Overview

The APPS.OE_VIEW_FUNCTIONS package is a utility PL/SQL package within the Oracle Order Management (OM) application schema. Its documented purpose is to supply helper functions that support view definitions in the Order Management module. In Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, the object is registered with a status of VALID and is classified under the ETRM API classification category OTHER, indicating that it is not a published, externally supported public API but rather an internal helper object used by other dictionary objects. The single documented function, GET_AGREEMENT_REVISION, suggests the package specializes in resolving agreement revision information for use within the agreements-related views and lists of values.

Key Procedures and Functions

The ETRM metadata documents one procedure or function within this package:

  • GET_AGREEMENT_REVISION — Returns agreement revision information. Its documented role places it as a supporting routine for the agreements list of values view. The function is typically used by dependent views to derive a revision indicator for an agreement record without duplicating that logic in each view definition. The metadata does not document the function's parameter list, so no signature is asserted here.

Because the package body is not exposed in the excerpt, the internal implementation details of GET_AGREEMENT_REVISION cannot be stated with certainty. What is documented is that the function exists, is VALID in the APPS schema, and is consumed by at least one dependent view.

Tables Accessed

The documented dependency information for OE_VIEW_FUNCTIONS does not enumerate any tables accessed through APPS synonyms. The only external dependency recorded is on SYS.STANDARD, the standard PL/SQL package that defines fundamental datatypes and operations. This dependency is present in virtually every compiled PL/SQL unit, so it does not imply access to any Order Management base tables.

From the known Oracle EBS data model, the GET_AGREEMENT_REVISION function as referenced by OE_AGREEMENTS_LOV_V logically draws on agreement data held in the Order Management agreements tables (such as the OE_AGREEMENTS and revision-related structures). However, because the ETRM metadata lists no table dependencies for this package, no specific table access can be asserted as documented fact. The absence of table references in the metadata indicates the object may be a thin wrapper or that its static SQL dependencies were not captured.

Usage Notes

OE_VIEW_FUNCTIONS is an internal supporting package rather than a direct entry point for customization. The documented dependency graph shows it is referenced by OE_AGREEMENTS_LOV_V and by itself, meaning its primary consumer is the agreements list of values view shipped with Oracle Order Management. When an Order Management form or concurrent process displays an agreements LOV, that view invokes GET_AGREEMENT_REVISION to resolve the revision value displayed to the user.

The package is not documented as invoked directly by forms, concurrent programs, or public APIs. In custom development, calling this package directly is generally discouraged because it is classified as OTHER and lacks a documented parameter interface. Customers extending the agreements LOV should instead build on supported Order Management APIs or join to the underlying agreement tables. As with all APPS-schema helper packages, any modifications or direct calls carry upgrade risk, since internal helper logic may change between 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 without public notice.
