Overview

APPS.HR_ROUTES is a PL/SQL package in the Oracle E-Business Suite HR (Human Resources) module. Despite the "ROUTES" naming convention—which users often confuse with routing, travel, or roadway-related functionality—this object belongs to the Oracle HR schema family and follows the standard hr_routes package naming pattern used across HR, Payroll, and related Oracle Applications modules. Its header comment references the source file pyroutes.pkh, which places the package within the Oracle Payroll/HR schema build lineage. The AUTHID CURRENT_USER pragma indicates that the package executes with the privileges of the invoking user rather than the owner, a common convention for packages that must respect the caller's security context.

In the context of the Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 releases, HR_ROUTES appears in the ETRM (E-Business Suite Technical Reference Manual) metadata with an API classification of OTHER, meaning it is not a documented public API. The search phrase "best roadways no for employees" reflects a common and understandable misinterpretation: the term "ROUTES" in the package name has no relationship to roads, travel routing, or employee transport. The package is an internal HR/Payroll construct with no documented business-facing roadway function.

Key Procedures and Functions

According to the ETRM metadata for release 12.2.2, HR_ROUTES contains zero documented procedures or functions. The extracted source excerpt shows only the package specification skeleton:

  • Package declaration line: PACKAGE hr_routes AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS
  • Header comment identifying the source file and version (pyroutes.pkh 120.2, dated 2005/07/06)
  • Immediate END hr_routes; with no intervening subprogram declarations

The absence of any declarations between the AS and END keywords confirms that the specification exposes no callable procedures or functions to external callers. No parameter lists can be documented, and none should be assumed. Any internal logic, if present, would reside in the package body rather than the specification, but the ETRM record documents no body-level subprograms either.

Tables Accessed

The ETRM metadata records no tables referenced via APPS synonyms for HR_ROUTES. Because the specification contains no subprograms, there is no documented DML or query activity against HR, Payroll, or any other EBS base tables. Additionally, the metadata notes that HR_ROUTES is referenced by zero other packages, indicating it is not a dependency for other documented PL/SQL objects in the 12.2.2 code base.

Where a routes package would ordinarily be expected to touch tables such as HR_ROUTE definitions or assignment-level routing data, no such table relationships are documented here, and none should be inferred.

Usage Notes

Given the documented state of HR_ROUTES in both 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, the following usage guidance applies:

  • Not a public API. With an API classification of OTHER and zero exposed subprograms, HR_ROUTES should not be invoked from custom forms, concurrent programs, or custom PL/SQL code.
  • Not a roadway or transport object. The name does not correspond to employee commuter, logistics, or travel routing functionality. Users searching for "roadways" numbers or route information for employees will not find that capability in this package.
  • Internal or reserved object. The empty specification suggests a placeholder, deprecation artifact, or reserved namespace name. Rely on supported HR/Payroll APIs for employee data instead.
  • No upgrade impact. Since no documented objects depend on HR_ROUTES, changes to it should not affect documented 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 functionality.
