The SO_ORDER_SOURCES_115 table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 is a critical repository for storing order source information within the Order Management (OM) module. This table is part of the underlying database schema and serves as a reference for tracking the origins of sales orders, returns, and other transactional data. Understanding its structure, relationships, and usage is essential for customization, reporting, and integration purposes in Oracle EBS implementations.

Table Structure and Key Columns

The SO_ORDER_SOURCES_115 table typically contains the following key columns:
  • ORDER_SOURCE_ID: A unique identifier for the order source, often used as a primary key.
  • NAME: A descriptive name for the order source (e.g., "Web Store," "Call Center," "EDI").
  • DESCRIPTION: Additional details about the order source.
  • ENABLED_FLAG: A flag indicating whether the order source is active (Y/N).
  • CREATION_DATE and LAST_UPDATE_DATE: Timestamps for record creation and modification.
  • CREATED_BY and LAST_UPDATED_BY: User IDs of creators and modifiers.

Functional Role in Oracle EBS

In Oracle Order Management, order sources classify the channels through which orders enter the system. The SO_ORDER_SOURCES_115 table acts as a lookup for valid sources, ensuring data consistency and enabling downstream processes like fulfillment, invoicing, and reporting. For example:
  • Orders imported via EDI may use a predefined source like "EDI_850."
  • Manual orders entered by users may reference "MANUAL_ENTRY."
  • Integration with third-party systems (e.g., eCommerce platforms) may involve custom sources.

Integration with Other Modules

The table interacts with several EBS components:
  • Order Management (OM): The OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL table references ORDER_SOURCE_ID to link orders to their origins.
  • Advanced Pricing: Pricing rules may be conditioned on order sources.
  • Shipping Execution: Shipment prioritization can be based on order sources.
  • Receivables: Invoicing and revenue recognition may leverage source data.

Customization and Extensions

Implementations often extend the table's functionality:
  • Custom Sources: Adding new sources (e.g., "MOBILE_APP") requires inserts into this table.
  • Validation: Triggers or APIs may enforce business rules during source assignment.
  • Reporting: BI tools aggregate data by order source for channel analysis.

Technical Considerations

For EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2:
  • The table is part of the ONT (Order Management) schema.
  • Direct DML operations should be avoided; instead, use Oracle APIs like OE_ORDER_SOURCES_PKG.
  • Indexes on ORDER_SOURCE_ID and NAME optimize query performance.

Conclusion

The SO_ORDER_SOURCES_115 table is a foundational element in Oracle EBS Order Management, enabling traceability and process differentiation based on order origination. Proper configuration and maintenance of this table are vital for accurate order processing, analytics, and multi-channel operations. Organizations should adhere to Oracle's best practices when extending or modifying its content to ensure system stability.
