Overview

The OKE_K_FUND_ALLOCATIONS table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Project Contracts (OKE) module. It serves as the central repository for storing contract funding allocation records. In the context of project-based contracts, this table is critical for managing how funding from various sources is formally assigned and distributed to specific contract lines, projects, and tasks. Its role is to establish the financial linkage between a contract's funding commitments and the detailed project work breakdown structure, enabling precise tracking, billing, and revenue recognition against allocated funds.

Key Information Stored

While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the primary and foreign key relationships define its essential structure. The table's unique identifier is the FUND_ALLOCATION_ID. Each record associates a specific FUNDING_SOURCE_ID from the OKE_K_FUNDING_SOURCES table with a specific contract line (K_LINE_ID from OKE_K_LINES). Crucially, it ties this funding to the project accounting structure via PROJECT_ID (linked to PA_PROJECTS_ALL) and TASK_ID (linked to PA_TASKS). The inclusion of PA_CONVERSION_TYPE, linked to GL_DAILY_CONVERSION_TYPES, indicates the table supports multi-currency transactions by storing the conversion rate type used for the allocation. Other typical columns in such a table would include allocation amounts, statuses, dates, and versioning information.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to financial reporting and inquiry within Project Contracts. Common use cases include generating reports to show total funding allocated to a specific project or contract line, reconciling funding sources against expenditures, and auditing fund utilization. A typical query might join this table to funding sources, contract lines, and project details to analyze allocation status. For example, to find all funding allocations for a specific project, one might use a SQL pattern such as: SELECT f.funding_source_number, l.line_number, fa.allocated_amount FROM oke_k_fund_allocations fa, oke_k_funding_sources f, oke_k_lines l WHERE fa.funding_source_id = f.funding_source_id AND fa.k_line_id = l.k_line_id AND fa.project_id = :p_project_id. The table also supports the creation of funding allocation history, as evidenced by its relationship with the OKE_K_FUND_ALLOCATIONS_H table.

Related Objects

The OKE_K_FUND_ALLOCATIONS table is a nexus within the Project Contracts schema, with documented foreign key relationships to several key tables:

  • OKE_K_FUNDING_SOURCES: Via FUNDING_SOURCE_ID. This links the allocation to its originating funding source or commitment.
  • OKE_K_LINES: Via K_LINE_ID. This links the allocation to the specific contract deliverable or line item.
  • PA_PROJECTS_ALL: Via PROJECT_ID. This integrates the contract funding with the Project Accounting (PA) module's project definition.
  • PA_TASKS: Via TASK_ID. This further breaks down the allocation to a specific task within the project work breakdown structure.
  • GL_DAILY_CONVERSION_TYPES: Via PA_CONVERSION_TYPE. This ensures currency conversion integrity for the allocated amounts.
  • OKE_K_FUND_ALLOCATIONS_H: Via FUND_ALLOCATION_ID. This history table tracks changes to the allocation records over time.
