Overview

The OKE_PRIORITY_CODES_B table is a core reference data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite Project Contracts (OKE) module. It functions as a master repository for defining and storing priority codes that can be assigned to contract documents, primarily contract headers. These codes enable organizations to classify and manage contracts based on their business urgency or strategic importance, facilitating prioritization in workflows, reporting, and operational processes. As a base table (indicated by the '_B' suffix), it holds the fundamental transactional data, which is typically extended by corresponding descriptive tables (like OKE_PRIORITY_CODES_TL for translated descriptions) within the application's architecture.

Key Information Stored

While the provided metadata does not list specific columns, the structure of such reference tables in Oracle EBS typically includes key fields. The primary column is PRIORITY_CODE, which serves as the unique identifier (primary key) for each priority definition. Other standard columns likely present include ENABLED_FLAG (to activate or deactivate the code), START_DATE_ACTIVE and END_DATE_ACTIVE for defining the valid date range, and standard Who columns (CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN). The table's purpose is to maintain a controlled, validated list of codes for consistent application across contract records.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case is the assignment of a priority classification to a project contract via the PRIORITY_CODE field in the contract header. This enables filtered reporting and dashboards to highlight high-priority contracts. Administrators use this table to maintain the list of valid codes through the application's setup interfaces. Common SQL queries include retrieving all active priority codes for a list of values (LOV) or joining with contract headers for analysis. A typical reporting query would be:

  • SELECT h.contract_number, p.priority_code, h.description FROM oke_k_headers_b h, oke_priority_codes_b p WHERE h.priority_code = p.priority_code AND p.enabled_flag = 'Y';

This table is also crucial for data validation, ensuring that any priority code entered on a contract exists in this master table.

Related Objects

As documented in the foreign key relationships, OKE_PRIORITY_CODES_B is directly referenced by two key transactional tables in the Project Contracts module. The PRIORITY_CODE column links to the contract header records, establishing a clear data integrity relationship.

  • OKE_K_HEADERS / OKE_K_HEADERS_B: This is the primary contract headers table. Its PRIORITY_CODE column is a foreign key to OKE_PRIORITY_CODES_B, assigning a priority to each active contract.
  • OKE_K_HEADERS_H: This is the history table for contract headers. It also maintains a foreign key relationship on its PRIORITY_CODE column, preserving the priority information as it existed at each historical revision of the contract header.

These relationships confirm that OKE_PRIORITY_CODES_B is a central lookup table for contract prioritization, ensuring referential integrity across both current and historical contract data.
