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

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
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.

Structural facts — how the table is partitioned, not a trap by itself

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 with ORGANIZATION_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 LANGUAGE column (a _TL translation table or FND_LOOKUP_VALUES) — one row per language. Filter to one LANGUAGE or a join multiplies rows (see the quirks guide).

Join & extract hazards — verify before you rely on this

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.
In field listings, the Key chip marks a primary-key field.

Boilerplate SQL

Starting point for reading CST_COST_TYPES 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.

Query parameters

4 parameters not filled: <catalog>, <schema>, <COST_TYPE_ID>, <watermark>

-- ============================================================
-- 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.
