APPS-schema view over BOM_STRUCTURES_B — land the base table for extraction; this entry exists so the familiar name resolves.
What the badges mean
- Schema: INV
- Schema: the Oracle product schema that owns the table (INV, ONT, WSH, PO, BOM, WIP, MRP, MSC, AR, AP, GL, HR, APPLSYS) — tells you which product family the object belongs to, not who can query it.
- master
- Data class: what the table holds — master data, transaction documents, control/configuration, interface/staging, or an APPS-schema view.
- OU-striped (ORG_ID)
- Rows are scoped to an operating unit. A landed extract carries every operating unit’s rows — filter or join on
ORG_ID, and don’t confuse it withORGANIZATION_ID(see the quirks guide). - Per inventory org
- Rows are scoped to an inventory organization (plant or warehouse) via
ORGANIZATION_ID— a different partition from OU-striped tables (see the quirks guide). - Language-striped
- The table carries a
LANGUAGEcolumn (a _TL translation table or FND_LOOKUP_VALUES) — one row per language. Filter to oneLANGUAGEor a join multiplies rows (see the quirks guide). - View
- This is an APPS-schema convenience view, not a physical table. Extract the base tables it joins instead — views can be slow at scale and aren't guaranteed stable across patches.

Boilerplate SQL
Starting point for reading BOM_BILL_OF_MATERIALS on Databricks — real DATE columns need no conversion, and the org anchor is already in place. The optional LAST_UPDATE_DATE watermark is included. Set your Unity Catalog location, schema, and org values below; they’re substituted into the SQL and the copy button.

-- ============================================================
-- Table : BOM_BILL_OF_MATERIALS — The compatibility view legacy queries know BOM headers by — a window onto the structures table under the familiar 11i name
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of BOM_BILL_OF_MATERIALS — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain : One row per inventory org (ORGANIZATION_ID) + BILL_SEQUENCE_ID
-- Notes : Auto-generated skeleton for Oracle EBS R12 data landed in your lakehouse. Dates are real DATE/TIMESTAMP columns — no conversion needed. WHO audit columns omitted (see the quirks guide); the optional LAST_UPDATE_DATE watermark filter supports incremental extracts. APPS-schema view — land its base tables for extraction; see the table notes.
