Overview

The APPS.CSP_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS_PUB package body is the public application programming interface for managing packing, serial number, and lot number information within Oracle E-Business Suite. It belongs to the CSP (Consigned/Spares and Procurement, associated with Depot Repair and field service logistics) module family and is classified as a PUB package. In Oracle EBS architecture, the _PUB suffix indicates that the package exposes a stable, supported interface intended for external invocation, while the actual business logic is delegated to the corresponding private package CSP_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS_PVT.

The package enables applications and integrators to create, maintain, retrieve, and remove records that associate packaging hierarchies with serial-controlled and lot-controlled inventory items. This functionality is essential in Oracle Depot Repair and field service flows, where items are frequently repackaged, tracked by serial number or lot, and reconciled across receiving, repair, and shipment operations.

Key Procedures and Functions

The ETRM documentation lists four public procedures or functions, each forming part of the standard CRUD surface of the API.

  • CREATE_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS — Establishes a new packing, serial, or lot association record. It is the entry point for introducing new packaging-to-serial/lot relationships into the system.
  • UPDATE_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS — Modifies an existing association, allowing attributes of a previously created packing, serial, or lot record to be changed.
  • DELETE_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS — Removes an existing association from the system, typically used when a packing configuration is dissolved or a serial/lot linkage is no longer valid.
  • GET_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS — Retrieves existing records, returning packing, serial, and lot information for consumption by calling programs or user interfaces.

As a standard Oracle EBS PL/SQL API, these procedures follow the FND_API conventions, meaning they accept a standard API parameter structure and return a transaction status along with error messages through FND_MSG_PUB. Parameter lists are not enumerated here because the metadata does not document them; only their functional purpose is described.

Tables Accessed

The documented ETRM metadata does not enumerate the specific base tables referenced by this package via APPS synonyms. The dependency listing identifies only PL/SQL-level dependencies, specifically CSP_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS_PVT, FND_API, FND_MSG_PUB, and JTF_PLSQL_API. Accordingly, the package is known to operate against the CSP packing/serial/lot data model, with actual DML performed in the private package layer. The public package primarily orchestrates validation, message handling, and delegation.

Usage Notes

This package is typically invoked from Oracle Forms, concurrent programs, or custom PL/SQL integration code that needs to manage packing, serial number, and lot associations in a supported manner. Because it is a public API, callers should use CSP_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS_PUB rather than calling the private CSP_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS_PVT package directly. Callers must initialize the FND message stack and check the returned transaction status after each invocation.

The dependency metadata confirms that this package references CSP_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS_PUB, CSP_PACK_SERIAL_LOTS_PVT, FND_API, FND_MSG_PUB, and JTF_PLSQL_API, and is itself referenced by one other database object. No object in the schema depends on the package body itself, which is expected since package bodies are implementation artifacts.
