Overview

The table OZF_CLAIMS_HISTORY_ALL is a core data object within the Oracle Trade Management (OZF) module of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. Its primary function is to serve as an audit and historical repository for changes made to the header-level information of trade claims. A claim in Trade Management represents a request for payment or accrual related to trade promotions, discounts, or other incentive programs. This table systematically captures a chronological record of modifications to claim headers, enabling traceability, compliance reporting, and analysis of claim lifecycle changes over time. It is a multi-organization table, as indicated by the "_ALL" suffix, meaning it stores data for all operating units accessible to a user, with data partitioning typically managed via the ORG_ID column.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is centered on capturing a snapshot of claim header data at the point of a change event. The primary key, CLAIM_HISTORY_ID, uniquely identifies each historical record. The most critical foreign key column is CLAIM_ID, which links the history entry back to its source claim in the OZF_CLAIMS_ALL table. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, standard practice for such history tables dictates it will include a comprehensive set of columns mirroring those in the main claims header table (OZF_CLAIMS_ALL), such as claim number, status, amount, dates, and associated party information. Additionally, it will contain audit columns like CREATION_DATE, CREATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, and LAST_UPDATED_BY to track who made the change and when. A column indicating the type of change (e.g., status update, amount correction) may also be present.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is essential for auditing and analytical reporting. Common use cases include generating audit trails for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) or internal compliance, analyzing the frequency and pattern of claim modifications, and troubleshooting claim processing issues by reviewing the sequence of historical states. A typical query would retrieve the complete change history for a specific claim, ordered chronologically. For example:

SELECT claim_id, claim_status, creation_date, created_by
FROM ozf_claims_history_all
WHERE claim_id = :p_claim_id
ORDER BY creation_date DESC;

Another common pattern is to join with OZF_CLAIMS_ALL to report on claims that have undergone a specific status change within a date range, providing insight into approval or rejection cycles within the trade promotion process.

Related Objects

  • OZF_CLAIMS_ALL: This is the primary parent table. The foreign key relationship OZF_CLAIMS_HISTORY_ALL.CLAIM_ID references OZF_CLAIMS_ALL. Each historical record is fundamentally tied to a master claim header.
  • OZF_CLAIM_LINES_HIST_ALL: This is a child table. The foreign key OZF_CLAIM_LINES_HIST_ALL.CLAIM_HISTORY_ID references OZF_CLAIMS_HISTORY_ALL.CLAIM_HISTORY_ID. This relationship indicates that for every header history record, there can be corresponding detailed history records for the individual claim lines, creating a complete historical snapshot of both header and line data.
