Overview

The PV_GE_QSNR_ELEMENTS_B table is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Partner Management (PV) module, specifically for versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It functions as the primary container for storing the definitional details of individual elements or questions that comprise questionnaires. These questionnaires are utilized across the Partner Management module to gather structured information, such as during partner enrollment, program qualification, or referral tracking. The table's role is to maintain the master list of reusable question elements, their data types, validation rules, and their association with specific business entities like partner programs or referral types, enabling standardized data collection processes.

Key Information Stored

The table stores metadata that defines each questionnaire element. The primary key is QSNR_ELEMENT_ID, which uniquely identifies each element. Based on the foreign key relationships documented, other critical columns include USED_BY_ENTITY_ID, which links the element to a specific business entity defined in PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_B or PV_REFERRALS_B, determining where the question is applied. The ENTITY_ATTR_ID column likely references PV_ENTITY_ATTRS, suggesting the table can map questionnaire answers to specific partner or entity attributes for automatic population. While the full column list is not provided in the excerpt, typical columns in such a table would include DATA_TYPE, DISPLAY_SEQUENCE, MANDATORY_FLAG, DEFAULT_VALUE, and VALIDATION_LOGIC, controlling how the element is rendered and validated in the application's user interface.

Common Use Cases and Queries

A primary use case is generating a list of all active questions for a specific partner program to support a custom enrollment report or integration. Administrators may query this table to audit questionnaire structures or troubleshoot missing elements. A common SQL pattern involves joining to the translated table (PV_GE_QSNR_ELEMENTS_TL) to fetch the element's text in a specific language and to the referenced entity tables for context.

  • Sample Query: To find all questionnaire elements defined for a specific partner program (ID: 1001), including their display sequence and associated attribute.
SELECT b.qsnr_element_id,
       tl.element_label,
       b.display_sequence,
       b.entity_attr_id
FROM   pv_ge_qsnr_elements_b b,
       pv_ge_qsnr_elements_tl tl,
       pv_partner_program_b pp
WHERE  b.qsnr_element_id = tl.qsnr_element_id
AND    tl.language = USERENV('LANG')
AND    b.used_by_entity_id = pp.partner_program_id
AND    pp.partner_program_id = 1001
ORDER BY b.display_sequence;

Related Objects

This table is central to the questionnaire framework and has defined relationships with several key objects. The PV_GE_QSNR_ELEMENTS_TL table provides translated descriptions and labels for the elements in multiple languages. It is referenced by foreign keys from two major entities: PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_B (for program-specific questionnaires) and PV_REFERRALS_B (for referral-related questionnaires). The link to PV_ENTITY_ATTRS indicates a mapping capability to standard partner attributes. In practice, this base table is typically accessed via higher-level APIs or views within the Partner Management module rather than via direct DML, ensuring business logic integrity.
