Overview

The PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_B table is a core base table within the Oracle E-Business Suite Partner Management (PV) module, specifically in versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It serves as the master repository for defining distinct partner program types. A partner program type categorizes the nature and structure of a partner engagement, such as a reseller program, referral program, or alliance program. This table is fundamental to the configuration and classification of partner programs, enabling organizations to segment and manage different partner relationships according to predefined business models. As a base table, it is designed to hold the primary transactional and configuration data, which is then referenced by numerous other entities within the Partner Management schema.

Key Information Stored

While the provided metadata does not list specific column details, the structure of the table can be inferred from its relationships and standard Oracle EBS conventions. The primary column is PROGRAM_TYPE_ID, which is a unique system-generated identifier (primary key) for each program type record. This ID is the critical foreign key referenced by all related tables. Based on typical base table patterns, other columns likely include descriptive fields like NAME or PROGRAM_TYPE_CODE, creation and last update date columns (CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATE_DATE), and columns for tracking the creator and last updater (CREATED_BY, LAST_UPDATED_BY). The table may also contain columns for controlling the active status (e.g., ACTIVE_FLAG or START_DATE/END_DATE) and other attributes specific to program type configuration.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily used for setup, reporting, and data validation. Common operational scenarios include creating a list of all active program types for a setup form or LOV (List of Values), validating a PROGRAM_TYPE_ID during the creation of a new partner program, and generating reports that analyze partner programs by their type. A typical query would join this base table with its corresponding translation table (PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_TL) to retrieve user-friendly names in a specific language.

Related Objects

The PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_B table is central to the Partner Management data model, as evidenced by its foreign key relationships. The documented relationships are as follows:

  • PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_B: This table stores the master definitions of individual partner programs. Its PROGRAM_TYPE_ID column references PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_B.PROGRAM_TYPE_ID, classifying each program under a specific type.
  • PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_TL: This is the translation table for PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_B. Its PROGRAM_TYPE_ID column references the base table, allowing for multilingual support of the program type names and descriptions.
  • PV_PROGRAM_PARTNER_TYPES: This table, which likely governs the assignment of partner types (e.g., Gold, Silver) to specific programs, references the base table via its PROGRAM_TYPE_ID column, linking type classifications to program structures.
