Overview

AMS_CLAIM_INSTALL is a PL/SQL package owned by the APPS schema in Oracle E-Business Suite, classified under the Oracle Marketing (AMS) module family. Its name and documented procedures indicate that it supports the claims management functionality within Oracle Marketing, specifically handling the calculation and verification of installment-based claim amounts associated with trade promotion and channel management activities. In Oracle EBS, "claims" generally refer to accrual or deduction requests submitted by channel partners, distributors, or internal users against promotional funds. The term "install" in the package name denotes installment processing or the installed-status verification of claim components rather than software installation. The package consolidates logic used to determine whether a claim or claim line has been fully processed and to compute the residual amount owed after prior disbursements or settlements.

Key Procedures and Functions

The ETRM documentation records two callable program units within this package. No parameter lists are published, and no signatures should be assumed.

  • CHECK_INSTALLED — This procedure or function verifies the installed or completed state of a claim record or claim line. It is typically used to determine whether a given claim has already been processed, settled, or recognized, guarding subsequent update or insert operations against duplicate processing.
  • GET_AMOUNT_REMAINING — As the name implies, this function returns the outstanding or residual balance of a claim after accounting for amounts already paid, accrued, or offset. It supports downstream calculations in claim settlement, payment scheduling, and reconciliation workflows.

Both units operate against APPS-owned data structures and are exposed to callers within the EBS application schema.

Tables Accessed

The ETRM metadata does not enumerate specific base tables referenced by AMS_CLAIM_INSTALL, and no APPS synonym table list was returned in the excerpt. Based on package naming conventions and the Oracle Marketing data model, the underlying logic would ordinarily operate against claim-related tables such as AMS_CLAIM_HEADERS, AMS_CLAIM_LINES, and related installment or payment allocation tables. Because the documented dependency list shows only SYS.STANDARD as a referenced object, the package body may be largely self-contained or operate through dynamic SQL against APPS synonyms. Implementers should verify the actual table references by querying ALL_DEPENDENCIES and the package body in the target instance before relying on assumptions.

Usage Notes

Packages of this class are not typically invoked directly by end users. Instead, they are called from Oracle Forms-based claim entry and settlement screens, from concurrent programs that batch-process claim accruals and payments, or from custom PL/SQL extensions that integrate with the Oracle Marketing claims workflow. The absence of inbound dependencies (the package is referenced by zero other packages) suggests it is a leaf-level utility rather than a shared library consumed across modules. As a result, customizations that depend on AMS_CLAIM_INSTALL should be scoped carefully, and any direct calls should account for the possibility of signature changes across patch levels. Both Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 maintain this package as VALID, and it should be treated as Oracle-owned code that must not be modified without an approved customization strategy and the corresponding patch-impact review.
