PO_VENDORS

Schema: APviewView

The 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

Module: PurchasingNot org-partitioned
Notes

In 12.2.2 the physical PO-schema table of this name is marked not implemented — the runtime object is an APPS view over AP_SUPPLIERS. Land AP_SUPPLIERS (and AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL) instead; this entry exists so the familiar name resolves.

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 PO_VENDORSon 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_VENDORS — The 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
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of PO_VENDORS — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per VENDOR_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. APPS-schema view — land its base tables for extraction; see the table notes.
-- ============================================================
SELECT
  t.VENDOR_ID AS "The supplier id — identical to the supplier master's key",
  t.VENDOR_NAME AS "Supplier name, through the view",
  t.SEGMENT1 AS "The supplier number",
  t.VENDOR_TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE AS "Supplier type classification",
  t.ENABLED_FLAG AS "Whether the supplier is active",
  t.PARTY_ID AS "The trading-community party — exposed by the view's join"

Extraction note

PO_VENDORSis an APPS-schema convenience view. Land the base tables it joins instead of extracting from the view directly — views can be slow at scale and aren’t guaranteed stable across patches.
