Search Results analysis




The QRM_SAVED_ANALYSES_ROW table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 is a critical data structure within the Quality Management (QM) module, specifically supporting the Quality Results Manager (QRM) functionality. This table stores detailed row-level data for saved quality analyses, enabling users to retain, retrieve, and reuse analytical configurations for quality inspections, tests, and compliance reporting. Below is a detailed breakdown of its purpose, structure, and integration within Oracle EBS.

Purpose and Functional Context

The QRM_SAVED_ANALYSES_ROW table acts as a repository for granular data associated with saved quality analyses. These analyses are typically used to evaluate product quality, monitor manufacturing processes, or ensure regulatory compliance. By persisting analysis configurations, organizations can standardize quality checks, reduce manual reconfiguration efforts, and ensure consistency in reporting. The table works in tandem with QRM_SAVED_ANALYSES (which stores header-level information) to provide a complete framework for reusable quality analysis templates.

Key Columns and Data Structure

The table's schema includes columns that capture both metadata and substantive data for each analysis row. Notable columns include:
  • SAVED_ANALYSIS_ROW_ID: Primary key, uniquely identifying each row in the table.
  • SAVED_ANALYSIS_ID: Foreign key linking to the parent record in QRM_SAVED_ANALYSES.
  • ROW_NUMBER: Sequence number defining the order of rows within an analysis.
  • CRITERIA_TYPE: Specifies the type of quality criterion (e.g., attribute, variable, or pass/fail).
  • CRITERIA_VALUE: Stores the actual value or threshold for the quality criterion.
  • OPERATOR: Defines the comparison operator (e.g., "=", ">", "<") for evaluating results.
  • CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE: Audit columns tracking record creation and modifications.

Integration with Oracle EBS Modules

The table integrates with several EBS modules:
  1. Quality Management (QM): Core integration for defining and executing quality tests.
  2. Inventory Management (INV): Links quality criteria to specific items or lots.
  3. Manufacturing (WIP, BOM): Supports in-process quality checks during production.
  4. Procurement (PO): Validates supplier quality performance.

Technical Considerations

  • Indexing: The table is typically indexed on SAVED_ANALYSIS_ID and SAVED_ANALYSIS_ROW_ID for efficient querying.
  • Partitioning: In high-volume environments, partitioning by CREATION_DATE may improve performance.
  • API Usage: Oracle provides PL/SQL APIs (e.g., QRM_SAVED_ANALYSES_PKG) to interact with the table programmatically.

Customization and Extensions

Organizations often extend the table's functionality by:
  • Adding custom columns for industry-specific quality metrics.
  • Developing triggers to enforce business rules during data manipulation.
  • Integrating with BI tools for advanced analytics.

Conclusion

The QRM_SAVED_ANALYSES_ROW table is a foundational component of Oracle EBS's Quality Management infrastructure, enabling systematic quality control through reusable analysis templates. Its design supports flexibility, auditability, and integration across manufacturing, inventory, and procurement processes. Proper utilization of this table can significantly enhance quality assurance efficiency and data-driven decision-making in Oracle EBS environments.
