Overview

The MR_TEXT_HDR table is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Process Manufacturing Process Planning (GMP) module. It functions as a master reference table for managing text types within the context of Material Requirements Planning (MRP). Its primary role is to define and categorize different kinds of textual information that can be associated with various planning and scheduling entities, such as parameters, schedules, and shifts. By centralizing these text type definitions, MR_TEXT_HDR ensures data consistency and provides a controlled vocabulary for descriptive fields used throughout the GMP planning engine.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to hold the essential attributes that define a text type. The primary key, TEXT_CODE, is the unique identifier for each text type record. While the specific column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, tables of this nature in Oracle EBS typically include descriptive columns such as DESCRIPTION, ENABLED_FLAG, and CREATION_DATE. The TEXT_CODE value is the critical piece of data stored, as it is referenced by numerous foreign key relationships in dependent tables to link specific data records to their applicable text type classification.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case for MR_TEXT_HDR is to support the attachment of categorized descriptive text to planning data. For instance, a planner may assign a "Safety Note" (TEXT_CODE='SAFETY') to a production schedule or a "Quality Instruction" (TEXT_CODE='QUAL_INST') to a process parameter. Common queries involve listing all active text types for setup purposes or retrieving the description for a specific code used in a report. A typical SQL pattern is a join between a detail table and MR_TEXT_HDR to translate codes into meaningful descriptions for reporting.

  • Retrieving all defined text types: SELECT TEXT_CODE, DESCRIPTION FROM GMP.MR_TEXT_HDR WHERE ENABLED_FLAG = 'Y' ORDER BY TEXT_CODE;
  • Joining to resolve a text code from a schedule detail: SELECT shd.*, hdr.DESCRIPTION FROM GMP.MR_SHCL_DTL shd, GMP.MR_TEXT_HDR hdr WHERE shd.TEXT_CODE = hdr.TEXT_CODE AND shd.SCHEDULE_ID = :p_schedule_id;

Related Objects

As indicated by its foreign key relationships, MR_TEXT_HDR is a parent table referenced by several key planning tables. These dependencies highlight its integral role in the GMP data model:

  • MR_PARM_DTL: References MR_TEXT_HDR to categorize text associated with planning parameters.
  • MR_SHCL_DTL & MR_SHCL_HDR: Reference MR_TEXT_HDR to categorize text at both the header and detail levels of schedules.
  • MR_SHDY_DTL: References MR_TEXT_HDR to categorize text associated with schedule days.

These relationships demonstrate that TEXT_CODE is a shared domain used across multiple entities to standardize the classification of auxiliary text within the Process Planning module.
