Overview

The table OKL_CNSLD_AR_HDRS_ALL_B is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) module OKL (Leasing and Finance Management). Its primary function is to represent a consolidated invoice, which is a single printed report or "bill" that aggregates multiple actual Accounts Receivable (AR) invoices. This consolidation mechanism is critical for streamlining billing processes in leasing operations, where a customer may receive numerous individual invoices for different lease lines or assets within a specific period. The table serves as the master header record for these consolidated billing documents, enabling efficient printing, distribution, and tracking of customer statements.

Key Information Stored

The table stores metadata and control information for each consolidated invoice entity. The primary identifier for a record is the ID column, which forms the primary key (OKL_CNSLD_AR_HDRS_ALL_B_PK). A critical business identifier is the CONSOLIDATED_INVOICE_NUMBER, which is enforced as a unique key (OKL_CNSLD_AR_HDRS_ALL_B_UK1) and represents the human-readable reference number for the bill. Another significant column is INF_ID (Invoice Format ID), which is a foreign key linking to the OKL_INV_FORMATS_ALL_B table. This relationship dictates the formatting and template rules applied when generating the printed consolidated report.

Common Use Cases and Queries

A primary use case is generating a customer statement that summarizes all leasing-related AR activity for a period. Administrators may query this table to list all consolidated bills created within a date range or for a specific customer. A typical reporting query would join this header table to its associated invoice lines (likely in a detail table such as OKL_CNSLD_AR_LINES_ALL_B, though not specified in the metadata) and to customer data. For troubleshooting, one might query for a specific consolidated invoice number to verify its existence and format before re-printing. Sample SQL to retrieve basic consolidated bill information would be:

  • SELECT consolidated_invoice_number, id, inf_id, creation_date FROM okl_cnsld_ar_hdrs_all_b WHERE creation_date > SYSDATE - 30;

This table is also integral to the automated billing consolidation and print processes within the OKL module.

Related Objects

The most directly related object, as defined by its foreign key constraint, is the OKL_INV_FORMATS_ALL_B table. This relationship ensures each consolidated bill adheres to a predefined invoice format. While not explicitly listed in the provided metadata, this header table (OKL_CNSLD_AR_HDRS_ALL_B) is logically the parent to detail lines, which would be stored in a separate table such as OKL_CNSLD_AR_LINES_ALL_B, containing the individual AR invoices that make up the consolidated bill. It is also central to any OKL reporting views or public APIs responsible for consolidated billing functions.
