Overview

The PRP_TEMPLATE_LANG_ATTRS table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite Proposals (PRP) module. It functions as a language-specific extension table for proposal templates, enabling the storage of multilingual attributes. Its primary role is to support the creation and management of proposal templates in multiple languages, a critical requirement for global deployments of Oracle EBS. The table ensures that language-dependent elements of a template, such as descriptive text or locale-specific formatting instructions, are maintained separately from the core template definition, thereby facilitating internationalization.

Key Information Stored

The table stores a unique record for each language variant of a template. Its key columns, as defined by its primary and unique keys, are central to its function. The TEMPLATE_LANG_ATTR_ID column serves as the primary surrogate key. The TEMPLATE_ID column is a foreign key that links the record to its parent template in the PRP_TEMPLATES_B table, which holds the language-independent template definition. The LANGUAGE column is a foreign key referencing the FND_LANGUAGES table, storing the standard Oracle language code (e.g., 'US' for American English, 'D' for German). While the provided metadata does not list specific attribute columns, the table's description indicates it contains language-related attributes, which typically include fields for translated names, descriptions, instructions, or other text that must be presented in the user's selected language.

Common Use Cases and Queries

A primary use case is generating a proposal document in a user's preferred language. The application queries this table to fetch the correct language-specific text blocks to merge with the template's structure. For reporting and administration, common queries involve listing all available language translations for a given template or identifying templates missing translations for a target language. A sample SQL pattern to retrieve template details with their English descriptions would be:

  • SELECT t.template_name, l.description
  • FROM prp_templates_b t, prp_template_lang_attrs l
  • WHERE t.template_id = l.template_id
  • AND l.language = 'US';

Data maintenance tasks, such as adding a new language translation or updating existing translated text, are performed through this table, often via the standard Proposals user interface or supporting APIs.

Related Objects

PRP_TEMPLATE_LANG_ATTRS has defined relationships with two key tables, forming the backbone of the template's multilingual architecture.

  • PRP_TEMPLATES_B: This is the primary parent table for the core, language-independent template definition. The relationship is enforced by the foreign key where PRP_TEMPLATE_LANG_ATTRS.TEMPLATE_ID references PRP_TEMPLATES_B. A single template in PRP_TEMPLATES_B can have multiple corresponding language-specific records in PRP_TEMPLATE_LANG_ATTRS.
  • FND_LANGUAGES: This Oracle Applications Foundation table provides the valid list of installed languages. The foreign key PRP_TEMPLATE_LANG_ATTRS.LANGUAGE references FND_LANGUAGES.LANGUAGE_CODE, ensuring data integrity for the language attribute.

These relationships ensure that every language-specific attribute is permanently associated with a valid master template and a supported application language.
