Overview

The table IGF_AW_LI_COA_INTS is an interface table within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Financial Aid module (IGF), which is designated as obsolete. Its primary role is to serve as a staging area for loading Cost of Attendance (COA) item data from external systems into the core EBS tables. The COA represents the total estimated cost for a student to attend an institution for a specific period, encompassing tuition, fees, room, board, books, and other expenses. As an interface table, it facilitates batch data integration, allowing for data validation and transformation before the information is processed into the permanent transactional tables. The provided metadata explicitly notes that this table is "Not implemented in this database," indicating it may be a standard EBS object that requires custom implementation or is unused in specific deployments.

Key Information Stored

Based on the ETRM documentation, the table's structure is designed to hold interface records for COA components. The primary key column is COAINT_ID, which uniquely identifies each interface record. A critical foreign key relationship exists via the BATCH_NUM column, which links to the IGF_AP_LI_BAT_INTS table. This relationship associates groups of COA item records with a specific batch interface job, enabling controlled processing and error tracking. While the full column list is not detailed, typical data stored would include identifiers for the student, award year, academic period, COA item type (e.g., tuition, personal expenses), and the associated monetary amount, all in a raw or pre-validated state.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The principal use case involves the batch import of Cost of Attendance data, often from third-party systems or legacy platforms. A data load program would populate this table, after which a concurrent process validates the records and transfers them to the base tables. Common queries would focus on monitoring the interface process. For instance, to identify records pending processing or those that failed validation, one might query records by BATCH_NUM. A sample reporting query might join with the batch interface table to assess the status of a load:

• SELECT coa.batch_num, bat.status, COUNT(*)
• FROM igf_aw_li_coa_ints coa, igf_ap_li_bat_ints bat
• WHERE coa.batch_num = bat.batch_num
• GROUP BY coa.batch_num, bat.status;

Given the module's obsolete status and the table's "not implemented" note, active development or reporting directly from this table is unlikely in standard EBS environments.

Related Objects

The table has defined dependencies within the Financial Aid interface architecture. Its primary relationship is with the IGF_AP_LI_BAT_INTS table via the BATCH_NUM foreign key, which provides batch control metadata. While not listed in the provided excerpt, it would logically feed data into core transactional tables such as IGF_AW_COA_ITM (Cost of Attendance Items) or related entities. The table's existence is also governed by the primary key constraint IGF_AW_LI_COA_INTS_PK. Any custom programs or APIs designed for financial aid data loading would be the primary objects interacting with this interface table.
