Overview

JL_BR_AR_RET_INTER_V is an APPS-owned database view within the JL – Latin America Localizations product family, specifically associated with the Brazilian Accounts Receivable localization modules (JL_BR_AR). The view is documented as retrofitted, meaning it was introduced or re-pointed to align with the current data model while preserving the interface expected by dependent code. It is registered in the EBS data dictionary as a VALID object under the APPS schema in both 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.

The principal role of JL_BR_AR_RET_INTER_V is to expose a deduplicated list of bank return file identifiers processed by Brazilian AR remittance and return interfaces. It presents the distinct combination of bank number and file control values found in the underlying return interface staging table. In reporting and integration terms, this view acts as a lightweight lookup: it allows concurrent programs, reports, and reconciliation screens to enumerate which bank files have been loaded into the return interface without scanning full transaction-level detail. Because it performs a distinct projection over only two columns, it is inexpensive to query and is well suited to dependent value sets, LOV definitions, and status validation logic in the Brazilian AR return workflow.

Underlying Base Objects

Per the ETRM 12.2.2 metadata, the view references a single base object: JL_BR_AR_RET_INTERFACE, exposed to APPS through a synonym. JL_BR_AR_RET_INTERFACE is the Brazilian AR bank return interface staging table, which receives records from the bank return file import process before validation and transfer into the permanent receipt and returns tables.

The view is defined by a simple SELECT DISTINCT over that table, selecting BANK_NUMBER and FILE_CONTROL. No joins, filters, or analytic functions are applied. Consequently, every row in the view corresponds to at least one row in the interface table; the view contains no data of its own and reflects the interface table contents at query time. Because it is a view rather than a synonym or table, it cannot be updated directly, and any DML must target the underlying interface table. Formally, the view is defined as:

• SELECT DISTINCT BANK_NUMBER, FILE_CONTROL FROM JL_BR_AR_RET_INTERFACE;
• Owner: APPS
• Referenced base object: JL_BR_AR_RET_INTERFACE (SYNONYM)

Key Columns

The view exposes exactly two columns, both inherited from the base interface table:

• BANK_NUMBER – The identifier of the bank associated with the return file, as represented in the Brazilian AR return interface. It distinguishes files originating from different financial institutions and is commonly used in conjunction with the file control value to uniquely identify a loaded file.
• FILE_CONTROL – The control value assigned to the bank return file, typically the file sequence, header or trailer control, or generated identifier used by the interface process to group records belonging to one physical file.

Together, BANK_NUMBER plus FILE_CONTROL form a logical composite key for the distinct records returned by the view. No timestamps, status codes, amounts, or customer attributes are exposed; any such detail must be obtained from the underlying interface table or from the consolidated receipt and return tables after processing.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical use cases include enumerating files available for return processing, populating a bank/file selection list on a custom concurrent program or OAF page, confirming that a specific bank return file was loaded, and performing pre-transfer reconciliation before running the Brazilian AR return transfer process. A simple query to list all distinct bank return files is:

• SELECT BANK_NUMBER, FILE_CONTROL FROM APPS.JL_BR_AR_RET_INTER_V ORDER BY BANK_NUMBER, FILE_CONTROL;
• SELECT FILE_CONTROL FROM APPS.JL_BR_AR_RET_INTER_V WHERE BANK_NUMBER = :p_bank_number;
• SELECT COUNT(*) FROM APPS.JL_BR_AR_RET_INTER_V WHERE BANK_NUMBER = :p_bank_number AND FILE_CONTROL = :p_file_control;

Because the view is built on SELECT DISTINCT, developers should avoid adding joins to the base interface table when the goal is purely file-level enumeration, as this reintroduces duplicate rows. Access is governed by APPS grants and any custom responsibilities defined in the environment; standard EBS security still applies through the owning schema.
