Overview

OZF_SD_REQUEST_HEADERS_ALL_B is the base transaction table in the Oracle Trade Management (OZF) module that stores ship-and-debit request header information. Ship-and-debit requests are the mechanism by which suppliers and distributors reconcile accrued trade promotions: a partner submits a claim for a promotional allowance, the claim is tracked through its lifecycle, and it is ultimately settled against a budget or accrued liability. This table captures the header-level identity, classification, financial budget, workflow dates, and supplier/customer context for every such request across all operating units, as indicated by the presence of ORG_ID and the _ALL suffix.

The metadata classifies this object as hub-leaning under a heuristic Data Vault analysis. In modeling terms, it functions primarily as a hub: it holds the durable business key (REQUEST_HEADER_ID) around which descriptive and transactional attributes are organized, with foreign key links to FND_SECURITY_GROUPS and HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS acting as supporting dimensions. A translator table (OZF_SD_REQUEST_HEADERS_ALL_TL) supplies the translated/display attributes.

Key Information Stored

The table contains 69 documented columns. The most significant grouping is as follows:

• REQUEST_HEADER_ID — the surrogate primary key and the single most important join column across the Trade Management schema. It is backed by the unique index OZF_SD_REQUEST_HDRS_ALL_B_U1.
• OFFER_ID — the linked trade promotion offer. This is a second documented business-key candidate, backed by unique index OZF_SD_REQUEST_HDRS_ALL_B_U2, meaning each offer can be tied to only one request header.
• REQUEST_NUMBER / REQUEST_CLASS / REQUEST_TYPE_SETUP_ID — the human-readable identifier and the classification/configuration of the claim.
• REQUEST_START_DATE / REQUEST_END_DATE — the promotional period the claim relates to.
• REQUEST_CURRENCY_CODE, REQUESTED_BUDGET_AMOUNT, APPROVED_BUDGET_AMOUNT — the financial measures of the claim.
• REQUEST_OUTCOME, DECLINE_REASON_CODE, RETURN_REASON_CODE, USER_STATUS_ID — workflow outcome and status tracking.
• CUST_ACCOUNT_ID — the customer account (HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS) to which the request applies.
• SUPPLIER_ID / SUPPLIER_SITE_ID / SUPPLIER_CONTACT_ID — supplier-side identification for supplier-submitted claims.
• REQUEST_SOURCE, REQUEST_BASIS, ACCRUAL_TYPE — how and on what basis the claim was originated and accrued.
• SECURITY_GROUP_ID and ORG_ID — multi-tenant security grouping and operating unit context.

Standard EBS audit columns (CREATION_DATE, CREATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, OBJECT_VERSION_NUMBER) and the ATTRIBUTE1–15 flexfield set are also present.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical reporting needs include claim aging, budget-versus-approved variance, and supplier response cycle-time analysis. A common pattern joins the header to the translator table for display text:

SELECT h.request_number, t.request_description,
       h.requested_budget_amount, h.approved_budget_amount
  FROM ozf.ozf_sd_request_headers_all_b h,
       ozf.ozf_sd_request_headers_all_tl t
 WHERE h.request_header_id = t.request_header_id;

Other frequently used patterns include filtering on REQUEST_OUTCOME to identify declined claims, aggregating approved amounts by OFFER_ID to compare against promotion budgets, and joining to HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS to report claims by trading partner. Because the table is an _ALL table, queries should generally constrain by ORG_ID for a specific operating unit unless a cross-org report is intended.
