Overview

The IGW_ORG_QUESTIONS table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Grants Proposal module (IGW). It functions as a repository for storing organization-specific responses to standardized questions. This table is integral to the proposal preparation and compliance process, enabling institutions to capture and maintain detailed qualitative and compliance-related information about their internal organizational units. By linking questions to specific organizations, it supports the complex requirements of grant applications, where funding agencies often require detailed attestations and explanations from the applying entity and its constituent departments.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is defined by its composite primary key and its foreign key relationships. The primary key consists of ORGANIZATION_ID and QUESTION_NUMBER, ensuring a unique response per organization per question. The ORGANIZATION_ID column stores the identifier linking to the HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS table, which defines the organizational hierarchy within the enterprise. The QUESTION_NUMBER column stores the identifier for the specific question, linking to the master list of questions defined in the IGW_QUESTIONS table. While the specific answer column is not detailed in the provided metadata, tables of this nature typically include columns such as ANSWER, ANSWER_DATE, and LAST_UPDATE_DATE to store the response data and audit information.

Common Use Cases and Queries

A primary use case is generating compliance reports for a specific proposal or organization, pulling all answered questions. A common query pattern involves joining to the organization and question master tables for descriptive information. For example, to retrieve all questions and answers for a specific organization unit, a query would join IGW_ORG_QUESTIONS (IOQ) with IGW_QUESTIONS (IQ) and HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS (HAOU). Another critical scenario is data validation during proposal submission, where the system checks for mandatory organizational questions that must be answered before a proposal can be submitted. Administrators may also run queries to audit completion rates across departments or to extract data for external reporting to grant-making agencies.
