The IGS_CA_STAT table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 is a critical data structure within the Oracle Grants Accounting (IGS) module. This table stores statistical information related to commitments, obligations, and expenditures for grant and contract management. Below is a detailed technical and functional breakdown of its purpose, structure, and usage in Oracle EBS.

1. Functional Overview

The IGS_CA_STAT table serves as a repository for cumulative financial statistics tied to grant or contract awards. It captures summarized data such as:
  • Encumbrance balances (commitments and obligations)
  • Expenditure amounts (actual costs incurred)
  • Budgetary controls and available balances
  • Historical trends for reporting and analysis
This table supports compliance with funding agency requirements by providing auditable tracking of financial performance against awarded amounts.

2. Technical Structure

Key columns in IGS_CA_STAT include:
  • CA_ID: Primary key reference to the grant/contract in IGS_CA_ALL.
  • STAT_TYPE: Distinguishes between statistical categories (e.g., 'BUDGET', 'EXPENDITURE').
  • PERIOD_NAME: GL period for which statistics are recorded.
  • AMOUNT: Monetary value of the statistic.
  • CURRENCY_CODE: Currency of the recorded amount.
  • LAST_UPDATE_DATE: Timestamp for data maintenance.
The table typically joins with IGS_CA_ALL (award master) and GL_PERIODS for reporting.

3. Integration Points

IGS_CA_STAT interacts with multiple EBS modules:
  • General Ledger (GL): Period-end balances are reconciled with GL accounts.
  • Payables (AP): Expenditure data sourced from invoice distributions.
  • Purchasing (PO): Commitment data derived from purchase requisitions/orders.
  • Grants Accounting (IGS): Core module feeding award-specific calculations.

4. Data Flow

Statistics are populated through:
  • Real-time updates from transactional systems (e.g., PO creation).
  • Batch processes during period close (e.g., IGS: Update Award Statistics).
  • Manual adjustments via IGS forms.

5. Reporting and Analytics

The table enables:
  • Standard IGS reports like Award Financial Summary.
  • Custom queries for funding agency compliance.
  • Drill-down capabilities to transactional details.

6. Key Considerations

  • Performance: Large award portfolios may require indexing on CA_ID and PERIOD_NAME.
  • Audit: Data integrity is critical for financial audits; implement validation workflows.
  • Upgrades: Schema changes are rare but verify compatibility during EBS upgrades.

7. Customization Guidance

Extensions should:
  • Use descriptive custom column names prefixed with XX_.
  • Leverage Oracle's public APIs for data modifications.
  • Avoid direct SQL updates to prevent corruption.

Conclusion

The IGS_CA_STAT table is a cornerstone of financial tracking in Oracle Grants Accounting, ensuring accurate award management. Proper understanding of its structure and integration points is essential for implementations, custom reporting, and system maintenance in EBS 12.1.1/12.2.2 environments.
