Overview

The PA_PRJ_TYPES_IT_ALL table is a core data repository within the Oracle E-Business Suite Projects (PA) module, specifically designed to support the Oracle Project Analysis Collection Pack. This table functions as the master source for project type definitions, which are critical for classifying and governing projects throughout the application. It operates within the multi-org architecture, as indicated by the _ALL suffix and the ORG_ID column, allowing it to store and segregate project type data by operating unit. Its primary role is to establish and enforce a controlled list of valid project types that can be assigned to projects, ensuring data integrity and consistency for downstream reporting and analysis processes.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is defined by its composite primary key, which consists of the ORG_ID and PROJECT_TYPE columns. The ORG_ID column stores the identifier for the operating unit, enabling the table to maintain organization-specific lists of project types. The PROJECT_TYPE column holds the actual code or name that categorizes projects, such as 'INTERNAL', 'CONTRACT', or 'CAPITAL'. A critical foreign key column is ALL_PROJECT_TYPES, which references the PA_ALL_PRJ_TYPES_IT table. This relationship suggests the table may store both seeded and user-defined types, linking to a master list of all possible types while enforcing organization-specific availability and context.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to validation, reporting, and setup tasks. A common use case is validating a project type during project creation or import via the API. System administrators use this table to maintain the list of active project types available for a given operating unit. For reporting, it is frequently joined to project transaction tables to analyze effort, cost, or revenue by project category. A typical query to list all project types for a specific organization would be: SELECT PROJECT_TYPE FROM PA.PA_PRJ_TYPES_IT_ALL WHERE ORG_ID = :p_org_id ORDER BY PROJECT_TYPE;. Another common pattern is joining to the PA_PROJECTS_IT_ALL table to report on projects by their type description.

Related Objects

  • Primary Key: PA_PRJ_TYPES_IT_ALL_PK on columns (ORG_ID, PROJECT_TYPE).
  • Referenced Foreign Key (Outbound): The column ALL_PROJECT_TYPES references the PA_ALL_PRJ_TYPES_IT table. This links the organization-specific instance to a master definition.
  • Referencing Foreign Key (Inbound): The PA_PROJECTS_IT_ALL table references this table via its ORG_ID and PROJECT_TYPE columns (PA_PROJECTS_IT_ALL.ORG_ID, PA_PROJECTS_IT_ALL.PROJECT_TYPE → PA_PRJ_TYPES_IT_ALL). This enforces that every project must have a valid, organization-specific project type.
