Overview

The AMW_AUDIT_PROCEDURES_TL table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) module AMW - Internal Controls Manager. This table is a translation table (denoted by the '_TL' suffix) that stores language-dependent, or translatable, text for audit procedures. Its primary role is to support the multilingual capabilities of the application by holding the translated names and descriptions of audit procedures, enabling global deployments to present content in a user's preferred language. It operates in conjunction with its base table, AMW_AUDIT_PROCEDURES_B, which stores the language-independent structural and control data for the same procedures.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to manage multiple language entries for a single audit procedure. The primary key is a composite of AUDIT_PROCEDURE_REV_ID and LANGUAGE, ensuring a unique entry for each procedure revision in each supported language. Key columns include AUDIT_PROCEDURE_REV_ID, which is the foreign key linking to the base table, and LANGUAGE, which stores the language code (e.g., 'US' for American English). The table's critical content columns are typically AUDIT_PROCEDURE_NAME and MEANING (or DESCRIPTION), which hold the translated textual labels and explanatory text for the audit procedure, respectively. Standard Translation table columns like CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, and LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN are also present for auditing purposes.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case is retrieving user-facing procedure text in the session language for forms, reports, and online inquiries within the Internal Controls Manager. A common reporting scenario involves joining the translation table with its base table to create a comprehensive, language-specific audit procedure listing. A typical query pattern is:

  • SELECT b.audit_procedure_rev_id, tl.audit_procedure_name, tl.meaning, b.control_owner FROM amw_audit_procedures_b b, amw_audit_procedures_tl tl WHERE b.audit_procedure_rev_id = tl.audit_procedure_rev_id AND tl.language = USERENV('LANG');

Data maintenance activities, such as applying translation patches or adding support for a new language, target this table to insert or update the translated strings for existing procedure revisions.

Related Objects

The AMW_AUDIT_PROCEDURES_TL table has a direct and critical dependency on the AMW_AUDIT_PROCEDURES_B table. The documented foreign key relationship is:

  • Foreign Key to AMW_AUDIT_PROCEDURES_B: The column AMW_AUDIT_PROCEDURES_TL.AUDIT_PROCEDURE_REV_ID references the AMW_AUDIT_PROCEDURES_B table. This relationship enforces referential integrity, ensuring every translated entry corresponds to a valid base audit procedure record. All joins for meaningful data retrieval must use this key column.

Other application objects, such as views, forms, and APIs within the AMW module, will reference this TL table to source displayable text. Standard EBS multilingual architecture also implies dependencies on seed data tables like FND_LANGUAGES that define the valid LANGUAGE codes.
