Overview

The table IBY_BEP_ACCT_OPT_NAME_TL is a core translation table within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Payments module (IBY). It stores the translated, user-facing names for various account options that are configurable for Business Event Processors (BEPs). A BEP is a payment system adapter that handles the communication and formatting for specific payment methods, such as EFT, wire transfers, or checks. The role of this table is to support the multilingual capabilities of the application by holding the translated descriptions of these technical configuration options, enabling a localized user interface in global implementations. The '_TL' suffix is a standard Oracle EBS convention denoting a Translation table.

Key Information Stored

This table holds the language-specific labels for account option codes. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the structure of such translation tables in Oracle EBS is highly consistent. The key columns typically include:

  • ACCOUNT_OPTION_CODE and BEPID: These columns form the foreign key to the base table (IBY_BEP_ACCT_OPT_NAME_B). They identify the specific account option and the Business Event Processor it belongs to.
  • LANGUAGE and SOURCE_LANG: Standard columns that identify the language of the translated text (e.g., 'US', 'DE') and the original language of the source record.
  • NAME: The most critical column for this table, containing the translated, descriptive name of the account option as it should appear in the application's user interface for the specified language.
  • Standard WHO columns (CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN) for auditing.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case is to retrieve the appropriate descriptive name for a payment system account option based on the user's session language. This occurs dynamically within the application's forms and reports. A common reporting or diagnostic query would join the translation table with its base table to see all available translations for a given option. For example:

SELECT b.ACCOUNT_OPTION_CODE, t.LANGUAGE, t.NAME
FROM IBY.IBY_BEP_ACCT_OPT_NAME_B b,
    IBY.IBY_BEP_ACCT_OPT_NAME_TL t
WHERE b.ACCOUNT_OPTION_CODE = t.ACCOUNT_OPTION_CODE
AND b.BEPID = t.BEPID
AND b.ACCOUNT_OPTION_CODE = '<OPTION_CODE>';

Another critical use case is during the implementation of a new language, where translated values for these configuration options must be populated into this table, often via the standard Oracle translation tools.

Related Objects

As documented in the provided metadata, this table has a direct and essential relationship with its base table. The specific foreign key relationship is:

  • Base Table (IBY_BEP_ACCT_OPT_NAME_B): The translation table references the base table via a composite foreign key on the columns ACCOUNT_OPTION_CODE and BEPID. The base table holds the seed data and technical definition of the account option, while this TL table holds only the translated names. Any query for a user-facing description will typically join these two tables on these key columns filtered by the LANGUAGE column.
