Overview

The PA_PROJECT_STATUS_LOV_V view is a public Oracle E-Business Suite database object owned by the APPS schema within the Projects (PA) product family. Its documented purpose is to expose all valid project status codes for use as a List of Values (LOV) source. The view is described in the ETRM metadata as a retrofitted object, meaning it was introduced or reconstructed to provide a stable, forward-compatible interface over the underlying project status configuration data. It carries a VALID status in both Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.

Rather than returning the complete set of project status definitions, the view filters the underlying records so that only statuses currently active as of the system date are surfaced. This date-sensitive filtering makes the LOV appropriate for transactional and reporting use, where presenting expired or future-dated statuses would be misleading. Because the view returns only two columns — a code and a name — it is deliberately narrow in scope and optimized for value-selection UI components, concurrent program parameters, and custom reporting joins.

Underlying Base Objects

The documented base object referenced by the view is the synonym PA_PROJECT_STATUSES. The view text selects from this source with three restrictive predicates applied:

  • Date window: TRUNC(SYSDATE) BETWEEN START_DATE_ACTIVE AND NVL(END_DATE_ACTIVE, TRUNC(SYSDATE)) — returns only statuses whose active period includes the current date, treating a null end date as open-ended.
  • Status type: STATUS_TYPE = 'PROJECT' — restricts results to statuses defined for projects, excluding those configured for other status type classifications.
  • Projection: only PROJECT_STATUS_CODE and PROJECT_STATUS_NAME are exposed.

Since the view depends on SYSDATE, its result set changes over time as status records become active or expire. Consumers should not treat the output as static configuration data.

Key Columns

  • PROJECT_STATUS_CODE — The internal code identifying the project status. This is the value typically stored on project records and referenced in validation logic and lookups.
  • PROJECT_STATUS_NAME — The user-facing display name for the status, suitable for direct presentation in forms, reports, and LOV lists.

The ETRM metadata documents only these two columns, consistent with the view's narrow purpose as an LOV provider. No descriptive or audit columns are projected.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical uses include populating status selection lists in custom Oracle Forms or OAF pages, supplying parameter values for concurrent programs, and joining to project data in custom reports to translate status codes into readable names.

Retrieve all currently active project statuses:

SELECT project_status_code, project_status_name
FROM   apps.pa_project_status_lov_v;

Resolve the name for a specific code in a reporting join:

SELECT p.project_id, p.project_number, v.project_status_name
FROM   apps.pa_projects p,
       apps.pa_project_status_lov_v v
WHERE  p.project_status_code = v.project_status_code;

Because the view already filters by active date range and status type, callers need not re-apply those predicates. Note, however, that a project retaining a status code that has since expired will not match the join above; historical reporting should query PA_PROJECT_STATUSES directly rather than the LOV view.
