The OZF_REQUEST_HEADERS_ALL_B table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 is a critical data structure within the Oracle Trade Management (OTM) module, specifically designed to store header-level information for funding requests. This table serves as the foundation for managing marketing funds, promotions, and trade promotions within Oracle Advanced Pricing and Oracle Trade Management. Below is a detailed analysis of its purpose, structure, key columns, and integration within Oracle EBS.

Purpose and Functional Context

The OZF_REQUEST_HEADERS_ALL_B table acts as the primary repository for funding request headers, which are essential for trade promotions, co-op advertising, and other marketing initiatives. It captures high-level attributes such as request status, approval workflow details, budget allocations, and associated business entities (e.g., customers, partners). This table integrates with Oracle Order Management, Oracle Receivables, and Oracle General Ledger to ensure financial accountability and transactional traceability.

Key Columns and Data Structure

The table comprises columns that define the metadata and transactional attributes of funding requests. Notable columns include:

REQUEST_HEADER_ID: Primary key, uniquely identifying each funding request.
REQUEST_NUMBER: User-friendly identifier for the request.
STATUS_CODE: Tracks the request lifecycle (e.g., "DRAFT," "APPROVED," "REJECTED").
START_DATE_ACTIVE and END_DATE_ACTIVE: Define the validity period of the request.
CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE: Standard Oracle audit columns.
ORG_ID: Multi-org identifier, linking the request to a specific operating unit.
CURRENCY_CODE: Specifies the currency for financial calculations.
BUDGET_AMOUNT: Total allocated budget for the request.

Integration with Other Modules

The table interacts with several Oracle EBS components:

Oracle Trade Management: Links to OZF_OFFERS and OZF_CLAIMS for promotion execution.
Oracle Advanced Pricing: Integrates with QP_* tables to apply pricing adjustments tied to promotions.
Oracle Workflow: Manages approval processes via WF_* tables.
Oracle Financials: Synchronizes with GL_JE_HEADERS and AR_CASH_RECEIPTS for fund disbursement.

Technical Considerations

Indexing: Key columns like REQUEST_HEADER_ID and REQUEST_NUMBER are indexed for performance.
Partitioning: In high-volume environments, partitioning by ORG_ID or CREATION_DATE may be implemented.
API Interactions: Oracle provides PL/SQL APIs (OZF_REQUEST_PUB) for programmatic access.

Customization and Extensions

The table supports custom attributes through the OZF_REQUEST_HEADERS_ALL_B entity in Oracle Application Framework (OAF), enabling extensions like additional approval hierarchies or industry-specific fields. However, direct DML operations are discouraged; instead, Oracle recommends using standard APIs to maintain data integrity.

Conclusion

The OZF_REQUEST_HEADERS_ALL_B table is a cornerstone of Oracle Trade Management, enabling end-to-end management of funding requests. Its design reflects Oracle EBS's modular architecture, ensuring seamless integration with financial, pricing, and workflow modules. Understanding its structure and relationships is essential for configuring, customizing, or troubleshooting trade promotion processes in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.
