GR_EIN_NUMBERS_B via its EUROPEAN_INDEX_NUMBER column. This relationship logically connects a master European Index Number to its associated concentration limits or similar regulatory thresholds stored in the GR_EIN_ASL_CONCS table.

This relationship ensures that any concentration data is linked to a valid, pre-defined EIN, maintaining referential integrity across the regulatory management system.
