Overview

BEN_EXT_RSLT_ERR is a table in the BEN schema of Oracle Advanced Benefits (Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2). It stores errors encountered during an extract. When a Benefits extract process runs, each result is captured in a parent extract result record, and any errors produced by that run — typically encountered while validating, formatting, or writing benefit enrollment data destined for a third-party provider, carrier, or payroll interface — are recorded in this child table. The table therefore functions as an operational error log associated with a specific extract result, providing administrators with the diagnostic detail needed to correct data and rerun the extract.

From a Data Vault modeling perspective, the heuristic classification derived from the foreign key structure is satellite-leaning. This suggests the table is best understood as a descriptive, non-historized detail table that hangs off a parent business entity (BEN_EXT_RSLT) rather than acting as an independent hub or a many-to-many link. It records attributes about the parent result rather than defining new business keys, which is consistent with a satellite pattern.

Key Information Stored

The table contains 17 documented columns. The most significant are:

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical usage centers on diagnosing failed or partial extracts. Administrators join the error table to its parent result to see which extract, person, and request are affected. A representative query lists all errors for a given result:

  • SELECT e.EXT_RSLT_ERR_ID, e.ERR_NUM, e.TYP_CD, e.ERR_TXT, e.PERSON_ID FROM BEN.BEN_EXT_RSLT_ERR e WHERE e.EXT_RSLT_ID = :p_ext_rslt_id ORDER BY e.ERR_NUM;
  • To locate errors for a specific concurrent request: SELECT * FROM BEN.BEN_EXT_RSLT_ERR WHERE REQUEST_ID = :p_request_id;
  • To aggregate error frequency by type for trend reporting: SELECT TYP_CD, COUNT(*) FROM BEN.BEN_EXT_RSLT_ERR GROUP BY TYP_CD;

These patterns support operational troubleshooting, extract reconciliation reports, and carrier interface monitoring.

Related Objects

The following objects are most significant in relation to this table:

  • BEN_EXT_RSLT — the parent extract result table, joined via BEN_EXT_RSLT_ERR.EXT_RSLT_ID = BEN_EXT_RSLT.EXT_RSLT_ID. This is the documented foreign key relationship.
  • BEN_EXT_RSLT_ERR_PK — the primary key index on EXT_RSLT_ERR_ID, used for unique access and lookups.
  • PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F — joined via PERSON_ID to resolve participant identity for error display.
  • FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS — joined via REQUEST_ID to correlate errors with the concurrent request lifecycle.
  • FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAMS / FND_APPLICATION — joined via PROGRAM_ID and PROGRAM_APPLICATION_ID for program context.
  • HR_OPERATING_UNITS / business group references — associated via BUSINESS_GROUP_ID for organizational scoping.
