Overview

The table IGF_AW_REPKG_PRTY is a configuration table within the Oracle E-Business Suite Financial Aid module (IGF). Its primary function is to establish the priority order in which funds are considered during the automated re-packaging process at the system level. Re-packaging is a core financial aid operation where the system re-evaluates and adjusts a student's aid package, often in response to changes in eligibility, cost of attendance, or the availability of funds. By defining a global sequence of fund types or specific funds, this table ensures that re-packaging logic is applied consistently and predictably across the institution, prioritizing certain aid sources (e.g., grants over loans) according to established business rules.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is focused on defining a prioritized list. Based on the provided metadata, the primary and likely most significant column is FUND_ORDER_NUM. This column stores a numeric value that dictates the sequence for fund evaluation during re-package calculations. A lower number typically indicates a higher priority. While the specific column linking to the fund definition (such as a FUND_CODE or FUND_ID) is not explicitly listed in the excerpt, it is a logical necessity for the table's purpose. Therefore, the table is expected to contain at least one foreign key column to reference the fund master table (e.g., IGF_AW_FUND_MST), pairing each fund with its assigned priority number.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to the financial aid office's strategy for awarding aid. A common administrative use case is querying or updating the priority list to reflect changes in institutional policy, such as promoting state scholarship priority over institutional grants. For reporting and troubleshooting, analysts may run queries to audit the current re-package hierarchy or to identify funds that are not included in the priority list. A typical SQL pattern would join this table to the fund master to produce a readable report.

• Sample Query: SELECT f.fund_code, p.fund_order_num FROM igf_aw_fund_mst f, igf_aw_repkg_prty p WHERE f.fund_id = p.fund_id ORDER BY p.fund_order_num;
• Configuration: The data in this table is typically maintained through the Oracle EBS forms-based interface for Financial Aid system setup, not via direct SQL updates, to maintain data integrity.

Related Objects

The table's primary relationship is defined by its primary key constraint, IGF_AW_REPKG_PRTY_PK, on the FUND_ORDER_NUM column. This indicates that the order number itself is the unique identifier for a priority rule within the system. The most critical undocumented relationship, inferred from its function, is a foreign key to the core fund definition table, almost certainly IGF_AW_FUND_MST or a similar fund catalog. This link associates the priority sequence with specific fund codes. Furthermore, this table is a key reference for the main re-packaging engine and logic housed within packages like IGF_AW_PACKAGING or IGF_AW_REPACKAGE, which read the priority order to execute the award sequencing.
