Search Results expiration_event_code

Overview

AR_LINE_DEFERRAL_REASONS_V is a Release 12 (12.1.1 and 12.2.2) Oracle E-Business Suite Receivables view owned by the APPS schema. It joins customer transaction line deferral contingencies to the deferral reason definitions that govern them, exposing both the raw code values and their translated lookup meanings. The view is a reporting and integration access point for revenue recognition deferral data: it presents, for each transaction line carrying a contingency, the associated deferral reason, expiration event, and revenue recognition event. The view is documented as Release 12 only and reflects the Revenue Recognition and deferred revenue accounting model introduced with that release.

The recurring search term expiration_event_meaning corresponds directly to the EXPIRATION_EVENT_MEANING column exposed by this view. That column is not stored; it is derived at query time by a call to ARPT_SQL_FUNC_UTIL.GET_LOOKUP_MEANING using the AR_EXPIRATION_EVENTS lookup type. This means consumers searching for the human-readable expiration event description must query this view rather than the underlying AR_LINE_CONTS or AR_DEFERRAL_REASONS tables.

Underlying Base Objects

The view is defined over a join of four base data sources, with two packages supplying derived and bind values:

• RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_LINES_ALL (as CTL) — the transaction line driving the join on CUSTOMER_TRX_LINE_ID and ORG_ID.
• AR_LINE_CONTS (as LC) — the line-level deferral contingency record, providing CUSTOMER_TRX_LINE_ID, CONTINGENCY_ID, expiration and completion attributes, and Org context.
• AR_DEFERRAL_REASONS (as DR) — the deferral reason definition, joined by CONTINGENCY_ID in an outer join (DR.CONTINGENCY_ID(+) ), supplying name, description, notes, event codes, and reason effective dates.
• MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES (as MIC) — outer-joined on INVENTORY_ITEM_ID, filtered to the category set and inventory organization resolved by AR_REVENUE_ADJUSTMENT_PVT.CATEGORY_SET_ID and AR_REVENUE_ADJUSTMENT_PVT.INV_ORG_ID.
• ARPT_SQL_FUNC_UTIL — supplies GET_LOOKUP_MEANING for the two lookup-derived meaning columns.
• AR_REVENUE_ADJUSTMENT_PVT — supplies the category set and inventory organization identifiers used to constrain MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES.

Because the reason join is an outer join, lines may survive without a matching deferral reason; the meaning columns will then be null.

Key Columns

• CUSTOMER_TRX_LINE_ID, CUSTOMER_TRX_ID, LINE_NUMBER — identify the transaction and its line.
• CONTINGENCY_ID, CONTINGENCY_NAME, DESCRIPTION, NOTES — the deferral reason/contingency definition.
• EXPIRATION_EVENT_CODE / EXPIRATION_EVENT_MEANING — the coded event and its AR_EXPIRATION_EVENTS lookup meaning, the latter derived at runtime.
• EXPIRATION_DATE, EXPIRATION_DAYS, EXPIRATION_EVENT_DATE — expiration scheduling attributes.
• REVREC_EVENT_CODE / REVREC_EVENT_MEANING — the revenue recognition event code and its AR_REVREC_EVENTS lookup meaning.
• COMPLETED_FLAG, COMPLETED_BY, REASON_REMOVAL_DATE — completion and removal state of the contingency.
• POLICY_ATTACHED, START_DATE, END_DATE — deferral policy binding and reason validity window.
• INVENTORY_ITEM_ID, CATEGORY_ID, ORG_ID — item, category, and operating unit context.
• ROW_ID — the ROWID of the AR_LINE_CONTS row.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical uses include reporting deferred revenue by line, auditing expiration events, validating contingency completion, and integration extracts that need translated lookup meanings rather than codes. The following query retrieves deferral reasons and expiration event meanings for a given transaction:

• SELECT line_number, contingency_name, expiration_event_code, expiration_event_meaning, expiration_date, completed_flag FROM ar_line_deferral_reasons_v WHERE customer_trx_id = :trx_id;
• SELECT customer_trx_line_id, contingency_id, expiration_event_date FROM ar_line_deferral_reasons_v WHERE expiration_event_meaning = 'Invoice';
• SELECT org_id, COUNT(*) FROM ar_line_deferral_reasons_v WHERE policy_attached = 'Y' GROUP BY org_id;

Queries should apply ORG_ID predicates for multi-org security and note that the meaning columns invoke PL/SQL callouts, which can affect performance on large result sets.
