Overview

The PSP_EFFORT_ERRORS table is a core technical table within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Labor Distribution module (PSP). Its primary function is to serve as a staging and logging repository for errors and warnings generated during the processing of effort reporting. Specifically, it contains the data that populates the Effort Reporting Warning Report, a critical control document that identifies data inconsistencies, validation failures, or missing information before effort data is finalized and posted for costing and accounting. The table's existence ensures data integrity by providing a structured audit trail of processing issues that require review and resolution by users or administrators.

Key Information Stored

While the provided ETRM metadata does not list specific columns, based on its documented purpose and relationship, the table typically stores error records keyed to specific effort reporting cycles and templates. Essential columns would include a unique identifier, a foreign key to the effort report template (TEMPLATE_ID), and identifiers for the source transaction or employee record that caused the error. It also stores descriptive fields for the error message, severity (warning vs. error), the specific validation rule or check that failed, and timestamps. The data is transient, often purged or archived after warnings are addressed and processing is complete.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case is generating and reviewing the Effort Warning Report via the standard EBS Labor Distribution responsibility. Administrators run this report to diagnose why an effort batch failed or to review outstanding issues before proceeding. Common SQL queries against this table focus on identifying unresolved errors for a specific reporting period or template. A typical pattern would be:

  • Listing all active errors for a given template: SELECT error_message, source_identifier FROM psp_effort_errors WHERE template_id = :template_id AND status = 'UNRESOLVED';
  • Summarizing error counts by type for an effort reporting batch.
  • Purging resolved error records after successful processing to maintain performance.

Related Objects

The PSP_EFFORT_ERRORS table has a direct, documented foreign key relationship within the PSP schema, as confirmed by the ETRM metadata.

  • PSP_EFFORT_REPORT_TEMPLATES: This is the primary parent table. Each record in PSP_EFFORT_ERRORS references a specific effort reporting template via the TEMPLATE_ID column. This relationship ensures that all logged errors are contextualized within the rules and structure of a particular reporting setup.

While not explicitly listed in the provided excerpt, this table is also fundamentally linked to core effort reporting tables such as PSP_EFFORT_REPORTS and PSP_ENC_DISTRIBUTIONS, as the errors originate from the validation of data within those transactional entities.
