Overview

INV_UI_TASK_LOVS is an Oracle E-Business Suite PL/SQL package body owned by the APPS schema. Its name reflects its role: it supplies List of Values (LOV) queries for task-oriented mobile and desktop user interfaces within Oracle Inventory. In the EBS architecture, packages with the INV_UI_ prefix typically back the Inventory mobile/Web UI pages used by warehouse personnel to execute receiving, cycle counting, physical inventory, move order, and material transaction tasks. The package encapsulates the SQL used to populate LOV selection windows so that the application tier can present valid, filtered lists of tasks, documents, and entities to the end user without embedding that SQL inside individual Oracle Forms or OAF pages.

INV_UI_TASK_LOVS is a VALID object and is classified as OTHER in the API taxonomy, meaning it is an internal UI-support package rather than a public, documented integration API. It is not referenced by any other database object, confirming that it is a leaf-level utility invoked only by application-layer components.

Key Procedures and Functions

The ETRM metadata documents five procedures or functions in this package. Their names indicate the task family each LOV serves:

  • GET_TASKS — the general-purpose LOV routine, returning the core list of inventory tasks available to the user.
  • GET_MO_TASKS — returns move order related tasks, sourced from material transaction request lines.
  • GET_CC_TASKS — returns cycle count tasks, sourced from cycle count entries.
  • GET_PHY_TASKS — returns physical inventory tasks, sourced from physical inventory tags.
  • GET_RCV_TASKS — returns receiving tasks, sourced from receiving shipment lines.

Each routine is a query-oriented helper that assembles the candidate task rows for its respective business process. Parameter lists are not published in the ETRM extract and should not be assumed; callers are expected to consult the packaged specification (INV_UI_TASK_LOVS) or the source in the APPS schema before invoking them programmatically.

Tables Accessed

The package reads from a broad set of inventory, purchasing, order management, and warehouse management tables through APPS synonyms. Documented referenced tables include:

The package additionally depends on FND_PROFILE for profile option lookups, INV_MOBILE_HELPER_FUNCTIONS for shared mobile utilities, and the STANDARD package for standard EBS utilities.

Usage Notes

INV_UI_TASK_LOVS is invoked from the Inventory mobile and Web UI layers, where it populates LOV windows presented to warehouse operators. Because it is not referenced by any database object and exposes no documented public API, customizations should not call it directly unless the calling code is prepared to track Oracle’s internal implementation, which may change between 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. For extensions requiring similar LOV behavior, Oracle recommends using documented public APIs and views rather than these internal UI helpers. When troubleshooting LOV behavior—missing tasks, empty lists, or performance issues—verify profile option settings via FND_PROFILE, confirm the underlying transactional tables contain the expected rows, and check that the object remains VALID after patching. No concurrent program or form is documented as a direct caller, confirming its role as an embedded UI utility rather than a standalone executable.
