Overview

The table AS_DEFAULT_PURCHASES_ALL is a data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Sales Foundation module (AS). As per the official ETRM documentation, its status is explicitly noted as "Currently not in use." This indicates that while the table exists in the OSM schema for versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, it is not actively populated or leveraged by standard application functionality. Its intended purpose, based on its name and relationship to the AS_INTEREST_TYPES_ALL table, was likely to store default purchasing information or preferences associated with customer interest types, potentially for sales or marketing automation. However, its inactive status means it plays no operational role in the current system implementation.

Key Information Stored

Given the documented status, the specific columns within AS_DEFAULT_PURCHASES_ALL are not detailed in the provided metadata. However, the existence of a foreign key relationship confirms the presence of at least one significant column: INTEREST_TYPE_ID. This column serves as the link to the AS_INTEREST_TYPES_ALL table, which typically stores classifications for different types of customer interests or product affinities. The table's name suggests it may have been designed to hold additional columns for defining default purchase quantities, product categories, or other related attributes tied to an interest type, but these are not specified in the available documentation.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Since the table is documented as not in use, there are no standard application use cases, business processes, or reporting requirements that interact with it. Any queries against this table in a vanilla EBS instance would return no data. In highly customized environments, it is possible the table has been repurposed, but this would be an exception rather than the norm. A technical consultant might query it only for diagnostic or data cleanup purposes, using a basic SQL pattern to check for any existing records:

  • SELECT COUNT(*) FROM osm.as_default_purchases_all;
  • SELECT * FROM osm.as_default_purchases_all WHERE interest_type_id = <value>;

Any such investigation should be approached with caution, understanding its official inactive status.

Related Objects

The primary documented relationship for AS_DEFAULT_PURCHASES_ALL is a foreign key constraint referencing the AS_INTEREST_TYPES_ALL table. This is a one-way dependency where AS_DEFAULT_PURCHASES_ALL.INTEREST_TYPE_ID is a foreign key to AS_INTEREST_TYPES_ALL. This relationship implies that if the table were active, each record would be associated with a valid interest type. No other foreign keys, primary keys, or dependent views are indicated in the provided metadata, reinforcing the table's limited and inactive role within the application data model.
