Overview

OZF_CLAIM_AGING_PVT is a private PL/SQL package in the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Trading Community / Trade Management (formerly Oracle Trade Management, OZF) module. Its business purpose is to populate claim aging data — that is, to classify open trade promotion claims into aging buckets based on how long they have remained outstanding. This aging output supports receivables-style analysis of trade claim balances, allowing trade promotion analysts and financial users to identify overdue, unreconciled, or long-aged claims that require collection, settlement, or write-off action.

The package is classified as a Private (PVT) API, meaning it is not part of the supported public integration surface and is intended for internal use by other Oracle Trade Management components rather than direct customer invocation. The package is declared with AUTHID CURRENT_USER, so it executes with the privileges of the calling user rather than the definer. The source header indicates version 1.0 with an origin date of June 2003, and the package operates within the APPS schema in both EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.

Key Procedures and Functions

The package exposes a single documented procedure:

• POPULATE_AGING — The sole documented routine, described in the API header as a Private procedure. Its stated purpose is to populate aging information for claims, using an optional aging bucket identifier. The standard signature includes ERRBUF and RETCODE OUT parameters (the conventional concurrent-program error and return-code outputs) together with the p_bucket_id input, which is the parameter referenced in the user's search. Because it is documented as Private with a current version of 1.0, it is a supporting routine rather than a public integration point, and callers should not rely on its signature remaining stable.

Tables Accessed

The package reads and writes the following documented tables through APPS synonyms:

• OZF_CLAIMS — The base claims entity holding the trade promotion claim records whose ages are being computed.
• OZF_AGING_BUCKET_DATES — Defines the aging bucket boundaries and date ranges used to classify claims, which is why p_bucket_id is accepted as an input to select or restrict a specific bucket definition.
• OZF_AGING_SUMMARY_ALL — The summary table where the computed aging results are stored, keyed across the relevant bucket and organization dimensions.
• PLITBLM — The standard Oracle Applications PL/SQL index-by table (character) package, typically used here for in-memory collections supporting the aging calculation logic.

Usage Notes

As a Private package, OZF_CLAIM_AGING_PVT is not intended for direct invocation by end users or external integrations. It is referenced by zero other packages per the documented metadata, indicating it is invoked from a narrow set of internal callers — most likely a Trade Management concurrent program or a related public aging API that supplies the ERRBUF, RETCODE, and p_bucket_id values. The presence of ERRBUF and RETCODE strongly suggests the procedure is designed to run as, or be called from, a concurrent program request; the optional p_bucket_id allows the caller to limit processing to a single aging bucket, or to process all buckets when the parameter is omitted or null. When custom code must trigger claim aging regeneration, the recommended approach is to invoke the supported public wrapper or submit the associated concurrent request rather than calling this private procedure directly, since private APIs are subject to change without notice across EBS releases.
