Overview

FV_IPAC_TRANSACTIONS_SUMM_PKG is an Oracle E-Business Suite PL/SQL package owned by the APPS schema and classified under the Federal Financials (FV) product family. It supports the Intra-Governmental Payment and Collection (IPAC) subsystem, which is used by U.S. federal agencies to settle inter-agency transactions through the Treasury's IPAC mechanism. The package encapsulates the data-maintenance layer for IPAC transaction summary records, providing the procedural interface through which the IPAC transaction summary entity is inserted, modified, deleted, and locked. In the ETRM documentation context for release 12.2.2, the package is recorded with a status of VALID and is classified as an OTHER API type rather than as a public integration API.

The package sits beneath the IPAC transaction-related forms and processing logic in Federal Financials, and its dependency footprint (referencing only SYS.STANDARD) indicates that it is a fairly self-contained DML wrapper. It does not reference other APPS packages, and the ETRM metadata records zero dependent packages, meaning it functions as a leaf-level persistence component within the IPAC transaction summary flow.

Key Procedures and Functions

The documented package exposes four procedures. Their names follow the standard Oracle Forms-generated table-handler naming convention, indicating that the package was designed to back a Forms block or an equivalent DML operation on the IPAC transaction summary table.

  • INSERT_ROW — Creates a new IPAC transaction summary record in the underlying table. It is invoked when a new transaction summary entry is added through the maintenance interface or an upstream process.
  • UPDATE_ROW — Modifies an existing IPAC transaction summary record, applying changed column values to the stored row. It is invoked when an existing summary transaction is amended.
  • DELETE_ROW — Removes an IPAC transaction summary record from the underlying table. It supports the deletion path for summary transactions that are no longer required.
  • LOCK_ROW — Acquires a row-level lock on an existing IPAC transaction summary record, providing the concurrency control required before an update or delete is performed.

The metadata does not document parameter lists for these procedures, and no parameter details should be assumed. Each procedure is a discrete CRUD operation rather than a business-level transaction processor; orchestration and validation reside elsewhere in the IPAC call stack.

Tables Accessed

The ETRM metadata records references to the following tables through APPS synonyms:

  • FV_IPAC_TRX — The IPAC transaction table, which holds the primary IPAC transaction records. The summary maintenance procedures operate against this table as the central data store for the transaction entity.
  • FV_IPAC_BILLING_ID_S — The sequence object used to generate billing identifier values for IPAC records. It supplies unique key values when new transaction summary rows are inserted.
  • DUAL — The standard Oracle single-row utility table, typically used for sequence retrieval or lightweight value evaluation within the package logic.

These three references confirm that the package is focused on maintaining IPAC transaction summary data (FV_IPAC_TRX) with sequence-driven key generation (FV_IPAC_BILLING_ID_S), a pattern consistent with an Oracle Forms-maintained entity.

Usage Notes

The package is typically invoked from the Federal Financials IPAC maintenance forms during end-user create, update, and delete actions, and from concurrent programs or custom code that need to programmatically maintain IPAC transaction summary rows. Because it is classified as OTHER rather than as a public API, it should be treated as an internal implementation package: direct calls from custom code are possible but are not supported as a stable integration surface, and customizations should prefer documented public APIs where available. In upgrade or patching scenarios on 12.1.1 or 12.2.2, the package’s VALID status and minimal dependency profile mean it requires no additional object validation beyond standard compilation. Developers should verify parameter signatures against the deployed package specification in their specific instance, since the ETRM excerpt documents procedure names and purpose but not parameter lists.
