Overview

APPS.BOM_IMPORT_PUB is the public PL/SQL package body that drives the open interface import of bills of material and routing data into Oracle E-Business Suite. It is the programmatic entry point for loading legacy or external manufacturing structures into the EBS base tables. The package operates on records staged in the BOM open interface tables (the _INTERFACE tables) plus batch and option-set metadata held in the EGO tables, validates and resolves those rows, and then writes the accepted data into the permanent BOM structures and component tables. The header comment identifies BULKLOAD_PVT_PKG.PROCESS_BOM_INTERFACE_LINES as a related worker, confirming a layered bulk-loading design.

The package is documented as a PUB (public) API and is referenced by four other packages, meaning it is intended for direct call by concurrent programs and custom integrations rather than being an internal helper. Its latest documented revision is a 120.94 label, consistent with a long-lived component present in both 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.

Key Procedures and Functions

The package exposes 32 documented procedures and functions. The principal groups are:

• Orchestration and row processing: PROCESS_STRUCTURE_DATA, IMPORT_STRUCTURE_DATA, IMPORT_INTERFACE_ROWS, and PRE_PROCESS_IMPORT_ROWS manage the end-to-end load, sequencing staging rows through validation and insertion. UPDATE_BILL_VAL_ID and UPDATE_CONFIRMED_ITEMS reconcile identifiers and confirmation state.
• Cross-reference and matching: RESOLVE_XREFS_FOR_BATCH (created early in the package history, per the source header), UPDATE_MATCH_DATA, and MATCHING_COMPLETE handle resolution of incoming codes to internal IDs and report on matching outcome.
• Bill and component maintenance: UPDATE_BILL_INFO, BOM_GET_COMP_ATTR_DATA, UPDATE_USER_ATTR_DATA, and CHECK_CHANGE_OPTIONS support attribute retrieval, user-defined attribute handling, and change-option validation.
• Reference designators and confirmation: GET_REF_DESGS and PROPAGATE_CONFIRMATION_STATUS manage designator retrieval and status propagation; DATA_UPLOAD_COMPLETE signals upload completion.
• Utility accessors: GET_G_MISS_NUM, GET_G_MISS_CHAR, GET_G_MISS_DATE, and GET_PRIMARY_STRUCTURENAME expose module-level state, while Init_Debug initializes file-based debugging using utl_file_dir from V$PARAMETER.

Tables Accessed

The package reads and writes through APPS synonyms. The interface tables are the working set: BOM_BILL_OF_MTLS_INTERFACE, BOM_COMPONENT_OPS_INTERFACE, BOM_INVENTORY_COMPS_INTERFACE, BOM_OP_NETWORKS_INTERFACE, BOM_OP_RESOURCES_INTERFACE, BOM_OP_ROUTINGS_INTERFACE, BOM_OP_SEQUENCES_INTERFACE, BOM_CMP_USR_ATTR_INTERFACE, and BOM_REF_DESGS_INTERFACE. The destination base tables are BOM_STRUCTURES_B, BOM_COMPONENTS_B, BOM_COMPONENTS_EXT_B, and BOM_REFERENCE_DESIGNATORS. Batch control uses EGO_IMPORT_BATCHES_B and EGO_IMPORT_OPTION_SETS, which govern batch identity and processing options. Debug tracing relies on V$PARAMETER.

Usage Notes

BOM_IMPORT_PUB is normally invoked from the Bill of Material open interface concurrent program, which loads staging rows and then calls this package to validate and post them. It may also be called directly from custom PL/SQL after populating the BOM interface tables and an EGO import batch. Because the package spans interface, resolution, and posting logic, callers should populate all required interface tables and option sets before invocation, and should inspect confirmation status output produced through PROPAGATE_CONFIRMATION_STATUS and DATA_UPLOAD_COMPLETE to identify rejected rows.
