CST_COST_BOOKS_B
Product: CSTcontrolThe cost book master — book codes that attach to cost organizations to give multiple parallel cost representations of the same operations
Deliberately thin: names live on the translation companion (not yet cataloged), and everything operational about a book — ledger, currency, calendar — lives on the org-book association.
What the badges mean
- Product: EGP
- Product: the Oracle product family that owns the object — the short code Oracle's Tables and Views documentation lists as the object owner. Fusion is SaaS, so this isn't a database schema; there's no SQL path to the tables at all (see the quirks guide).
- master
- Data class: what the table holds — master data, transaction documents, control/configuration, interface/staging, or a documented view.
- BU-striped (ORG_ID)
- Rows are scoped to a business unit. The column is still named
ORG_ID, but in Fusion it means business unit, not the EBS operating unit — treat any migrated “operating unit” filter as suspect (see the quirks guide). - Per inventory org
- Rows are scoped to an inventory organization via
ORGANIZATION_ID— always pair it withINVENTORY_ITEM_IDon item-level joins (see the quirks guide). - Set / ledger / named-BU striped
- Some tables stripe by a named column instead of
ORG_ID: reference data set (SET_ID— see the quirks guide), ledger (LEDGER_IDon the GL journal tables), or a named business-unit column (PRC_BU_ID/REQ_BU_IDin procurement). The table page’s partition line names the column, and the generated SQL anchors on it — never treat these tables as unpartitioned. - 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. - Date-effective
- This is an
_Ftable — one row per entity per effectivity window, withEFFECTIVE_START_DATEandEFFECTIVE_END_DATEpart of the key. Join without a window filter and every fact multiplies by history (see the quirks guide). - View
- This is a documented convenience view, not a physical table. Extract through the BICC data store that fronts its base objects instead of assuming the view lands as-is.

Extract access
The delivered surfaces that reach this table — the BICC extract data store (PVO) for bulk extraction and the OTBI subject areas for real-time queries. There is no SQL path to the SaaS database.
- FscmTopModelAM.ScmExtractAM.CstBiccExtractAM.CostBookExtractPVO
Cost Books data store — keyed on CostBookId. In OTBI the cost book is a dimension across the costing subject areas.

Boilerplate SQL
Starting point for reading the BICC-landed copy of CST_COST_BOOKS_B on Databricks — real DATE columns need no conversion, and the org anchor and the LAST_UPDATE_DATE watermark (the column incremental BICC extracts key on) are already in place. Set your Unity Catalog location, schema, and org values below; they’re substituted into the SQL and the copy button.

-- ============================================================
-- Table : CST_COST_BOOKS_B — The cost book master — book codes that attach to cost organizations to give multiple parallel cost representations of the same operations
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of CST_COST_BOOKS_B — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain : One row per COST_BOOK_ID
-- Notes : Auto-generated skeleton for Oracle Fusion Cloud data landed in your lakehouse by a BICC extract — there is no SQL path to the SaaS database. Column names follow Oracle's table documentation — if your landed data still carries PVO attribute headers, map names first; see quirks #pvo-drift. 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.

- CST_COST_DISTRIBUTION_LINESThe debit and credit lines under each cost distribution — per cost element, with entered and ledger amounts and both the user-entered and final SLA-derived GL accounts
- CST_COST_DISTRIBUTIONSCost distribution headers — one per costed transaction event, carrying the cost org/book, item, event class, GL date, and accounting state ahead of subledger accounting
- CST_COST_ELEMENTS_BThe cost element master — the buckets (material, overhead, and so on) item cost decomposes into, striped by reference data set
- CST_COST_ELEMENTS_TLThe cost element master's translation companion — per-language element descriptions
- CST_COST_INV_ORGSThe cost-org to inventory-org bridge — which cost organization costs each inventory org, with dated validity; an inventory org belongs to exactly one cost org
- CST_COST_ORG_BOOKSThe cost org + book association — the working grain of Fusion costing, carrying the ledger, currency, calendar, and whether accounting is created for the combination
