Overview

The APPS.OZF_ALLOCATION_ENGINE_PVT_W package is a private, internal wrapper package within the Oracle E-Business Suite Treasury (ETRM) module. It belongs to the OZF (Treasury) application schema and forms part of the allocation engine infrastructure that supports the Treasury Management product. The package is defined with AUTHID CURRENT_USER, meaning its procedures execute with the privileges of the invoking user rather than the package owner, a design choice typical of EBS private APIs that are called from other PL/SQL constructs within the same execution context.

The business function served by this package is the allocation of funds or budget targets within the Treasury Management allocation framework. Allocation in EBS Treasury refers to the distribution of amounts across cost centers, accounts, or other target entities based on predefined rules. The allocation engine is responsible for processing these distribution rules and applying the resulting amounts to the appropriate transactional records. The _PVT_W suffix indicates this is a private wrapper interface, typically exposing a metadata-defined signature that the public API layer invokes internally.

Key Procedures and Functions

The documented metadata identifies a single procedure within this package:

• ALLOCATE_TARGET — This is the sole documented procedure in the package. Its purpose is to execute the allocation logic against a specified target. The parameter set, retained in the package source, includes API versioning and message list controls, commit and validation-level flags, standard return status and error output parameters, a processing mode indicator, a fund identifier, an old start date and new end date pair, and an add-on factor identifier with a corresponding add-on amount. Together these parameters indicate the procedure recalculates or reallocates a fund's effective date range and optionally applies an incremental (add-on) allocation amount tied to a factor record.

No functions or additional procedures are documented beyond ALLOCATE_TARGET. The procedure follows standard EBS API conventions, returning status and diagnostic information through its OUT parameters rather than raising unhandled exceptions.

Tables Accessed

The ETRM metadata for this object does not enumerate specific base tables referenced through APPS synonyms. The package source header (ozfwaegs.pls, version 115.1, dated 2003/11/19) indicates an early-generation Treasury allocation script. Based on the parameter profile — fund identifier, date ranges, and add-on factor — the procedure is expected to operate against Treasury allocation and fund definition tables within the OZF schema, most likely the allocation target and factor definition tables that drive the allocation engine. Because the metadata does not confirm explicit table references, integrators should inspect the package body in the target environment to determine the precise DML footprint before relying on it for data lineage or impact analysis.

Usage Notes

As a private wrapper package, OZF_ALLOCATION_ENGINE_PVT_W is not intended for direct invocation by end users or external integrations. It is designed to be called by the corresponding public API layer or by other internal Treasury packages. The package is referenced by zero other documented packages according to the ETRM metadata, which suggests either a narrow call surface or that callers are resolved dynamically at runtime.

Typical invocation scenarios include:

• Concurrent programs in the Treasury Management module that process fund allocations in batch.
• Form-based user actions that trigger reallocation when fund start or end dates change.
• Add-on allocation processing where an incremental amount is applied against a factor.
• Custom PL/SQL code that calls the Treasury allocation engine through its public interface, which in turn delegates to this private wrapper.

Because the package uses AUTHID CURRENT_USER, invoking code must possess the necessary object privileges on the underlying OZF tables. Support for this object should be validated against the specific EBS 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 patch level, as the documented version (115.1) dates from 2003 and may have been superseded by later revisions. Oracle does not generally certify private (_PVT) packages for customer extension, so direct calls should be avoided in favor of the supported public API.
