Overview

The AMW_OPINION_COMPONTS_B table is a core data object within the AMW (Internal Controls Manager) module of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) releases 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. As the base table for opinion components, it serves as a master repository for defining the discrete, configurable elements that collectively constitute a formal assessment or opinion within the internal controls framework. Its primary role is to establish the structural building blocks for control evaluations, enabling organizations to systematically document and report on the effectiveness of their risk and compliance posture. This table is integral to the structured opinion management functionality of the AMW product.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to uniquely identify and categorize each opinion component. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the documented primary and foreign keys reveal its critical data points. The primary key, OPINION_COMPONENT_ID, is a unique identifier for each component record. A significant foreign key, OBJECT_OPINION_TYPE_ID, links the component to a specific opinion type definition in the AMW_OBJECT_OPINION_TYPES table, classifying the component within a broader assessment framework. This relationship allows for the flexible grouping of components under different opinion categories relevant to various control objectives or audit cycles.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to queries that retrieve the definitional components of an internal controls opinion. Common use cases include generating the list of all components required for a specific type of assessment, building configuration screens for opinion setup within the AMW application, and serving as a validation source for data entry. A typical reporting query would join this base table to its corresponding translation table (AMW_OPINION_COMPONTS_TL) to fetch user-friendly names in the session language, and to the AMW_OPINION_DETAILS table to retrieve specific assessment instances. A fundamental SQL pattern is:

  • SELECT b.OPINION_COMPONENT_ID, tl.NAME, b.OBJECT_OPINION_TYPE_ID FROM AMW_OPINION_COMPONTS_B b, AMW_OPINION_COMPONTS_TL tl WHERE b.OPINION_COMPONENT_ID = tl.OPINION_COMPONENT_ID AND tl.LANGUAGE = USERENV('LANG');

Related Objects

The AMW_OPINION_COMPONTS_B table maintains defined relationships with several other key tables in the AMW schema, forming the backbone of the opinion data model. The documented foreign key relationships are:

  • AMW_OBJECT_OPINION_TYPES: Linked via OBJECT_OPINION_TYPE_ID. This defines the parent opinion type category for the component.
  • AMW_OPINION_COMPONENTS_TL: Linked via OPINION_COMPONENT_ID. This is the translation table that stores the language-specific names and descriptions for the component.
  • AMW_OPINION_DETAILS: Linked via OPINION_COMPONENT_ID. This table stores the actual instances of opinions where specific values are assigned to these components for assessed entities.
  • AMW_OPINION_VALUES_B: Linked via OPINION_COMPONENT_ID. This table likely defines the permissible set of values (e.g., Effective, Ineffective, Not Applicable) that can be assigned to this component during an assessment.
