Overview

The IGS_AD_SS_TERMS table is a data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Release 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It is specifically associated with the IGS (Student System) product family, which is documented as obsolete. The table's core function is to store Terms and Conditions linked to specific Admission Application Types. This structure allows educational institutions to define and enforce specific contractual or policy clauses that applicants must acknowledge or agree to as part of the submission process for a particular type of application. The table's design indicates it was a foundational component for managing compliance and legal agreements within the student admissions workflow.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is defined by its primary key, which consists of two columns. The ADMISSION_APPLICATION_TYPE column stores a code or identifier that classifies the type of admission application (e.g., undergraduate, graduate, transfer). The COND_ID column holds a unique identifier for a specific term or condition associated with that application type. While the detailed column list is not fully provided in the metadata, the logical implication is that the table would also contain columns for the condition text itself, effective dates, versioning, and potentially a flag indicating if acknowledgment is mandatory. The two-part primary key ensures that a unique combination of application type and condition identifier is maintained.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case for this table is to retrieve the applicable terms for a given admission application type, typically for display to an applicant or for internal auditing purposes. A common reporting need would be to list all active conditions for all application types. A typical SQL query would involve joining to the related application type table (IGS_AD_SS_APPL_TYP) to get the descriptive name of the application type. For example:

  • SELECT appt.application_type_name, term.cond_id, term.condition_text FROM igs_ad_ss_terms term, igs_ad_ss_appl_typ appt WHERE term.admission_application_type = appt.admission_application_type;

Another critical use case is data validation during application submission, where the system would verify that the applicant has acknowledged all mandatory terms linked to the chosen application type.

Related Objects

Based on the provided metadata, IGS_AD_SS_TERMS has a direct and documented foreign key relationship with the IGS_AD_SS_APPL_TYP table. This relationship enforces referential integrity, ensuring that every record in IGS_AD_SS_TERMS corresponds to a valid, pre-defined admission application type in the system. The join is performed on the ADMISSION_APPLICATION_TYPE column, which exists in both tables. The primary key of IGS_AD_SS_TERMS (IGS_AD_SS_TERMS_PK) is a composite of ADMISSION_APPLICATION_TYPE and COND_ID. No other foreign key relationships for this table are documented in the provided excerpt.
