BOM_OPERATION_SEQUENCES
Schema: BOMmasterRouting operations — one row per operation per routing per effectivity window, department-assigned, with the count-point and backflush controls that decide where work is recorded
Date-effective operation rows — the same operation number reappears per revision window; as-of filtering applies here just like components
No org column — the organization resolves through the routing header. Components tie to operations by the OPERATION_SEQ_NUM value, not a foreign key (1 is the default when no routing exists).
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.
Structural facts — how the table is partitioned, not a trap by itself
Join & extract hazards — verify before you rely on this
Header & line
BOM_OPERATION_SEQUENCES lines join back to their header BOM_OPERATIONAL_ROUTINGS — and the org column — so a line never fans out.

| # | Field | Description | Type | Flags |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OPERATION_SEQUENCE_ID | Surrogate key of the operation — what operation resources hang off | NUMBER | Primary-key field |
| 2 | ROUTING_SEQUENCE_ID | The routing the operation belongs to — also where the organization resolves from | NUMBER | |

| 4 | DEPARTMENT_ID | The department (work center) the operation runs in | NUMBER | |
| 5 | EFFECTIVITY_DATE | When the operation row becomes effective — the as-of filter column | DATE | The table's primary analysis date — a real DATE column, no conversion needed |
| 6 | DISABLE_DATE | Effectivity end — NULL while active | DATE | |
| 7 | IMPLEMENTATION_DATE | NULL on unimplemented engineering changes | DATE | |
| 8 | STANDARD_OPERATION_ID | The standard operation this one was created from | NUMBER | |
| 9 | OPERATION_DESCRIPTION | Operation description | VARCHAR2 | |
| 10 | COUNT_POINT_TYPE | Count-point/autocharge behavior — where work must be recorded | NUMBER | |
| 11 | BACKFLUSH_FLAG | Whether moves backflush pull components here | NUMBER | |
| 12 | OPTION_DEPENDENT_FLAG | Whether the operation appears only when its option is chosen | NUMBER | |
| 13 | MINIMUM_TRANSFER_QUANTITY | Minimum quantity moved between operations | NUMBER | |
| 14 | YIELD | Operation yield | NUMBER |

Boilerplate SQL
Starting point for reading BOM_OPERATION_SEQUENCES 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_OPERATION_SEQUENCES — Routing operations — one row per operation per routing per effectivity window, department-assigned, with the count-point and backflush controls that decide where work is recorded
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of BOM_OPERATION_SEQUENCES — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain : One row per OPERATION_SEQUENCE_ID
-- Caution: Date-effective operation rows — the same operation number reappears per revision window; as-of filtering applies here just like components
-- 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.

More BOM & Costing tables
- BOM_OPERATIONAL_ROUTINGSThe routing header — one routing per assembly item, organization, and alternate designator, with the common-routing pointer and the completion subinventory finished assemblies land in
- BOM_RESOURCESThe resource master — machines, labor, and outside processing, plus overhead and material sub-elements sharing the table (the cost element discriminates), each with its UOM, charge behavior, and absorption account
- BOM_STRUCTURES_BThe bill-of-material header — one bill per assembly item, organization, and alternate designator (manufacturing or engineering), with the common-bill pointer that lets organizations share one structure
- CST_COST_TYPESThe cost type master — the seeded Frozen, Average, and Pending types plus user-defined types for rollups and simulations, with the fallback pointer rollups use for missing costs
- CST_ITEM_COST_DETAILSThe cost-element breakdown under each item cost — one row per element, level, and department/operation/resource contribution; where a rolled-up cost's ingredients live
- CST_ITEM_COSTSThe item cost header — one row per item, organization, and cost type, carrying the total unit cost and its five cost-element buckets plus this-level/previous-level splits
