HZ_PARTIES
Product: HZmasterThe party master — one row per person, organization, or group in the trading community, with the party number, type, status, and a denormalized identifying address and primary contact point; the top of the four-layer customer model
Global — no BU, org, or set striping anywhere in the TCA party layer. PARTY_TYPE is Person/Organization/Group. The address and contact columns here are denormalized copies of the identifying address — the real address spine is party site → location. Suppliers resolve here too: the supplier master's PARTY_ID is where the supplier name lives (see quirks #tca-layers).
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.

Party data store — keyed on PartyId. Lives in the CX extract book under the CrmAnalyticsAM root (TCA is a CX-owned product family in Fusion).

Boilerplate SQL
Starting point for reading the BICC-landed copy of HZ_PARTIES 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.
4 parameters not filled: <catalog>, <schema>, <PARTY_ID>, <watermark>

-- Table : HZ_PARTIES — The party master — one row per person, organization, or group in the trading community, with the party number, type, status, and a denormalized identifying address and primary contact point; the top of the four-layer customer model
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of HZ_PARTIES — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain : One row per PARTY_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.

More Customers (TCA) tables
- HZ_PARTY_SITESParty sites — the link between a party and a location, carrying the site number, name, addressee, and mailstop; one party can have many sites and one location can serve many parties
- HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTSThe customer account — the commercial (selling) relationship layered on a party; one party can carry several accounts, each with its own account number, status, and type
- HZ_CUST_ACCT_SITES_ALLCustomer account sites — an account's use of a party site (address); the layer order and invoice addresses hang off, with bill-to/ship-to/market purpose flags
- HZ_CUST_SITE_USES_ALLSite uses — the business purposes (bill-to, ship-to, statements) assigned to each customer account site; the bottom TCA layer, and the id AR transactions actually point at
- HZ_LOCATIONSThe location master — the physical postal address itself (street, city, postal code, country, coordinates), shared by every party and account site that points at it
