Overview

MRP_GET_LOCATION is a PL/SQL package owned by the APPS schema in Oracle E-Business Suite. Within the Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning and Oracle Manufacturing execution framework, it functions as a utility component used primarily by kanban-related views and concurrent processes. Its documented status is VALID, and it is classified under the ETRM schema as an OTHER API, indicating that it is not a public, supported integration interface but rather an internal helper package consumed by other Oracle application objects.

The package's central responsibility is to resolve and return location information required by kanban planning and comparison logic. Because kanban replenishment depends on correctly identifying the source and destination locations of items within a supply chain, a dedicated location-resolution routine is needed so that multiple dependent views and packages do not each re-implement the same lookup logic. MRP_GET_LOCATION centralizes this access.

Key Procedures and Functions

The documented package exposes one callable program unit:

  • LOCATION — The sole documented procedure or function in the package. Based on its name and its consumption by kanban views, it serves to retrieve or derive the location value associated with a given planning or kanban context, returning the location identifier that downstream logic requires.

No additional procedures or functions are documented in the ETRM metadata. Parameter lists for the LOCATION routine are not published in the available metadata and are therefore not reproduced here. The package body and specification are both present and valid, so the routine is callable at runtime.

Tables Accessed

The documented metadata does not enumerate specific base tables referenced through APPS synonyms. The package's declared dependency set is limited to SYS and STANDARD, which are standard Oracle database schema references rather than application tables. This suggests that MRP_GET_LOCATION relies primarily on PL/SQL built-ins and standard constructs, with any application data access occurring through indirect means or via objects not captured in the ETRM dependency listing. In practice, location resolution of this type typically draws on inventory organization and location master data, but the documented record does not confirm specific table names, so no tables are asserted here beyond what the metadata supports.

Usage Notes

MRP_GET_LOCATION is an internal package and is not intended for direct invocation by end users or external integrations. Its consumer set is well defined: it is referenced by four Oracle objects — FLM_KANBAN_CONFLICT_RES_V, MRP_KANBAN_COMPARISON_V, MRP_KANBAN_DEMAND_V, and MRP_KANBAN_DETAILS_V — and by itself. All four referencing objects are kanban-related views, which establishes the package's operating context firmly within kanban planning and conflict resolution.

Because these consumers are views, the package routine is most often invoked implicitly when the views are queried, for example by kanban inquiry forms, kanban concurrent programs, or the planning engine as it evaluates kanban demand and supply. Custom code that queries these seeded kanban views will therefore cause MRP_GET_LOCATION to execute as part of view resolution, even though the package is never called by name.

Given its OTHER API classification and its position beneath seeded views, the package should be treated as Oracle-internal. Customers and partners should not call MRP_GET_LOCATION directly or depend on its signature, as it carries no supported public interface and may change across releases. In Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 alike, the recommended approach is to consume the kanban views rather than the underlying helper package.
