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.
