Overview

The XTR_DATE_TYPES table is a core reference data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite Treasury (XTR) module. It serves as a master repository for defining and managing the various types of dates associated with different financial deal types. Its primary role is to enforce data integrity and provide a centralized definition for the date events that are critical to the lifecycle of treasury transactions, such as value dates, settlement dates, or maturity dates. By maintaining this reference, the system ensures consistency in how dates are captured, processed, and reported across all treasury operations.

Key Information Stored

Based on the provided metadata, the table's structure is defined by its primary key and its relationships. The primary key is a composite of two columns: DEAL_TYPE and DATE_TYPE. The DEAL_TYPE column categorizes the financial instrument (e.g., foreign exchange, money market), while the DATE_TYPE column specifies the particular event date applicable to that deal type. The table's description, "Date types information," indicates it stores the valid combinations of these two attributes. While specific non-key columns are not detailed in the excerpt, such a reference table typically includes descriptive columns like MEANING or DESCRIPTION to provide a clear label for each DATE_TYPE, and potentially flags to control processing behavior.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily used in two contexts: setup/administration and transactional validation. During implementation, it is populated with the date types required for each deal type configured in the system. A common reporting query would involve joining to descriptive tables to generate a list of all active date definitions. For example:

SELECT dt.deal_type, dt.date_type, dta.meaning
FROM xtr_date_types dt, xtr_deal_types_vl dta
WHERE dt.deal_type = dta.deal_type
ORDER BY 1, 2;

In daily operations, the table is referenced whenever a user enters date information for a deal. Applications will query this table to validate that a date type entered (e.g., 'VALUATION') is permissible for the selected deal type, preventing data entry errors.

Related Objects

The XTR_DATE_TYPES table has integral relationships with several other treasury tables, as documented by its foreign key constraints. It is a parent table to the following key transactional and setup objects:

  • XTR_DATE_AMOUNT_TYPES: Joined on (DEAL_TYPE, DATE_TYPE). This links date types to the specific financial amounts (e.g., principal, interest) that may be associated with them.
  • XTR_DEAL_DATE_AMOUNTS: Joined on (DEAL_TYPE, DATE_TYPE). This is a critical transactional table that stores the actual date and monetary values for each date type on a specific deal.
  • XTR_JOURNAL_ENTRY_ACTIONS: Joined on (DEAL_TYPE, DATE_TYPE). This links date types to the accounting actions that must be triggered when those dates are reached.

Furthermore, the DEAL_TYPE column in XTR_DATE_TYPES itself references the XTR_DEAL_TYPES table, ensuring that only valid, configured deal types can be used in date type definitions.
