Overview

The PA_CANDIDATE_REVIEWS table is a core transactional data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite Projects (PA) module, specifically for releases 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It functions as a historical log or audit trail for the review process of candidate assignments. This table is integral to the resource management and staffing workflows, capturing the sequence of review actions, decisions, and potentially the evaluative feedback applied to candidates considered for project assignments. Its role is to provide a persistent, auditable record of the candidate review lifecycle, supporting compliance, reporting on staffing decisions, and analysis of the assignment process.

Key Information Stored

While the provided metadata does not list individual columns, the primary and foreign key relationships define its critical structure. The table's primary identifier is the CANDIDATE_REVIEW_ID column. The documented foreign key relationship indicates that this table stores one or more review records linked to a single entry in the PA_CANDIDATES table via the CANDIDATE_REVIEW_ID. Typically, such a review log would also contain columns for the review action (e.g., 'Approved', 'Rejected', 'Pending'), the date and time of the review, the identifier of the reviewer (often a USER_ID), and comments or notes associated with the review decision. The table's purpose is to chronicle these discrete review events over time.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed for audit reporting and process analysis. A common use case is generating a report showing the complete review history for a specific candidate or a set of candidates, including who made each decision and when. Another scenario involves analyzing the efficiency of the staffing process by measuring the time between successive review steps. A typical query pattern would join PA_CANDIDATE_REVIEWS to PA_CANDIDATES and potentially to HR employee tables to resolve reviewer IDs.

  • Sample Query Pattern: SELECT cand.candidate_name, rev.review_date, rev.review_action, rev.review_comments FROM pa_candidates cand, pa_candidate_reviews rev WHERE cand.candidate_review_id = rev.candidate_review_id ORDER BY rev.review_date;
  • Reporting Use Case: Creating an audit trail report for internal compliance, demonstrating the due diligence performed during the project resource assignment process.

Related Objects

The PA_CANDIDATE_REVIEWS table has a direct and documented dependency on the PA_CANDIDATES table, which is the master source for candidate information. The relationship is established through a foreign key where PA_CANDIDATE_REVIEWS.CANDIDATE_REVIEW_ID references PA_CANDIDATES. This indicates that for every candidate record subject to review, there can be multiple corresponding log entries in the PA_CANDIDATE_REVIEWS table. This is a classic one-to-many relationship from candidate to review events. The table is also likely referenced by various standard and custom reports within the Projects module and may be accessed by APIs supporting the assignment staffing user interface.
