CST_INQUIRY_TYPES stores item cost inquiry option information. This
information is used by the View Item Costs Summary window.
The INQUIRY_NAME column stores the option name. The
UNIQUE_ID column stores the unique identifier for INQUIRY_NAME.
For example, UNIQUE_ID ’13’ corresponds to the inquiry ’Element by
level.’ You can create user–defined inquiries by entering 1 in the
USER_DEFINED column. The UNIQUE_ID for user–defined inquiries
is determined by the sequence CST_INQUIRY_TYPES_S.
Each inquiry is associated with a template type
(GUI_TEMPLATE_TYPE). The template type determines which
columns are displayed in the View Item Costs Summary window. For
example, when an inquiry that is associated with the template type
’Single entity cost summary’ is selected, two columns are displayed.
However, when an inquiry that is associated with the template type
’Two entity cost summary’ is selected, three columns are displayed.
The actual column headings displayed in the View Item Costs Summary
window are determined by the exact inquiry selected. For example,
although both the ’Activity Summary’ and ’Element Summary’ inquiries
are associated with the two column ’Single entity cost summary’
template type, the column headings Activity and Description
(corresponding to GUI_COL2_PROMPT_BOTTOM and
GUI_DESC_PROMPT) are displayed when the former is chosen, while
the column headings Cost, Element, and Description (corresponding to
GUI_COL2_PROMPT_TOP, GUI_COL2_PROMPT_BOTTOM and
GUI_DESC_PROMPT) are displayed when the latter is chosen.
The VIEW_NAME column stores the view name that is used when the
View Item Cost Summary window copies queried cost information to
the CST_INQUIRY_TEMP table. Different views are used for different
inquiries. For example, if you choose ’Activity summary,’ the
VIEW_NAME is ’CST_ELEMENT_COST_VIEW.’
FLEXFIELD_APPLICATION_ID and DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXFI
ELD_NAME store the application identifier and descriptive flexfield
name for those inquiry options that display costs by flexfield segment
value and require the user to choose a flexfield segment. They are used
to retrieve segments for the flexfield.
INVENTORY_FLAG specifies whether this option is available in a
standalone inventory installation. Some of the detail options are not
