Overview

The IGF_SL_LI_DLOR_INTS table is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Financial Aid module (IGF). As a legacy Direct Loans Origination Interface Table, its primary role is to serve as a staging or interface point for data related to the origination of U.S. federal Direct Loan programs. This table facilitates the processing and integration of loan origination data, likely acting as an intermediary between external loan origination systems and the core EBS Financial Aid processing logic. Its designation as "legacy" indicates it supports established integration patterns, crucial for maintaining data integrity and workflow continuity during the award lifecycle.

Key Information Stored

The table stores key identifiers necessary for uniquely tracking and processing loan origination records. Based on the provided metadata, the primary key constraint (IGF_SL_LI_DLOR_INTS_PK) is defined on three critical columns, establishing the unique identity for each record. These columns are:

  • CI_ALTERNATE_CODE: Typically represents an identifier for the institution or configuration, ensuring data segregation in multi-entity setups.
  • PERSON_NUMBER: Uniquely identifies the student or applicant within the system, linking the loan data to the individual's demographic and academic records.
  • AWARD_NUMBER_TXT: A text field storing the identifier for the specific financial aid award. This is the field explicitly referenced in the user's search, confirming its central role in querying and reporting on individual loan awards within this interface context.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed for data validation, troubleshooting interface processes, and generating legacy loan origination reports. Common operational scenarios include verifying that loan records from an external source have been successfully staged, reconciling data before processing, and auditing historical origination data. A typical query pattern would involve selecting records for a specific award or student to examine the interface data. For example:

SELECT * FROM igf.igf_sl_li_dlor_ints WHERE award_number_txt = '&Award_Number' AND person_number = '&Student_ID';

Another common use case is identifying all interface records pending further processing or those associated with a specific institution code (CI_ALTERNATE_CODE). Reporting often focuses on aggregating counts of loan originations by term or student type based on the data staged in this table.

Related Objects

The documented primary key (IGF_SL_LI_DLOR_INTS_PK) on the columns CI_ALTERNATE_CODE, PERSON_NUMBER, and AWARD_NUMBER_TXT implies these fields are foreign keys in other dependent tables or are referenced by views and APIs within the IGF module. While specific foreign key relationships are not detailed in the provided metadata, this table is logically related to core Financial Aid base tables such as IGF_AW_AWARD (which likely holds the master award record referenced by AWARD_NUMBER_TXT) and person tables like IGF_AP_FA_BASE. It is also intrinsically linked to the suite of Direct Loan origination and disbursement processes, potentially feeding data into or receiving data from packages responsible for the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) interface.
