The OE_DOC_SEQUENCE_AUDIT table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 serves as an audit trail for document sequencing transactions within the Order Management (OM) module. Document sequencing is a critical feature in Oracle EBS, ensuring that business documents such as sales orders, invoices, and credit memos follow a predefined numbering sequence for compliance, traceability, and reporting purposes. This table captures metadata related to document sequence assignments, modifications, and usage, providing a historical record for auditing and troubleshooting.

Purpose and Functional Context

Document sequencing in Oracle EBS is governed by the FND_DOCUMENT_SEQUENCES and related tables, which define the rules for generating unique document numbers. The OE_DOC_SEQUENCE_AUDIT table specifically logs events tied to the assignment and consumption of these sequences in the Order Management module. It acts as a secondary layer of tracking, complementing Oracle's standard auditing framework. Key scenarios logged include:
  • Initial assignment of a document sequence to an order or return.
  • Updates to document sequence values due to corrections or reversals.
  • System-generated or manual overrides of sequences.

Table Structure and Key Columns

The OE_DOC_SEQUENCE_AUDIT table typically includes the following columns:
Column NameData TypeDescription
AUDIT_IDNUMBERPrimary key, auto-incremented identifier.
DOC_SEQUENCE_IDNUMBERForeign key to FND_DOCUMENT_SEQUENCES.
DOC_SEQUENCE_VALUEVARCHAR2The assigned or modified sequence value.
TRANSACTION_TYPEVARCHAR2Event type (e.g., 'ASSIGN', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE').
ORDER_HEADER_IDNUMBERForeign key to OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL.
CREATED_BYNUMBERUser ID initiating the action.
CREATION_DATEDATETimestamp of the audit record.
NOTESVARCHAR2Optional comments or system-generated context.

Integration with Order Management

The table integrates with Oracle Order Management's document sequencing workflow. When a document sequence is assigned to an order header (OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL.DOC_SEQUENCE_VALUE), a corresponding audit entry is created in OE_DOC_SEQUENCE_AUDIT. This linkage ensures traceability from the order back to the sequence definition and its audit history. In EBS 12.2.2, enhancements to the auditing framework may include additional columns for cloud compliance or extended logging capabilities.

Audit and Compliance Use Cases

Organizations leverage this table for:
  1. Regulatory Compliance: Demonstrating an unbroken chain of document numbers for financial audits.
  2. Discrepancy Resolution: Investigating gaps or duplicates in document sequences by analyzing timestamped audit entries.
  3. Process Optimization: Identifying frequent manual overrides or sequence exhaustion scenarios.

Technical Considerations

In EBS 12.2.2, the table may be subject to Oracle's Online Patching (ADOP) requirements, meaning DDL changes require patching cycles. Performance overhead is minimal as inserts occur only during sequence transactions. For high-volume environments, partitioning or purging strategies may be implemented via concurrent programs.

Conclusion

The OE_DOC_SEQUENCE_AUDIT table is a specialized component of Oracle EBS's document sequencing infrastructure, providing granular visibility into sequence lifecycle events within Order Management. Its structured data supports compliance, operational integrity, and forensic analysis, aligning with Oracle's broader audit capabilities in both 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 releases.
