The IGF_AW_LI_AGR_INTS table is a critical component within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically in the context of the Integrated Global Financials (IGF) module, which manages financial aid and grants. This table is primarily associated with the Award Letter Generation process, where it stores interim award letter agreements and their corresponding interest details for financial aid disbursements. Below is a detailed breakdown of its structure, functionality, and relevance in Oracle EBS.

Table Overview

The IGF_AW_LI_AGR_INTS table serves as a repository for interim award agreements linked to interest calculations. It is part of the broader financial aid ecosystem in Oracle EBS, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and institutional policies. The table captures data related to loan agreements, interest rates, and disbursement schedules, which are essential for generating accurate award letters and maintaining audit trails.

Key Columns and Their Significance

The table comprises several columns, each serving a distinct purpose:
  • AGR_INT_ID: A unique identifier for each interim agreement interest record, ensuring data integrity and traceability.
  • AWARD_ID: Links the record to a specific financial aid award, connecting it to the broader award lifecycle.
  • INTEREST_RATE: Stores the applicable interest rate for the loan or financial aid agreement, critical for calculating repayment amounts.
  • EFFECTIVE_DATE: Indicates when the interest rate becomes active, ensuring accurate temporal calculations.
  • STATUS: Tracks the current state of the agreement (e.g., active, expired, or pending), facilitating workflow management.
  • CREATED_BY and LAST_UPDATED_BY: Audit columns capturing user details for compliance and troubleshooting.

Functional Role in Oracle EBS

The IGF_AW_LI_AGR_INTS table supports the following processes:
  1. Award Letter Generation: Interim agreements stored in this table are used to populate award letters with accurate interest terms, ensuring transparency for beneficiaries.
  2. Interest Calculation: The table's data feeds into financial aid calculations, enabling precise determination of repayment obligations.
  3. Regulatory Compliance: By maintaining a historical record of interest rates and agreement terms, the table helps institutions adhere to federal and institutional policies.
  4. Disbursement Scheduling: The table's effective date and status fields aid in automating disbursement workflows, reducing manual intervention.

Integration with Other Modules

The table interacts with several Oracle EBS modules, including:
  • IGF_AW_AWARD: Links award details to interim agreements.
  • IGF_GR_LI_AGR_INTS: Shares data with grant-related interest tables for consolidated reporting.
  • General Ledger (GL): Interest calculations may impact financial postings, requiring synchronization with GL.

Technical Considerations

In Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, the table is subject to standard security and performance optimizations:
  • Indexing: Key columns like AGR_INT_ID and AWARD_ID are indexed to enhance query performance.
  • Audit Trails: Triggers or Oracle Audit Vault may monitor changes for compliance.
  • Partitioning: In high-volume environments, partitioning by date or status improves manageability.

Conclusion

The IGF_AW_LI_AGR_INTS table is a pivotal element in Oracle EBS's financial aid management, ensuring accurate interest tracking and award letter generation. Its integration with other modules and adherence to regulatory standards make it indispensable for institutions leveraging Oracle EBS 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 for financial aid administration.
