EBS Reference

MSC_SYSTEM_ITEMS

Schema: MSCmasterPer inventory org

The planning copy of the item master at plan + instance + org + item grain — collected item attributes frozen per plan run, and the bridge column back to the source EBS item

Module: PlanningInventory-org partitioned (ORGANIZATION_ID)
Grain note

INVENTORY_ITEM_ID here is the planning-side surrogate — the EBS item id is SR_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID; joining plan output straight to the EBS item master on the local id is wrong

Notes

Attributes are frozen per plan run — the same item differs across PLAN_IDs. The physical unique key extends the four-part grain with simulation-set columns, so simulation runs can duplicate the working key. In multi-instance deployments the org ids are instance-qualified — the bridge join back to EBS assumes a single collected instance.

Boilerplate SQL

Starting point for reading MSC_SYSTEM_ITEMSon 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  : MSC_SYSTEM_ITEMS — The planning copy of the item master at plan + instance + org + item grain — collected item attributes frozen per plan run, and the bridge column back to the source EBS item
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of MSC_SYSTEM_ITEMS — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per inventory org (ORGANIZATION_ID) + PLAN_ID + SR_INSTANCE_ID + INVENTORY_ITEM_ID
-- Caution: INVENTORY_ITEM_ID here is the planning-side surrogate — the EBS item id is SR_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID; joining plan output straight to the EBS item master on the local id is wrong
-- 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.
