The GHG.GHG_ORG_SIC_MAPPINGS_ALL table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 serves as a critical repository for mapping organizational units to Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes within the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions tracking framework. This table is part of Oracle's Environmental Accounting and Reporting (EAR) module, which facilitates compliance with environmental regulations by enabling organizations to monitor, calculate, and report their carbon footprint. ### **Purpose and Functional Overview** The primary purpose of GHG.GHG_ORG_SIC_MAPPINGS_ALL is to establish a relationship between an organization's internal structure (e.g., operating units, inventory organizations, or facilities) and their corresponding SIC codes. SIC codes are standardized industry identifiers used in regulatory reporting, particularly for emissions disclosures. By maintaining this mapping, Oracle EBS ensures that emissions data can be aggregated and reported according to industry-specific requirements, aiding compliance with frameworks such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates. ### **Key Columns and Structure** The table typically includes the following columns: 1. ORG_ID: References the internal organization identifier (e.g., HR_ORGANIZATION_UNITS.ORGANIZATION_ID). 2. SIC_CODE: Stores the Standard Industrial Classification code associated with the organization. 3. START_DATE and END_DATE: Define the validity period of the mapping, allowing historical tracking. 4. CREATION_DATE, CREATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY: Audit columns for tracking changes. 5. ATTRIBUTE1–15: Flexfields for custom extensions. ### **Integration with Oracle EBS Modules** The table integrates with: - **Inventory (INV)**: Links facilities to SIC codes for emissions calculations per manufacturing site. - **General Ledger (GL)**: Aligns financial reporting units with industry classifications. - **Environmental Accounting (GHG)**: Feeds into emissions calculations and regulatory reports. ### **Data Flow and Usage** 1. **Setup**: Administrators populate the table via Oracle Forms, APIs, or data imports, ensuring each org unit has a valid SIC code. 2. **Emissions Calculations**: The GHG module references this mapping to apply industry-specific emission factors (e.g., from GHG_EMISSION_FACTORS). 3. **Reporting**: Reports like the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory use SIC codes to categorize emissions by industry sector. ### **Technical Considerations** - **Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC)**: The _ALL suffix indicates the table supports multi-org access, filtering data by ORG_ID. - **Indexing**: Typically indexed on ORG_ID and SIC_CODE for performance. - **APIs**: Custom PL/SQL APIs or Oracle’s public interfaces (e.g., GHG_ORG_SIC_PUB) may be used for CRUD operations. ### **Customization and Extensions** Organizations often extend the table via descriptive flexfields (DFFs) to capture additional attributes like regional regulatory codes (e.g., NAICS) or internal taxonomies. ### **Conclusion** The GHG.GHG_ORG_SIC_MAPPINGS_ALL table is a foundational component in Oracle EBS for environmental compliance, bridging operational data with regulatory requirements. Its design ensures scalability, auditability, and alignment with global emissions reporting standards, making it indispensable for enterprises tracking sustainability metrics in EBS 12.1.1 or 12.2.2.
