ORACLE QUALITY TECHNICAL DETAILSCollection elements and collection plans for major part of Quality module setups. Collection elements details can be access view QA_CHARS_V while collection plan details can be accessed using QA_PLAN_CHARS_V. This view gives details of which collection elements are included in a given plan.All the Quality transaction data is stored in QA_RESULTS table. The data is segregated by Quality Collection Plans. QA_RESULTS table has references to Item, Purchase Order, Sales Order, WIP job, Receiving Transactions etc. Other than reference columns QA_RESULTS table has 100 VARCHAR2 columns from CHARACTER1-CHARACTER100. Based on quality plan definition, these character columns store different data.When ever a new plan is created, Oracle Applications creates two views automatically with names Q__V and Q__IV. View Q__V is based on QA_RESULTS table while Q__IV is based on QA_RESULTS_INTERFACE table which is used for importing huge data in Quality. QA_RESULTS table stores data for all quality plans and data is segregated by PLAN_ID column. The Character1-100 columns are mapped to quality plan elements based on plan structure. Since Oracle Apps automatically creates respective views for each plan, a developer doesn't have to maintain mapping between Character fields and data elements. View columns have plan element names which are mapped to character1 to 100 columns. Views have only those columns which are present in plan and not all 100 qa_results columns.
