OE_ORDER_SOURCES

Schema: ONTcontrol

The order source master — the feeder systems order import brings sales documents in from (EDI, web, copies, internal orders), a small global decode for ORDER_SOURCE_ID

Identity
Module: Order ManagementNot org-partitioned
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 OE_ORDER_SOURCES 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>, <ORDER_SOURCE_ID>, <watermark>

-- ============================================================
-- Table  : OE_ORDER_SOURCES — The order source master — the feeder systems order import brings sales documents in from (EDI, web, copies, internal orders), a small global decode for ORDER_SOURCE_ID
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of OE_ORDER_SOURCES — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per ORDER_SOURCE_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.
-- ============================================================
SELECT
  t.ORDER_SOURCE_ID AS "Surrogate key — what order headers carry",
  t.NAME AS "The source's name — EDI, online, copy, internal…",
  t.DESCRIPTION AS "Source description",
  t.ENABLED_FLAG AS "Whether the source is active",
  t.CREATE_CUSTOMERS_FLAG AS "Whether order import may create customers from this source"
FROM <catalog>.<schema>.OE_ORDER_SOURCES t
WHERE
  1 = 1  -- no partition column on this table; the filters below are optional
  -- AND t.ORDER_SOURCE_ID = <ORDER_SOURCE_ID>
  -- AND t.LAST_UPDATE_DATE >= TIMESTAMP '<watermark>'  -- WHO watermark, bulk-stamped by batch jobs; see quirks guide #who-columns
ORDER BY t.ORDER_SOURCE_ID;
