Overview

The OKL_FNCTN_PRMTRS_B table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Leasing and Finance Management (OKL) module. It serves as a repository for storing constant parameter values or the specific association of a parameter to a function. This table is fundamental to the configuration and execution of business logic within the leasing and finance processes, enabling the parameterization of functions to handle data of character, number, or date types. Its role is to provide a structured, referenceable source for static or configurable inputs that drive application behavior, ensuring consistency and maintainability across the module's operations.

Key Information Stored

The table's primary purpose is to define the relationship between a function and its parameters, along with storing constant values. The key columns, as indicated by the metadata, include the primary identifier (ID) and the foreign keys that establish critical relationships. The DSF_ID column links to the OKL_DATA_SRC_FNCTNS_B table, identifying the specific data source function. The PMR_ID column links to the OKL_PARAMETERS_B table, identifying the parameter being used. The table's unique key (FPR_FPR_UK) is a composite of DSF_ID and PMR_ID, enforcing a unique association between a function and a parameter. While the explicit column for the constant value is not detailed in the provided excerpt, the description confirms it stores constant values for parameters, implying the presence of value columns supporting CHAR, Number, and Date data types.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to scenarios requiring the retrieval of configured inputs for financial or leasing calculations and processes. A common use case is the setup and validation of function parameters during system configuration or during the execution of a batch process that relies on predefined constants. For reporting, it can be queried to audit which parameters are associated with specific functions and what their constant values are. A typical SQL query would join this table to its related entities to get a readable list of functions and their parameters:

  • SELECT fpr.id, dsf.function_name, pmr.parameter_name, fpr.constant_value FROM okl_fnctn_prmtrs_b fpr JOIN okl_data_src_fnctns_b dsf ON fpr.dsf_id = dsf.id JOIN okl_parameters_b pmr ON fpr.pmr_id = pmr.id WHERE dsf.function_code = '<specific_function>';

This pattern is essential for technical support, functional analysis, and ensuring the integrity of the parameterization framework.

Related Objects

The OKL_FNCTN_PRMTRS_B table exists within a defined schema of relationships, primarily established through its foreign keys. The documented relationships are as follows:

  • OKL_DATA_SRC_FNCTNS_B: This is the parent table for data source functions. The relationship is defined by the foreign key column OKL_FNCTN_PRMTRS_B.DSF_ID referencing the OKL_DATA_SRC_FNCTNS_B table.
  • OKL_PARAMETERS_B: This is the parent table for parameter definitions. The relationship is defined by the foreign key column OKL_FNCTN_PRMTRS_B.PMR_ID referencing the OKL_PARAMETERS_B table.

These relationships indicate that a record in OKL_FNCTN_PRMTRS_B must correspond to a valid, pre-existing function and a valid, pre-existing parameter, ensuring referential integrity within the parameter management subsystem of the OKL module.
