MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B

-- ============================================================
-- Table  : MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B — The item master — one row per item per inventory organization, carrying identity (the SEGMENTn flexfield the user-visible item number concatenates from), status, unit of measure, and the control flags for every functional area; every balance, transaction, and order line joins back to it on INVENTORY_ITEM_ID + ORGANIZATION_ID
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per inventory org (ORGANIZATION_ID) + INVENTORY_ITEM_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.
