Inventory tables and EAM Tables join links

 In Oracle E-Business Suite R12, the Inventory and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) modules

have several tables that can be joined to establish links between them.

The integration typically revolves around the usage of inventory items within maintenance activities managed by EAM.

Below are some tables from both modules and their potential join links:

Inventory Module Tables:

--------------------------

1. MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B: This table holds basic item information such as item number, description, unit of measure, and other attributes.

2. MTL_UNITS_OF_MEASURE: Contains unit of measure details which can be used to convert quantities between different units.

3. MTL_ITEM_LOCATIONS: Stores item quantities and other location-specific information.

4. MTL_TRANSACTION_ACCOUNTS: Contains accounting information for inventory transactions.

EAM Module Tables:

----------------------

1. EAM_WORK_ORDERS: Holds information about work orders, including work order numbers, descriptions, statuses, etc.

2. EAM_TASKS: Contains details of tasks associated with work orders.

3. EAM_MATERIAL_ISSUES: Stores information about material issue transactions made during maintenance activities.

4. EAM_RESOURCES: Holds data about resources (e.g., employees, tools) assigned to tasks.

Potential Join Links:

-------------------------

1. Join between Inventory Item and EAM Material Issue:

   - `MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID = EAM_MATERIAL_ISSUES.ITEM_ID`

2. Join between Inventory Item and EAM Work Order:

   - `MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID = EAM_WORK_ORDERS.ITEM_ID`

3. Join between Inventory Item and EAM Task:

   - This can be done through a chain of joins: 

     - `MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID = EAM_MATERIAL_ISSUES.ITEM_ID`

     - `EAM_MATERIAL_ISSUES.TASK_ID = EAM_TASKS.TASK_ID`

4. Join between Inventory Item and EAM Resource:

   - This can be done through a chain of joins: 

     - `MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID = EAM_MATERIAL_ISSUES.ITEM_ID`

     - `EAM_MATERIAL_ISSUES.RESOURCE_ID = EAM_RESOURCES.RESOURCE_ID`

These join links allow you to connect inventory-related tables from the Inventory module with tables from the EAM module.

By joining these tables appropriately, you can retrieve integrated information about inventory items

used in maintenance activities managed by the EAM module in Oracle E-Business Suite R12.
