PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL

Schema: POtransactionOU-striped (ORG_ID)

Requisition headers — the requisition number, preparer, type (purchase vs internal), and approval status; where demand enters purchasing before it becomes a PO

Module: PurchasingOperating-unit striped (ORG_ID)
Notes

SEGMENT1 is the requisition number (same naming collision as the PO number). TRANSFERRED_TO_OE_FLAG marks internal requisitions handed to Order Management as internal sales orders.

Boilerplate SQL

Starting point for reading PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALLon 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  : PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL — Requisition headers — the requisition number, preparer, type (purchase vs internal), and approval status; where demand enters purchasing before it becomes a PO
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per operating unit (ORG_ID) + REQUISITION_HEADER_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.
