Overview

APPS.PA_REP_REQT_PROJS_V is a reporting view in the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Projects (PA) module. It is owned by the APPS schema and registered under the FND Design Data identifier PA.PA_REP_REQT_PROJS_V. Its documented status is VALID, and it is classified as an Internal view type. This view is designed to present a compact, denormalized list of projects together with a combined project name and number identifier, which is particularly useful for reporting, lookup screens, and integration interfaces where a human-readable project label is required.

The name indicates its purpose: "REP" suggests reporting, "REQT" likely relates to requirements, and "PROJS" denotes projects. The view is therefore oriented toward providing a simple, flat projection of project identity data rather than the full set of project attributes available in the underlying base tables. The view is documented with a warning that it is for Oracle Internal Use Only, and Oracle does not support access to applications data through this object except from standard Oracle Applications programs. Any custom use should therefore be treated as unsupported.

Underlying Base Objects

According to the ETRM metadata, APPS.PA_REP_REQT_PROJS_V is defined over two referenced base objects:

PA_PROJECTS_ALL is the primary project definition table in Oracle Projects, holding one row per project including identifiers, names, numbers, and organizational attributes. PA_PROJECT_ASSIGNMENTS captures assignment of projects to organizations, roles, or other classification structures. The view joins or selects from these tables to produce project identifiers and descriptive labels. The metadata further states that APPS.PA_REP_REQT_PROJS_V is not referenced by any database object, meaning it is a terminal consumer object with no dependents within the database.

Key Columns

The view exposes four columns, as documented:

  • PROJECT_ID (NUMBER(15)) — Internal identifier of the project. This is the primary key linking back to PA_PROJECTS_ALL.
  • PROJECT_NAME (VARCHAR2(30)) — The project name as stored in the project definition.
  • PROJECT_NUMBER (VARCHAR2(25)) — The project number, which is the user-facing alternate identifier.
  • PROJECT_NAME_NUMBER (VARCHAR2(57)) — A concatenation of project name and project number, producing a single display label. The length of 57 is consistent with the combined maximum lengths of the two source columns plus a separator.

The presence of PROJECT_NAME_NUMBER directly addresses the common search term "project_name_number", since this column provides exactly the combined text that users frequently need when identifying projects in lists or reports.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This view is typically used for simple project lookups, list-of-values queries, and reporting where only project identity is required. A basic query is:

  • SELECT PROJECT_ID, PROJECT_NAME, PROJECT_NUMBER, PROJECT_NAME_NUMBER FROM APPS.PA_REP_REQT_PROJS_V;
  • To locate a project by its combined label: SELECT PROJECT_ID, PROJECT_NUMBER FROM APPS.PA_REP_REQT_PROJS_V WHERE PROJECT_NAME_NUMBER LIKE '%&search%';
  • To join with project transactions for reporting: SELECT p.PROJECT_NAME_NUMBER, t.* FROM APPS.PA_REP_REQT_PROJS_V p, APPS.PA_EXPENDITURES_ALL t WHERE p.PROJECT_ID = t.PROJECT_ID;

Because the view is marked for internal use, custom integrations should prefer officially supported APIs or base tables where possible. When used, access should be limited to read-only queries against the APPS schema, and the results validated against PA_PROJECTS_ALL to ensure consistency.
