Overview

The PA_RESOURCE_LISTS_ALL_BG table is a core setup and reference table within Oracle E-Business Suite Projects (PA) module. It serves as the master repository for implementation-defined resource lists, which are foundational constructs for financial planning and analysis. These lists define logical groupings of resources—such as employees, jobs, expenditure types, or other resource types—used for budgeting, forecasting, and summarizing project financial amounts. The table supports multi-organization structures, as indicated by the "_ALL_BG" suffix, meaning it stores data across multiple business groups. Its primary role is to provide a centralized, reusable definition of resource groupings that drive financial calculations and reporting consistency across projects.

Key Information Stored

While the specific column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the primary and foreign key relationships reveal the critical data attributes. The table's primary key is RESOURCE_LIST_ID, which uniquely identifies each resource list definition. Key foreign keys include GROUP_RESOURCE_TYPE_ID, linking to PA_RESOURCE_TYPES to define the category of resources in the list (e.g., "Person" or "Job"), and JOB_GROUP_ID, linking to PER_JOB_GROUPS for lists based on job groupings. Other essential columns typically include NAME, DESCRIPTION, and effective date columns (START_DATE_ACTIVE, END_DATE_ACTIVE). The table's structure is designed to support the hierarchical and categorical organization of project resources for financial purposes.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to configuration and reporting scenarios. A primary use case is during project type or financial plan configuration, where a specific resource list is assigned as the default for cost or revenue budgeting. For reporting, analysts query this table to understand the resource basis for budget versions or project summaries. Common SQL patterns include joining to its descriptive translation table (PA_RESOURCE_LISTS_TL) and member table (PA_RESOURCE_LIST_MEMBERS). A typical query to retrieve active resource lists with their type would be:

  • SELECT prl.RESOURCE_LIST_ID, prlt.NAME, prt.RESOURCE_TYPE
    FROM PA_RESOURCE_LISTS_ALL_BG prl,
    PA_RESOURCE_LISTS_TL prlt,
    PA_RESOURCE_TYPES prt
    WHERE prl.RESOURCE_LIST_ID = prlt.RESOURCE_LIST_ID
    AND prl.GROUP_RESOURCE_TYPE_ID = prt.RESOURCE_TYPE_ID
    AND SYSDATE BETWEEN prl.START_DATE_ACTIVE AND NVL(prl.END_DATE_ACTIVE, SYSDATE+1);
