Overview

The PV_PG_INVITE_HEADERS_B table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite Partner Management (PV) module, specifically for versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It functions as the primary container for storing metadata and control information for invitations sent to partner organizations. These invitations are central to the partner enrollment workflow, enabling the solicitation of partners to join specific partner programs. The table's role is to maintain the master record of each invitation, tracking its purpose, status, and relationship to the target program and partner, thereby serving as a critical junction point between partner entities, programs, and the associated transactional processes.

Key Information Stored

While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the primary and foreign key relationships define its essential structure. The table's primary identifier is the INVITE_HEADER_ID, a unique system-generated key for each invitation. Two critical foreign key columns establish core business relationships: INVITE_FOR_PROGRAM_ID links the invitation to a specific program defined in PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_B, and QP_LIST_HEADER_ID creates a direct relationship with an offer (list) in the AMS_OFFERS table from the Trade Management module. This link is significant as it indicates the invitation mechanism is integrated with Oracle's advanced quoting and marketing offer engine. Other likely columns would include creation dates, invitation status, effective dates, and the identifier for the invited partner party.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Primary use cases revolve around managing the partner recruitment lifecycle and generating related reports. Administrators use this data to track the status of sent invitations, analyze enrollment response rates by program, and audit invitation history. A common reporting query would join the invitation header to the program and partner tables to list all pending invitations. For technical integrations, the key link to AMS_OFFERS is crucial for processes where a marketing campaign offer triggers a partner enrollment invitation. A sample SQL pattern to find invitations for a specific program would be:

• SELECT ih.INVITE_HEADER_ID, pp.PROGRAM_NAME, ih.CREATION_DATE FROM PV.PV_PG_INVITE_HEADERS_B ih, PV.PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_B pp WHERE ih.INVITE_FOR_PROGRAM_ID = pp.PARTNER_PROGRAM_ID AND pp.PROGRAM_NAME = '<Program_Name>';

Related Objects

The table is central to a network of related objects, primarily defined by its foreign key constraints. It references two key master tables: PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_B via INVITE_FOR_PROGRAM_ID, and AMS_OFFERS (from the Trade Management module) via QP_LIST_HEADER_ID. It is referenced by several transactional and supporting tables: PV_PG_ENRL_REQUESTS uses INVITE_HEADER_ID to link an enrollment application back to its originating invitation. The translation table PV_PG_INVITE_HEADERS_TL holds multilingual descriptions for the invitation, keyed by INVITE_HEADER_ID. Furthermore, PV_GE_PARTY_NOTIFICATIONS references this table's primary key via its NOTIF_FOR_ENTITY_ID column, linking notification records to specific invitation events.
