Overview

The IGS_SV_FINANCE_INFO table is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite Student System (IGS) module. Its primary function is to store detailed financial information pertaining to Foreign students and Exchange Visitors, specifically as mandated for compliance with the U.S. Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). This table is critical for institutions managing international student records, as it holds the financial data required to demonstrate a student's ability to fund their education and living expenses, which is a key condition for maintaining legal visa status. The table operates within the broader SEVIS-related data model, ensuring financial records are accurately linked to individual student records for regulatory reporting and updates.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to associate financial data with a specific person and processing batch. Its composite primary key, consisting of BATCH_ID and PERSON_ID, ensures a unique financial record per individual within a given batch context. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the table logically stores information such as funding source types (e.g., personal funds, institutional scholarships, government sponsorships), specific amounts from each source, currency details, and the associated dates or periods the funding covers. This data collectively forms the financial profile submitted for SEVIS purposes.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case is the generation and transmission of SEVIS records, where financial data is extracted, validated, and formatted for regulatory submission. Administrators may query this table to audit financial documentation for specific students or batches. Common SQL patterns involve joining to the person master table to retrieve student details. For example, to list all financial records for a specific processing batch, a query would typically join on both key columns: SELECT * FROM igs.igs_sv_finance_info fi, igs.igs_sv_persons p WHERE fi.batch_id = :batch_number AND fi.person_id = p.person_id;. Reporting use cases include verifying funding completeness before SEVIS submission and analyzing funding source trends across the international student population.

Related Objects

The table has a defined dependency on the IGS_SV_PERSONS table, which serves as the master record for individuals within the SEVIS data model. The documented foreign key relationship is:

  • IGS_SV_PERSONS: The IGS_SV_FINANCE_INFO table references this table via a foreign key on the composite columns (BATCH_ID, PERSON_ID). This ensures that every financial record is explicitly tied to a valid person record within a specific batch, maintaining referential integrity. The primary key of IGS_SV_FINANCE_INFO (IGS_SV_FINANCE_INFO_PK) is defined on these same columns.
This relationship indicates that IGS_SV_FINANCE_INFO is a child table, with its existence dependent on a corresponding entry in IGS_SV_PERSONS.
