The PER_ORGANIZATION_LIST table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 is a critical repository for organizational hierarchy and structure data within the Human Capital Management (HCM) module. This table stores metadata about business units, departments, divisions, and other organizational entities, enabling efficient workforce management, reporting, and compliance. Below is a detailed analysis of its structure, purpose, and significance in Oracle EBS.

Table Overview

The PER_ORGANIZATION_LIST table serves as a master reference for organizational units, linking them to key HR and financial functions. It is part of the Oracle HRMS (Human Resource Management System) schema and interacts with modules like Payroll, Benefits, and General Ledger. The table contains fields such as ORGANIZATION_ID, NAME, DATE_FROM, DATE_TO, and TYPE, which define the entity's lifespan, classification, and relationships.

Key Columns and Their Functions

  • ORGANIZATION_ID: Primary key, uniquely identifying each organizational unit.
  • NAME: Descriptive label for the organization (e.g., "Finance Department").
  • TYPE: Classifies the unit (e.g., "HR," "Finance," "Operations").
  • DATE_FROM/DATE_TO: Defines the active period, supporting temporal data management.
  • LOCATION_ID: Links to physical addresses in the HR_LOCATIONS table.

Integration with Other Modules

The table integrates with:
  • Financials: Ties organizations to cost centers in GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS.
  • Payroll: Assigns employees to payroll groups via PER_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS.
  • Security: Restricts data access using HR_ORGANIZATION_UNITS in role-based security.

Functional Significance

  1. Hierarchy Management: Supports multi-level org structures (e.g., parent-child relationships).
  2. Reporting: Enables drill-down analytics in Oracle BI or Discoverer.
  3. Compliance: Tracks legal entities for regulatory requirements (e.g., SOX, GDPR).

Technical Considerations

  • Indexes: Optimized for queries on ORGANIZATION_ID and NAME.
  • APIs: Managed via HR_ORGANIZATION_API for CRUD operations.
  • Audit Trails: Changes logged in PER_ORGANIZATION_LIST_F for history tracking.

Version-Specific Notes

In 12.2.2, enhancements include:
  • Improved support for cloud integrations via REST APIs.
  • Extended attributes in PER_ORG_LIST_EXTRA_INFO for custom fields.

Conclusion

The PER_ORGANIZATION_LIST table is foundational for organizational modeling in Oracle EBS HCM. Its design ensures scalability, compliance, and seamless integration across modules, making it indispensable for enterprises leveraging Oracle's HR and financial ecosystems. Proper configuration and maintenance of this table are crucial for accurate reporting, payroll processing, and organizational governance.
