Overview

The APPS.OE_LINE_SCREDIT_UTIL package body is a utility package within the Oracle Order Management (OM) module of Oracle E-Business Suite. Its business function is to manage sales credit assignments at the order line level. Sales credits allocate revenue or quota credit to one or more sales representatives associated with a line on a sales order. This package provides the programmatic infrastructure for creating, maintaining, and validating those line-level sales credit records throughout the order lifecycle, from initial booking through change order processing.

The package is classified as a UTIL (utility) API in ETRM, meaning it is intended primarily for internal use by other Order Management packages and engine components rather than as a public, externally supported interface. It exposes 19 documented procedures and functions and references three primary base tables. Consistent with Oracle OM's internal architecture, the package relies heavily on the OE rowtype/API conversion idiom, providing the standard plumbing required to translate between database rows and the PL/SQL record structures used by the public order APIs.

Key Procedures and Functions

The documented routines fall into several functional groups:

Tables Accessed

  • OE_SALES_CREDITS — the primary transactional table storing sales credit assignments for both headers and lines. This package inserts, updates, and deletes line-level rows here.
  • OE_SALES_CREDIT_HISTORY — the audit/history table capturing prior versions of sales credit records, written when credits are changed or superseded during change order processing.
  • OE_SALES_CREDIT_TYPES — the setup table defining valid sales credit types (for example, quota or revenue credit categories). This package reads it for validation and defaulting.
  • PLITBLM — the Oracle-supplied PL/SQL table API used for bulk collection handling within the utility logic.

The package also references the OE_AK_LINE_SCREDITS_V view, which exposes the sales credit data in the multi-language or forms-friendly format, and depends on companion utilities such as OE_HEADER_SCREDIT_UTIL for header-level credit handling.

Usage Notes

OE_LINE_SCREDIT_UTIL is invoked internally by core Order Management packages rather than being called directly by end users or typical custom integrations. Its dependency list shows direct references from OE_ORDER_PUB, OE_ORDER_PVT, OE_CHG_ORDER_PVT, and OE_HEADER_SCREDIT_UTIL, confirming it sits behind the public order APIs and the change order engine. It is referenced by 15 other packages in total.

Typical invocation contexts include the Sales Orders form (order entry, line-level Sales Credits tab), the Order Management change order workflow, delayed request processing, and order import or validation routines that populate sales credits programmatically. It relies on the standard OM toolkit — FND_API, FND_MESSAGE, FND_MSG_PUB, OE_MSG_PUB, and OE_DEBUG_PUB — for API return status, message publishing, and debug logging, so callers should follow the standard OM API error-handling pattern of inspecting the returned status and message list.

The package is not referenced by any database object outside this set, underlining its role as a private implementation helper. It is not an entry point for direct custom development; customizations requiring sales credit manipulation should use the supported public APIs, which in turn delegate to this utility.
