POS_SUPPLIER_REGISTRATIONS in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2
The POS_SUPPLIER_REGISTRATIONS table is a critical component within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically designed to support supplier registration processes in the Procurement and Sourcing modules. This table serves as a repository for supplier registration data, enabling organizations to onboard new suppliers efficiently while maintaining compliance with procurement policies.
Table Structure and Key Columns
Column Name Data Type Description
REGISTRATION_ID NUMBER Primary key identifier for each supplier registration
SUPPLIER_ID NUMBER References PO_VENDORS.VENDOR_ID for registered suppliers
REGISTRATION_STATUS VARCHAR2 Current status (PENDING, APPROVED, REJECTED)
CREATION_DATE DATE Timestamp when registration was initiated
CREATED_BY NUMBER User ID of the creator (references FND_USER.USER_ID)
Functional Integration
The table integrates with multiple Oracle EBS modules:
  • iSupplier Portal: Serves as the primary interface for supplier self-registration
  • Purchasing: Links to PO_VENDORS for approved supplier creation
  • Approval Management Engine (AME): Manages workflow approvals
  • System Administration: Utilizes FND_USER for authentication
Business Process Flow
The supplier registration process typically follows this sequence:
  1. Potential supplier submits registration through iSupplier Portal
  2. System creates record in POS_SUPPLIER_REGISTRATIONS with PENDING status
  3. Approval workflow routes request to appropriate procurement staff
  4. Upon approval, system creates vendor record in PO_VENDORS
  5. Registration status updates to APPROVED with supplier_id populated
Technical Considerations
Key technical aspects of POS_SUPPLIER_REGISTRATIONS include:
  • Table is owned by the POS (Procurement) schema
  • Indexed on REGISTRATION_ID (primary key) and SUPPLIER_ID (foreign key)
  • Triggers maintain data integrity with related tables
  • Customizations should preserve the standard approval workflow
Version-Specific Features
In EBS 12.2.2, enhancements include:
  • Extended attributes for supplier diversity tracking
  • Integration with Oracle Supplier Qualification Management
  • Enhanced audit capabilities through Oracle Audit Vault
The POS_SUPPLIER_REGISTRATIONS table represents a critical control point in supplier lifecycle management, ensuring proper vetting and approval of suppliers before they can participate in procurement activities. Its design reflects Oracle's best practices for supplier information management while providing flexibility for organizational-specific requirements.
