Overview

The LM_SPRD_TEC table is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite Process Manufacturing (GMD) product development module. Its primary function is to persist the values of technical parameters associated with a laboratory spreadsheet, which is a fundamental tool for managing and analyzing product formulation and process development data. This table acts as a detailed child record, linking specific technical measurements and specifications to individual lines within a broader spreadsheet structure, thereby enabling granular data capture for quality control, recipe development, and experimental analysis.

Key Information Stored

The table's design centers on a composite primary key that ensures uniqueness for each parameter entry within a specific spreadsheet line. The key columns are LINE_ID, which links to a row in the parent spreadsheet; LAB_TYPE, indicating the laboratory context or classification; and TECH_PARM_NAME, identifying the specific technical parameter being recorded. A critical foreign key column is SPRD_ID, which ties all parameter values for a spreadsheet line back to its master header record in the LM_SPRD_FLS table. Other columns, implied by the foreign key relationships, would store the actual measured or specified values for the TECH_PARM_NAME, connecting them to the valid parameter definitions maintained in the LM_TECH_HDR table.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to reporting and validating technical data from product development experiments. A common use case involves retrieving all technical parameter results for a specific spreadsheet or formulation trial for analysis. A typical query would join LM_SPRD_TEC to LM_SPRD_FLS to filter by a specific spreadsheet identifier or batch. For example, to audit all parameter values for a given spreadsheet, one might use: SELECT t.sprd_id, t.line_id, t.tech_parm_name, t.parameter_value FROM gmd.lm_sprd_tec t, gmd.lm_sprd_fls f WHERE t.sprd_id = f.sprd_id AND f.sprd_name = '<SPREADSHEET_NAME>';. Data integrity checks often involve verifying that all TECH_PARM_NAME values have corresponding definitions in LM_TECH_HDR.

Related Objects

  • LM_SPRD_FLS: This is the primary parent table. The foreign key on LM_SPRD_TEC.SPRD_ID references LM_SPRD_FLS, establishing that technical parameter values belong to a specific spreadsheet header.
  • LM_TECH_HDR: This table serves as a reference or validation source. The foreign key relationship on the composite of LAB_TYPE and TECH_PARM_NAME ensures that parameters recorded in the spreadsheet are defined and controlled in the technical parameters master.
  • LM_SPRD_TEC_PK: The primary key constraint on LINE_ID, LAB_TYPE, and TECH_PARM_NAME that enforces uniqueness for parameter entries per spreadsheet line.
