CST_COST_TYPES

Schema: BOMcontrol

The 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

Module: BOM & CostingNot org-partitioned
Notes

Effectively global: ORGANIZATION_ID is nullable and seeded/shared types carry NULL, so this catalog does not anchor the table on an org. The conventional numeric ids of the seeded types are not Oracle-attested — resolve them from your own instance.

What the badges mean
master
Data class: what the table holds — master data, transaction documents, control/configuration, interface/staging, or an APPS-schema view.
In field listings, K marks a primary-key field.

Boilerplate SQL

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

Query parameters
-- ============================================================
-- Table  : CST_COST_TYPES — The 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
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of CST_COST_TYPES — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per COST_TYPE_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.
