Overview

The IGW_PROP_PERSON_QUESTIONS table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite Grants Proposal (IGW) module. It functions as a repository for capturing and storing answers to specific questions pertaining to individuals associated with a grant proposal. This table is essential for managing compliance, eligibility, and other qualitative assessments of personnel involved in the proposal lifecycle. By linking individuals (PARTY_ID) to specific proposals (PROPOSAL_ID) and their corresponding questionnaire responses (QUESTION_NUMBER), it enables a structured audit trail of personnel-related due diligence, which is a critical requirement in grant management and sponsored research administration.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is defined by its composite primary key, which uniquely identifies a single answer record. The key columns are PROPOSAL_ID, which links to the specific grant proposal; PARTY_ID, which identifies the individual person (typically from the TCA - Trading Community Architecture registry); and QUESTION_NUMBER, which references the specific question being answered. While the provided metadata does not list all data columns, the table logically stores the answer provided for the given question. This answer is likely stored in a column such as ANSWER or RESPONSE, and may be accompanied by audit columns like CREATION_DATE and LAST_UPDATE_DATE, which are standard in EBS tables. The primary purpose is to maintain a definitive record of all personnel-related questionnaire responses for a proposal.

Common Use Cases and Queries

A primary use case is generating reports to verify that all required personnel disclosures for a proposal have been completed and to review the submitted answers. For instance, an administrator may need to list all questions and answers for a specific individual on a proposal. A common query pattern involves joining to the IGW_QUESTIONS table to get the question text. Sample SQL to retrieve this data would be:

  • SELECT ppq.PROPOSAL_ID, ppq.PARTY_ID, ppq.QUESTION_NUMBER, q.QUESTION_TEXT, ppq.ANSWER FROM IGW_PROP_PERSON_QUESTIONS ppq JOIN IGW_QUESTIONS q ON ppq.QUESTION_NUMBER = q.QUESTION_NUMBER WHERE ppq.PROPOSAL_ID = :p_prop_id;

Another critical use case is during the proposal submission or approval process, where workflows or validation logic may check the completeness of these personnel questionnaires before allowing the proposal to progress to the next stage.

Related Objects

The table maintains a direct foreign key relationship with the IGW_QUESTIONS table, which defines the master list of available questions. The join is performed on the QUESTION_NUMBER column (IGW_PROP_PERSON_QUESTIONS.QUESTION_NUMBER references IGW_QUESTIONS.QUESTION_NUMBER). This relationship ensures referential integrity, meaning a recorded answer must correspond to a valid, predefined question. While not explicitly listed in the provided metadata, the PROPOSAL_ID column is almost certainly a foreign key to a proposal header table such as IGW_PROPOSALS_ALL, and PARTY_ID is a foreign key to the TCA party registry (HZ_PARTIES). These relationships anchor the personnel answers to the correct business entities within the broader EBS architecture.
