Overview

AP_VENDOR_SITES_V is a Payables (AP) view owned by the APPS schema in Oracle E-Business Suite. As documented in ETRM, its description is annotated "(Release 10SC Only)," indicating the object originated in an early Payables release and has been carried forward as a compatibility and reporting interface. The view presents supplier (vendor) site information in a denormalized, human-readable form by joining the foundational Payables supplier-site storage to multiple descriptive and validation sources.

In Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, AP_VENDOR_SITES_V serves as a read-oriented reporting and integration surface. It exposes site-level attributes — addresses, purchasing and payment flags, terms, distribution sets, and pay-group settings — resolved against lookups, territories, languages, locations, and trading-community descriptions, so that consumers do not have to reconstruct these joins themselves. Because it is a view rather than a table, it reflects the current state of the underlying supplier-site data at query time and must not be treated as a transactional interface.

Underlying Base Objects

The documented base objects reveal the composition of the view. The core supplier-site rows are supplied by PO_VENDOR_SITES_ALL and PO_VENDOR_SITES (views over the supplier-site entity), which the column aliases "PVS" reference in the view text. Address and location codes are resolved through HR_LOCATIONS_ALL (aliased HR_SHIPTO and HR_BILLTO), while territory short names come from FND_TERRITORIES_VL and language descriptions from FND_LANGUAGES_VL.

Descriptive lookup columns are drawn from PO_LOOKUP_CODES and ORG_FREIGHT (ship-via description, aliased OGF). Payment terms names come from AP_TERMS (aliased AT), distribution set names from AP_DISTRIBUTION_SETS_ALL (aliased AD), and pay-group and related displayed fields from lookups such as LC_GROUP, LC_FOB, and LC_TERMS. The view also references AP_AWT_GROUPS, FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMS_ALL, PO_LOCATION_ASSOCIATIONS_ALL, and the packages AP_VENDOR_SITES_PKG, AP_UTILITIES_PKG, and FND_GLOBAL — the latter used for session and language context. The custom formatted address column is produced by AP_VENDOR_SITES_PKG.FORMAT_ADDRESS.

Key Columns

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical uses include supplier-site validation in interfaces, reporting of active pay sites and their terms, and lookups that need the resolved ship-to or bill-to location code. A simple listing of active pay sites for a supplier:

  • SELECT vendor_site_code, city, state, territory_short_name, name, pay_group_lookup_code FROM ap_vendor_sites_v WHERE vendor_id = :p_vendor_id AND inactive_date IS NULL AND pay_site_flag = 'Y';

Resolving a site's default accounts and distribution set:

  • SELECT vendor_site_code, distribution_set_name, accts_pay_code_combination_id, prepay_code_combination_id FROM ap_vendor_sites_v WHERE vendor_site_id = :p_site_id;

Because the view references FND_GLOBAL and language-dependent views, multi-language installations return descriptions in the session language. Queries should filter on VENDOR_ID or VENDOR_SITE_ID, avoid unfiltered full scans, and rely on the view strictly for read access; all maintenance of supplier sites must be performed through the Payables supplier-site APIs and forms.
