Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Foundation Tables

This post is simply a list of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Foundation tables. The Foundation
tables contain data that relate to the entire suite of applications – they are not specific to any one
module.

Some foundation tables are used in Oracle BI Applications (OBIA), for example, the FND_USER,
FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS, and FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL tables are used in security-related Initialization
Blocks.
