Overview

BEN_TCS_PER_ITEM is a table in the BEN schema (Advanced Benefits) within Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. Per the ETRM metadata, its purpose is to identify the compensation item for a person — in other words, it stores the individual line items that make up a person's total compensation statement. Each row links a person's compensation statement structure to a specific compensation ITEM_ID, storing amount-driving attributes such as unit of measure. This makes it a core detail table in the Total Compensation Statement (TCS) subsystem of Advanced Benefits, sitting between the statement header/assignment records and the stored item values.

Data Vault classification (heuristic): The metadata classifies this table as standalone. From a Data Vault modeling perspective, BEN_TCS_PER_ITEM behaves as a link entity — it resolves relationships between a compensation statement, a statement period, a statement assignment, a person, an assignment, and a compensation item, rather than acting as a pure descriptive hub or satellite.

The table contains 15 documented columns. The most significant include:

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical uses involve extracting and reconciling compensation statement line items, and joining the item header to its associated values.

  • List items for a person: SELECT PER_ITEM_ID, ITEM_ID, UOM, STMT_PERD_ID FROM BEN_TCS_PER_ITEM WHERE PERSON_ID = :p_person;
  • Retrieve item values: join to BEN_TCS_PER_ITEM_VALUE on PER_ITEM_ID to obtain stored monetary/quantity values.
  • Statement-to-item reporting: join BEN_TCS_STMT and BEN_TCS_STMT_PERD on STMT_ID and STMT_PERD_ID to report all items within a given statement period.
  • Assignment-level analysis: filter or group by ASSIGNMENT_ID and ASG_STMT_ID to analyze compensation across multiple assignments.
