Executive Summary

The FND Attachment Functions report documents the configuration of the attachment feature within EBS forms. It details which attachment categories are available in which forms and at what block level.

Business Challenge

  • Customization Management: Tracking where custom attachment categories have been enabled.
  • Troubleshooting: Understanding why a user cannot see the "Paperclip" icon or a specific document category in a form.
  • Security: Verifying that sensitive document categories are only exposed in appropriate functions.

The Solution

This Blitz Report provides a technical map of attachment setups:

  • Function Mapping: Shows the relationship between the Form Function and the Attachment Function.
  • Block Level Detail: Specifies which block in the form (e.g., ORDER_HEADERS) triggers the attachment capability.
  • Category Usage: Lists which document categories (e.g., "Misc", "Internal") are assigned to the function.

Technical Architecture

The report queries FND_ATTACHMENT_FUNCTIONS, FND_ATTACHMENT_BLOCKS, and FND_DOC_CATEGORY_USAGES. It joins with FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS to provide the user-friendly function names.

Parameters & Filtering

  • Function/Form Name: To check setup for a specific screen.
  • Level: Filter by Site, Application, or Responsibility level assignments.

Performance & Optimization

  • Low Impact: This is a configuration report against small metadata tables; performance is generally instant.

FAQ

  • Q: How do I enable attachments on a new form?
    • A: You must define the Attachment Function and Block in the "Attachment Functions" setup form. This report validates that setup.
  • Q: What is the "Primary Key" setup?
    • A: The report shows which fields (e.g., HEADER_ID) are used as the primary key to link the attachment to the record.

Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library

We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.

Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.

Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.

The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

Blitz Report Pivots

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

Blitz Report Dashboard

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.

The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.

If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
