Overview

The table GR_ITEM_FIELD_NAME_MASKS_B is a core data object within the Process Manufacturing Regulatory Management (GR) module of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It functions as a master repository for defining field name masks specifically for regulatory items. In the context of regulatory compliance, particularly for industries like chemicals and pharmaceuticals, this table enables the systematic configuration of how item-related data fields are presented, formatted, or governed based on regulatory disclosure requirements. It plays a critical role in ensuring that item data adheres to specific regional or global regulatory standards by associating item codes with disclosure and label codes through a defined mask structure.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is defined by a composite primary key, which dictates the fundamental relationships it manages. The key columns are:

• ITEM_CODE: Identifies the specific item or item category within the product catalog to which the regulatory mask applies.
• DISCLOSURE_CODE: Represents a specific regulatory disclosure requirement or rule set.
• LABEL_CODE: Denotes a particular label format or presentation standard mandated by regulation.

Together, these columns create a unique association that defines a specific masking rule for a regulatory item. While the provided metadata does not list non-key columns, such a table typically stores attributes related to the mask's application, such as the mask format string, enabled status, or effective dates, which control the display, entry, or validation of field data (e.g., field length, allowed characters) on relevant forms and reports.

Common Use Cases and Queries

A primary use case, as suggested by the user search "egp system items field length," involves determining the configured presentation or validation rules for item fields in regulatory contexts. For instance, a report may need to list all regulatory masks applied to specific items. A common query pattern would join this table to item master and regulatory code tables.

Sample Query: Retrieving all regulatory masks for a given item identifier. SELECT item_code, disclosure_code, label_code FROM gr.gr_item_field_name_masks_b WHERE item_code = :p_item_code ORDER BY disclosure_code;

This table is central to regulatory reporting, label generation, and compliance checks. It ensures that when system items (potentially from the EGP module) are used in regulatory documents, their field names and data conform to the masked formats defined here, directly impacting data entry screens, printed labels, and regulatory submissions.

Related Objects

GR_ITEM_FIELD_NAME_MASKS_B is intrinsically linked to other regulatory and product information entities within the GR and inventory modules. Key related objects include:

• GR_ITEM_FIELD_NAME_MASKS_TL: The corresponding translation table storing the user-facing descriptions of the masks in multiple languages.
• MSI_SYSTEM_ITEMS or EGP_SYSTEM_ITEMS: The master item tables, where the ITEM_CODE likely has a foreign key relationship, linking regulatory masks to tangible products.
• GR_DISCLOSURE_CODES_B / GR_LABEL_CODES_B: Master tables defining the valid disclosure and label codes referenced in this table's foreign keys.
• Primary Key Constraint: GR_ITEM_FIELD_NAME_MASK_B_PK enforces uniqueness on the combination of ITEM_CODE, DISCLOSURE_CODE, and LABEL_CODE.
