MTL_UOM_CONVERSIONS

Schema: INVmaster

Intra-class UOM conversion rates to each class's base unit — both standard conversions and item-specific overrides, distinguished by the item id

Notes

INVENTORY_ITEM_ID = 0 is the standard (item-independent) conversion row; an item-specific row for the same UOM wins over it — Oracle's own conversion logic reads both and prefers the item row. Cross-class conversions live in MTL_UOM_CLASS_CONVERSIONS (later wave). Conversions are global (no org column).

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 MTL_UOM_CONVERSIONSon 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  : MTL_UOM_CONVERSIONS — Intra-class UOM conversion rates to each class's base unit — both standard conversions and item-specific overrides, distinguished by the item id
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of MTL_UOM_CONVERSIONS — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per INVENTORY_ITEM_ID + UOM_CODE
-- 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.
-- ============================================================
