Overview

The table IGF_AW_AWD_RVSN_RSN_ALL is a core reference table within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Financial Aid module (IGF). Its primary function is to serve as a master repository for all predefined reasons that can be assigned when an existing financial aid award is revised or adjusted. This table is critical for maintaining data integrity and auditability, as it standardizes the categorization of award changes across the system. By enforcing a controlled list of revision reasons, it ensures consistent reporting and analysis of award modifications, which is a fundamental requirement for regulatory compliance in financial aid administration. The table is designed to support the multi-organization architecture of Oracle EBS, as indicated by the inclusion of the ORG_ID column in its unique key.

Key Information Stored

The table stores the descriptive and control data for each award revision reason. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the primary and unique key structures reveal the most critical fields. The primary key column, RVSN_ID, uniquely identifies each reason record with a system-generated identifier. The business key, enforced by the unique key constraint IGF_AW_AWD_RVSN_RSN_ALL_UK, is the combination of RVSN_CODE and ORG_ID. This structure allows for a unique revision reason code (RVSN_CODE) to be defined per operating unit (ORG_ID). Typical columns in such a reference table would also include a description field (e.g., DESCRIPTION), an active/inactive flag (e.g., ACTIVE), and standard EBS WHO columns for tracking creation and last update details.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily referenced during award maintenance transactions and for generating audit reports. When a financial aid administrator revises an award's amount, status, or terms, they must select a reason from the list defined in this table. Common use cases include tracking reasons for award increases due to cost-of-living adjustments, decreases due to changes in enrollment status, or cancellations. A typical query would join this table to award or disbursement records to analyze revision trends.

• Listing Active Revision Reasons for an OU: SELECT rvsn_code, description FROM igf_aw_awd_rvsn_rsn_all WHERE org_id = :p_org_id AND active = 'Y' ORDER BY rvsn_code;
• Reporting on Award Revisions: SELECT a.award_number, r.rvsn_code, r.description, a.last_update_date FROM igf_aw_award_all a, igf_aw_awd_rvsn_rsn_all r WHERE a.rvsn_id = r.rvsn_id AND a.org_id = r.org_id AND a.rvsn_id IS NOT NULL;

Related Objects

The IGF_AW_AWD_RVSN_RSN_ALL table is centrally linked to the core transactional tables in the Financial Aid module via foreign key relationships. These documented relationships are as follows:

• IGF_AW_AWARD_ALL: The primary award table references this reason table through the column IGF_AW_AWARD_ALL.RVSN_ID. This links a specific award record to the reason for its most recent revision.
• IGF_AW_AWD_DISB_ALL: The award disbursements table references this reason table through the column IGF_AW_AWD_DISB_ALL.RVSN_ID. This links a specific disbursement transaction to a revision reason, which is crucial for tracking changes to payment schedules.

These relationships ensure that every revision recorded against an award or disbursement is validated against the master list of permissible reasons, enforcing business rules and data consistency.
