Overview

ARP_CONSINV is a PL/SQL package owned by the APPS schema in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It is classified in the ETRM repository as an "OTHER" type API. Its core business function relates to Consolidated Invoicing (sometimes referred to as consolidated billing) within Oracle Receivables. Consolidated invoicing allows a single customer bill-to or bill-to site to receive one consolidated invoice that summarizes multiple transactions originating from different ship-to sites or underlying customer accounts within the same business hierarchy. ARP_CONSINV serves as the server-side engine that supports data retrieval, validation, and reporting activities associated with the AR_CONS_INV consolidated invoicing data model. The package is documented as VALID and depends on the SYS schema and the Oracle STANDARD package. It has no subobjects listed and, according to the ETRM metadata, is referenced by no other packages, though its own internal references are self-contained.

Key Procedures and Functions

The ETRM metadata documents two procedures/functions for this package, both identified by the classification REPORT. The metadata names the documented interface as REPORT, reflecting a reporting-oriented routine used to support consolidated invoice generation or presentation. In practice, ARP_CONSINV exposes entry points that enable the Receivables module to assemble consolidated invoice information from the underlying consolidated invoice tables and to present it either through concurrent program output or through a user-facing reporting mechanism. Because the ETRM excerpt enumerates procedures only by name (REPORT) without parameter lists, no signature details are asserted here. Callers should treat the package as a reporting utility whose routines are invoked in the context of consolidated invoice processing rather than as a transaction-generating API. No public documented parameters are published, and custom code should always reference the package through the APPS synonym.

Tables Accessed

The package references a broad set of Receivables and Trading Community tables via APPS synonyms. The consolidated invoice family — AR_CONS_INV, AR_CONS_INV_ALL, AR_CONS_INV_S, AR_CONS_INV_TRX, and AR_CONS_INV_TRX_LINES — constitutes the primary data source, holding consolidated invoice headers, transaction associations, and line-level detail. RA_CUSTOMER_TRX and RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_LINES provide the underlying transactions and lines that are summarized onto the consolidated invoice. AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES and AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS supply payment terms and application information so that amounts are presented accurately. AR_CASH_RECEIPTS and AR_ADJUSTMENTS contribute receipt and adjustment activity linked to the underlying transactions. AR_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS supplies Receivables system-level configuration and profile defaults. HZ_CUST_ACCT_SITES, HZ_CUST_SITE_USES, and HZ_CUSTOMER_PROFILES provide the customer, site, and profile information needed to resolve billing hierarchies and site usage context. Together these tables allow the package to reconcile consolidated invoice content against the transactional base.

Usage Notes

ARP_CONSINV is typically invoked in the context of the Consolidated Billing Invoices functionality in Oracle Receivables, commonly triggered from the Receivables concurrent program framework or from related forms during consolidated invoice generation and review. Because it is an "OTHER"-classified API with no documented public interface beyond the REPORT routine, it should not be treated as a fully supported inbound integration API. Custom development that needs to reference this package should call it through the APPS synonym only, and must account for the possibility that internal signatures may change across patches. Application developers are advised to prefer supported Receivables public APIs and concurrent programs for consolidated invoicing and to use ARP_CONSINV primarily for diagnostic, reporting, or extension purposes. As with all APPS packages, the schema should never be accessed directly outside the APPS synonym layer.
