Overview

The AS_STATUSES_TL table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Sales Foundation module (AS). It functions as a translation table, specifically designed to support the Multi-Language Support (MLS) architecture. Its primary role is to store the translated, user-facing textual descriptions for status codes defined in its base table, AS_STATUSES_B. This separation of base transactional data (in the _B table) from translatable descriptive data (in the _TL table) is a standard EBS design pattern, enabling a single installation to support multiple languages for descriptive fields like names and meanings.

Key Information Stored

The table holds language-specific translations for status metadata. Its structure is defined by a composite primary key that uniquely identifies each translation row. Based on the provided metadata, the critical columns include:

• STATUS_CODE: The foreign key column linking directly to the corresponding record in the base table AS_STATUSES_B. This is the immutable code for the status.
• LANGUAGE: A column storing the language code (e.g., 'US' for American English, 'F' for French) for the translation. It is part of both the primary key (AS_STATUSES_TL_PK) and a unique key (AS_STATUSES_TL_UK).
• MEANING: The translated, descriptive text of the status intended for display in the application's user interface. This column is also part of the AS_STATUSES_TL_UK unique key constraint, ensuring a unique combination of LANGUAGE and MEANING per status.
• Additional standard translation table columns such as SOURCE_LANG, CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, and LAST_UPDATE_DATE are also typically present to track data origin and audit history.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case is retrieving a status description in a user's session language for display in forms, reports, and self-service pages. A common SQL pattern joins the base and translation tables, filtering by the session's language setting. For example, to fetch all active statuses for a specific module in the current session language:

SELECT b.STATUS_CODE, tl.MEANING, b.ENABLED_FLAG
FROM AS_STATUSES_B b, AS_STATUSES_TL tl
WHERE b.STATUS_CODE = tl.STATUS_CODE
AND tl.LANGUAGE = USERENV('LANG')
AND b.ENABLED_FLAG = 'Y';

Another critical use case is during implementation or upgrade, where administrators seed or update translated values for new languages using standard EBS translation utilities, which interact directly with this table.

Related Objects

AS_STATUSES_TL has a direct and mandatory relationship with its base table. The key related objects are:

• AS_STATUSES_B: The base table that defines the status codes, control flags (like ENABLED_FLAG), and non-translatable attributes. The foreign key AS_STATUSES_TL.STATUS_CODE references this table.
• FND_LANGUAGES: The table that contains the valid language codes installed in the system, which constrain the values in the LANGUAGE column.
• Various Application Forms and Views: User interface components within the Sales Foundation module will implicitly reference this table via the base table to display translated meanings. Public APIs for the AS_STATUSES entity would also handle logic for returning the correct translation based on context.
