Overview

CZ_APC_GRP is a PL/SQL package owned by the APPS schema in Oracle E-Business Suite, classified under the ETRM (E-Business Suite Technical Reference Manual) as a GRP-type API. The "GRP" classification denotes a group or utility package rather than a business-object API, meaning it is not tied to a specific transactional entity but instead exposes reusable logic consumed by other components within the same module. In EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 the package is documented with a VALID status, confirming it is a supported, compiled object in the shipping product.

The package sits within the configuration or product-information area of the application stack (the "CZ" prefix is associated with Oracle's configuration and product-definition modules, including Advanced Product Catalog and related EGO-based extensibility frameworks). Its principal documented role is to provide a membership or support-check service that determines whether a given context is supported by CZ functionality.

Key Procedures and Functions

• IS_SUPPORTED_BY_CZ — the single documented program unit in the package. It is a boolean-style predicate that returns an indication of whether the calling context is recognized and supported by the CZ configuration framework. Internal consumers use this function to gate behavior: when the check returns true, CZ-specific processing is permitted; when false, callers fall back to generic behavior. Consistent with the GRP classification, this routine is intended for internal consumption by sibling packages rather than direct invocation by end users.

No parameter lists are recorded in the ETRM metadata, and none are inferred here. The dependency listing confirms the package references APPS.EGO_EXT_FWK_PUB and the SYS.STANDARD package, the latter being the standard PL/SQL package that defines fundamental data types such as BOOLEAN, which is typically required when a function returns a Boolean value.

Tables Accessed

The documented metadata records no direct table references for CZ_APC_GRP. This absence is significant: the package does not perform DML against application tables, nor does it query base tables through APPS synonyms. Any data it requires is obtained either through the EGO_EXT_FWK_PUB dependency or from parameters supplied by callers. Because of this, CZ_APC_GRP is functionally a stateless logic unit whose impact on the database is confined to the execution of its predicate, not to row-level data changes. Administrators should therefore expect no table-level locking or transactional side effects from this package.

Usage Notes

• The package is referenced by other APPS objects, most notably a package of the same name (CZ_APC_GRP), indicating that the specification is consumed internally by its own body and by related CZ module code.
• It is not referenced by any external package according to the documented dependency list, so direct calls from custom code are unusual and should be treated as unsupported.
• Typical invocation occurs implicitly through product configuration flows, catalog or extensibility processing, and any CZ feature that must first verify framework support before proceeding.
• Because no public API entry points are documented beyond IS_SUPPORTED_BY_CZ, developers should not build dependencies on internal behavior. Any validation of the package's runtime behavior in 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 should be performed through supported diagnostics rather than by direct execution.

In summary, CZ_APC_GRP is a small, dependency-light GRP package whose documented purpose is to answer a support question for the CZ configuration framework. It carries no table dependencies and exposes one predicate, making it a low-risk but internally significant component of the APPS code base.
