How to Find Supplier Details

Question

How to Select *(Supplier Name , Supplier Number ,Tax Registration Num , Taxpayer ID , Alternate Supplier Name , SIC , Address Line 1 , City , State )* To a specific Supplier.
I used ap_suppliers but I did not distinguish the corresponding columns to the needed feilds.
And please I need a systematic way to find out the base tables to a self services EBS Applications. Just like Suppliers enquiry and entry windows.
Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Assuming that you want to see the query which lies behind the self service form.
First ensure personalisations are enabled.
Navigate to the form in question and query back a suitable supplier.
In the bottom left hand corner of the form there is a link 'About this Form' (If the link isn't there then personalisations are not switched on, so you'll need to go back to the first step and resolve that) - click on the link.
Scroll down to the section 'Business Component Reference Detail' - expand that by clicking on the '+'.
In the 'View Objects' section there should be a link 'oracle.apps.pos.supplier.server.VendorsVO' - click on that link and you will see the query which populated that section of the form. From that you should be able to figure out exactly which table and/or view provides the data and which column the data comes from. You may need to work through other links in that section to get everything you need.
