Is there anyway to tell what is the database column behind the form field (in Oracle financials).

If you are lucky, it can be simple, but if you are unlucky, it can be very complicated.
Using Help > Diagnostics > Examine when in the field will give you the name of the field.
Help > Diagnostics > Examine (Block: SYSTEM / Field: LAST_QUERY) will give you the query for the last block queried, which may or may not be the block you want, depending on how the form is defined (ie Master Detail relationships). If this is for the correct block and the field name is one of the columns returned by the query, then that is probably your answer.
If the Last Query is not for the correct block, using Help > Record History will give you the table or view that the block is based on (only where there is already a record in the block).
If the field name matches a column name in the table or view, then that is probably where it comes from. If there is no matching column name in the table or view, then the field is probably not queried directly from the database as part of the main query - it is probably populated by logic in the form, like the POST-QUERY trigger on the block. This means you need to open the form in Forms Builder to find what is populating your field (Program > Find and Replace PL/SQL is very handy for this).
