Overview

The AS_INTEREST_TYPES_ALL table is a core data definition table within the Oracle E-Business Suite Sales Foundation module (AS). It serves as the master repository for defining different categories or classifications of customer interest, which are fundamental to managing sales leads, opportunities, and marketing campaigns. Its primary role is to provide a standardized, organization-specific list of interest types that can be associated with various sales objects. The inclusion of the "_ALL" suffix and the ORG_ID column signifies its design as a multi-organization table, meaning it can store data partitioned by operating unit, a critical feature for deployments with multiple legal entities or business divisions within a single EBS instance.

Key Information Stored

While the provided metadata does not list all columns, the structure is defined by its primary key and foreign key relationships. The two-column primary key, consisting of INTEREST_TYPE_ID and ORG_ID, is the most critical element. The INTEREST_TYPE_ID uniquely identifies an interest type definition (e.g., "Product Inquiry," "Service Request," "Web Download"), while the ORG_ID scopes that definition to a specific operating unit. Other columns, inferred from its purpose and related tables, would typically include descriptive fields such as NAME, DESCRIPTION, ENABLED_FLAG, START_DATE_ACTIVE, and END_DATE_ACTIVE to control the lifecycle and usage of each interest type within the application.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily referenced for validation, reporting, and data setup. Administrators use it to configure the list of available interest types during implementation. Common operational queries involve joining this table to transactional data to generate meaningful reports. For instance, to list all active interest types for a specific operating unit (e.g., ORG_ID = 204), a query would be: SELECT interest_type_id, name FROM as_interest_types_all WHERE org_id = 204 AND enabled_flag = 'Y' AND SYSDATE BETWEEN start_date_active AND NVL(end_date_active, SYSDATE);. For analytical reporting, a typical join to retrieve lead information with interest type descriptions would involve: SELECT l.lead_number, it.name interest_type FROM as_lead_lines_all l, as_interest_types_all it WHERE l.interest_type_id = it.interest_type_id AND l.org_id = it.org_id;.

Related Objects

As documented in the foreign key metadata, AS_INTEREST_TYPES_ALL is a central reference table for several key transactional and setup tables in the Sales Foundation module. The relationships are as follows:

These relationships underscore the table's integral role in ensuring data integrity across the sales interest management framework.
