Overview

WMS_LPN_CONTENTS_INTERFACE is an open interface table in the Warehouse Management (WMS) module of Oracle E-Business Suite, present in both release 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It serves as a staging and preprocessing area for License Plate Number (LPN) contents associated with Advanced Shipment Notices (ASNs). Records are populated by external systems, suppliers, or upstream Oracle processes prior to validation and ingestion by the WMS inbound receiving flow, where LPN contents are ultimately materialized into the operational WMS tables. The table is owned by the WMS schema and is documented with 110 columns in ETRM 12.2.2.

Under a heuristic Data Vault classification, this object is satellite-leaning. It behaves as a descriptive, transactional staging record that hangs off a driving receiving transaction, holding the descriptive detail of LPN contents rather than acting as an independent hub or a pure associative link. Modelers should treat it as a satellite attached to the receiving transaction hub/link.

Key Information Stored

The table holds inbound LPN content detail plus extensive descriptive and flexfield attributes. The most significant columns include:

No surrogate single-column primary key is documented; the interface transaction identifier and LPN number function as the practical business keys used to correlate staged rows with their receiving transaction.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical scenarios include validating and reconciling inbound LPNs before they are consumed by the WMS receiving process, troubleshooting rejected or stuck interface rows, and reporting on ASN LPN contents. A representative query joins the interface to its parent receiving transaction:

  • SELECT i.LICENSE_PLATE_NUMBER, i.ITEM_NUM, i.QUANTITY, i.UOM_CODE, r.TRANSACTION_ID FROM WMS.WMS_LPN_CONTENTS_INTERFACE i, RCV.RCV_TRANSACTIONS_INTERFACE r WHERE i.INTERFACE_TRANSACTION_ID = r.INTERFACE_TRANSACTION_ID;
  • Filter by STATUS_ID or STATUS_NAME to isolate rows pending processing.
  • Group by GROUP_ID and REQUEST_ID to audit a specific submission run.
  • Reconcile LOT_NUMBER, SERIAL ranges, and quantities against the ASN for exception reporting.
