RCV_SHIPMENT_HEADERS
Schema: POtransactionReceipt and expected-receipt headers — one row per supplier ASN, receipt, or internal shipment, grouped by receipt source; carries the receipt number, supplier, and expected/shipped dates
The receiving org is SHIP_TO_ORG_ID (an inventory org; RECEIPT_NUM is unique only within it). An ORGANIZATION_ID column exists but holds the source-org context of internal shipments — this catalog deliberately does not anchor on it. ASN-only headers have a shipment number and no receipt number until goods arrive, so counting headers is not counting receipts.
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.
Structural facts — how the table is partitioned, not a trap by itself

15 fields.
| # | Field | Description | Type | Flags |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SHIPMENT_HEADER_ID | Surrogate key of the receipt/shipment header | NUMBER | Primary-key field |
| 2 | RECEIPT_SOURCE_CODE | Where the receipt came from — supplier, internal order, or customer return; sources never mix under one header | VARCHAR2 | |
| 3 | RECEIPT_NUM | The receipt number — unique only within the receiving org, and NULL on ASN-only headers until goods arrive | VARCHAR2 | |
| 4 | SHIPMENT_NUM | The supplier's shipment/ASN number — supplier-assigned, not unique | VARCHAR2 | |
| 5 | SHIP_TO_ORG_ID | The receiving INVENTORY org — this table's org filter (not an operating unit) | NUMBER | |
| 6 | VENDOR_ID | The supplier, for supplier-sourced receipts | NUMBER | |
| 7 | VENDOR_SITE_ID | The supplier site | NUMBER | |
| 8 | CUSTOMER_ID | The customer, for RMA (return) receipts | NUMBER | |
| 9 | SHIPPED_DATE | When the source shipped | DATE | |
| 10 | EXPECTED_RECEIPT_DATE | Expected arrival — the inbound-visibility date; the true receipt date lives on the RECEIVE transaction | DATE | The table's primary analysis date — a real DATE column, no conversion needed |
| 11 | BILL_OF_LADING | Bill of lading reference | VARCHAR2 | |
| 12 | PACKING_SLIP | Packing slip number | VARCHAR2 | |
| 13 | WAYBILL_AIRBILL_NUM | Carrier waybill/airbill number | VARCHAR2 | |
| 14 | FREIGHT_CARRIER_CODE | Freight carrier | VARCHAR2 | |
| 15 | ASN_TYPE | Ship notice kind — ASN vs ASBN (with billing) | VARCHAR2 |

Boilerplate SQL
Starting point for reading RCV_SHIPMENT_HEADERS 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 : RCV_SHIPMENT_HEADERS — Receipt and expected-receipt headers — one row per supplier ASN, receipt, or internal shipment, grouped by receipt source; carries the receipt number, supplier, and expected/shipped dates
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of RCV_SHIPMENT_HEADERS — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain : One row per SHIPMENT_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.
