Overview

The AS_INTEREST_STATUSES table is a core reference data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite Sales Foundation (AS) module. It functions as a master repository for defining the distinct statuses that can be assigned to a sales interest or opportunity throughout its lifecycle. As a foundational table, it provides the standardized, validated list of status codes (e.g., 'NEW', 'QUALIFIED', 'LOST', 'WON') that are available for selection within the application's sales processes. Its primary role is to enforce data integrity and consistency by ensuring that all interest statuses used across the system are predefined and centrally managed. The table is owned by the OSM schema, indicating its integration with Oracle Sales Online or related sales management components.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to manage status definitions within the context of specific interest types. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the documented primary and foreign key relationships reveal its critical components. The composite primary key consists of INTEREST_TYPE_ID and INTEREST_STATUS_CODE. This design mandates that a status code is uniquely defined per interest type, allowing for different status workflows for different categories of sales interests. The INTEREST_STATUS_CODE column stores the short, internal code for the status, which is typically referenced by application logic and integrations. Additional columns, common in such reference tables, would likely include fields for a user-facing name (e.g., DISPLAY_NAME or MEANING), a description, an enabled flag, and a sequence number for ordering.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to configuring the sales pipeline and reporting on opportunity health. Administrators use it to set up or modify the stages in a sales process. Common operational queries involve retrieving the valid statuses for a given interest type to populate list of values (LOVs) in application forms. For reporting, analysts frequently join this table to transactional data (like AS_INTERESTS_ALL) to translate internal status codes into meaningful descriptions for pipeline dashboards and win/loss analysis reports.

  • Retrieving all active statuses for an interest type: SELECT interest_status_code FROM as_interest_statuses WHERE interest_type_id = :p_type_id AND enabled_flag = 'Y' ORDER BY sequence_number;
  • Joining to transactional data for a report: SELECT i.interest_number, s.meaning status_name FROM as_interests_all i, as_interest_statuses s WHERE i.interest_type_id = s.interest_type_id AND i.interest_status_code = s.interest_status_code;

Related Objects

The AS_INTEREST_STATUSES table maintains strict referential integrity with key type definition tables in the Sales Foundation module, as evidenced by its foreign key constraints. It is a child table to the interest type masters.

  • AS_INTEREST_TYPES_ALL: This is the primary transactional table for interest types. The foreign key on AS_INTEREST_STATUSES.INTEREST_TYPE_ID references this table, ensuring every status is linked to a valid, installed interest type.
  • AS_INTEREST_TYPES_B: This is the base (seed data) table for interest types. The foreign key relationship on the same INTEREST_TYPE_ID column ties status definitions to the fundamental type definitions from which transactional types are derived.

Conversely, transactional tables such as AS_INTERESTS_ALL would hold a foreign key referencing the composite primary key of AS_INTEREST_STATUSES (INTEREST_TYPE_ID, INTEREST_STATUS_CODE) to assign a status to each sales opportunity.
