This error occurs when a List of Values (LOV) query returns no results.

Understanding Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS)

Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is a comprehensive suite of integrated business applications designed to help organizations manage their business processes. It includes modules for finance, human resources, supply chain, and more, providing a unified platform for enterprise resource planning (ERP).

Identifying the Symptom: APP-FND-01436 Error

When working with Oracle EBS, users may encounter the error message: APP-FND-01436: List of Values cannot find any values. This error typically appears when attempting to access a List of Values (LOV) in a form or report, but the LOV fails to display any data.

What is a List of Values (LOV)?

A List of Values (LOV) is a feature in Oracle EBS that provides users with a dropdown list of valid values for a particular field. It helps ensure data integrity by allowing users to select from predefined options.

Exploring the Issue: Why the Error Occurs

The APP-FND-01436 error occurs when the LOV query does not return any results. This can happen due to several reasons, such as incorrect query logic, missing data in the underlying tables, or improper configuration of the LOV.

Common Causes of the Error

  • Incorrect SQL query in the LOV definition.
  • Data not present in the database tables that the LOV relies on.
  • Incorrect or missing setup in the application configuration.

Steps to Resolve the APP-FND-01436 Error

To resolve this error, follow these steps to diagnose and fix the underlying issue:

Step 1: Verify the LOV Query

Check the SQL query used by the LOV to ensure it is correct and returns the expected results. You can do this by executing the query directly in a SQL tool like SQL*Plus or Oracle SQL Developer.

SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_conditions;

Ensure that the query returns data and that the conditions are appropriate for the LOV's purpose.

Step 2: Check Data Availability

Ensure that the data required by the LOV is available in the database. Verify that the relevant tables contain the necessary records and that there are no data integrity issues.

Step 3: Review LOV Configuration

Check the LOV configuration in Oracle EBS to ensure it is set up correctly. This includes verifying the LOV definition, associated value sets, and any dependencies on other fields or parameters.
