MTL_PARAMETERS
Schema: INVcontrolPer inventory orgInventory organization parameters — one row per inventory org, holding the short org code, the master org it points to, and the org's costing method and locator/lot/serial control defaults; the org list every ORGANIZATION_ID resolves against
MASTER_ORGANIZATION_ID points at the item-master org — a self-join here answers "which orgs share a master".

Boilerplate SQL
Starting point for reading MTL_PARAMETERSon 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.
-- ============================================================
-- Table : MTL_PARAMETERS — Inventory organization parameters — one row per inventory org, holding the short org code, the master org it points to, and the org's costing method and locator/lot/serial control defaults; the org list every ORGANIZATION_ID resolves against
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of MTL_PARAMETERS — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain : One row per inventory org (ORGANIZATION_ID) — see the Fields section for the full key
-- 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.
