PO_RELEASES_ALL
Schema: POtransactionOU-striped (ORG_ID)Blanket and planned PO releases — one row per release with its number, date, buyer, and approval status; the shipment schedules a release creates point back here
Release numbers are unique per PO header, not globally. Blanket agreement headers carry no shipments of their own until released.
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.
- 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 withORGANIZATION_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
LANGUAGEcolumn (a _TL translation table or FND_LOOKUP_VALUES) — one row per language. Filter to oneLANGUAGEor a join multiplies rows (see the quirks guide). - 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.

Boilerplate SQL
Starting point for reading PO_RELEASES_ALL 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.

-- Table : PO_RELEASES_ALL — Blanket and planned PO releases — one row per release with its number, date, buyer, and approval status; the shipment schedules a release creates point back here
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of PO_RELEASES_ALL — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain : One row per operating unit (ORG_ID) + PO_RELEASE_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.

- PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALLRequisition headers — the requisition number, preparer, type (purchase vs internal), and approval status; where demand enters purchasing before it becomes a PO
- PO_REQUISITION_LINES_ALLRequisition lines — item, quantity, price, need-by date, destination inventory org, and sourcing suggestion per line; carries the link to the PO shipment autocreate built from it
- PO_VENDORSThe compatibility view legacy purchasing queries know suppliers by — resolves to the supplier master joined to its trading-community party; kept for the name, not the extraction path
- AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALLSupplier sites — the purchasing/pay/RFQ site records per supplier, one row per site per operating unit, with the site code and control flags; where supplier data meets MOAC striping
- AP_SUPPLIERSThe R12 supplier master — one global row per supplier with the supplier number, type, and control flags, backed by the trading community architecture through its party id
- PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALLPO accounting distributions — how each shipment schedule's quantity charges out: destination type, receiving inventory org and subinventory, charge account (CCID), and the requisition distribution it fulfills
