Overview

The table OKL_REMARKTNG_COSTS_B is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) module OKL (Leasing and Finance Management). It serves as the primary transactional repository for recording all costs incurred during the asset remarketing lifecycle. This process encompasses activities from the initial return of a leased asset through its inspection, reconditioning, and eventual repurchase or resale. The table's role is to provide a detailed, auditable trail of financial expenditures associated with transforming a returned asset into a market-ready state, which is critical for accurate cost recovery, profitability analysis on lease contracts, and financial reporting.

Key Information Stored

While the specific column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the table's structure is defined by its primary and foreign keys, which indicate the core data relationships. The primary key column, ID, uniquely identifies each remarketing cost transaction. A critical foreign key column is ART_ID, which links each cost entry to its originating asset return transaction in the OKL_ASSET_RETORNS_B table. Typically, such a table would also store cost amounts, cost types (e.g., cleaning, repair, transportation), currency, date incurred, and descriptive information. The data collectively documents the financial impact of the remarketing workflow.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to operational and financial reporting within the remarketing domain. Common use cases include calculating the total cost to remarket a specific asset for billing or internal chargebacks, analyzing remarketing cost trends by asset type or lessee, and reconciling actual costs against budgeted estimates. A fundamental query would join OKL_REMARKTNG_COSTS_B to OKL_ASSET_RETURNS_B to aggregate costs per return. For example:

• SELECT art.return_number, SUM(rc.cost_amount) AS total_remarketing_cost FROM okl_remarktng_costs_b rc, okl_asset_returns_b art WHERE rc.art_id = art.id GROUP BY art.return_number;

This data feeds into reports on remarketing efficiency and is essential for determining the net recovery value of a leased asset at contract termination.

Related Objects

The table has a documented, direct foreign key relationship with the asset returns table, forming the backbone of the remarketing cost tracking model.

• OKL_ASSET_RETURNS_B: This is the primary parent table. The foreign key OKL_REMARKTNG_COSTS_B.ART_ID references the primary key of OKL_ASSET_RETURNS_B. This relationship ensures every cost is associated with a valid asset return record.
• OKL_REMARKTNG_COSTS_B_PK: The primary key constraint on the ID column, guaranteeing the uniqueness of each row.

In a full implementation, this table would also be referenced by various OKL transactional interfaces, financial integration programs, and likely have corresponding TL (translation) and _V (view) objects for data presentation layers.
