Overview

PAY_CA_PAYREG_EXTRACT_DATA_PKG is an Oracle E-Business Suite PL/SQL package owned by the APPS schema and classified under the OTHER API category in the ETRM repository for release 12.2.2 (and applicable to 12.1.1). It forms part of the Canadian Payroll legislative reporting infrastructure, specifically the extract layer that produces the data set consumed by the Canadian Payroll Register (Payreg) reporting process. The package's role is to assemble, stage, and persist the payroll register information required for downstream formatting and submission-oriented outputs. Its status is documented as VALID, confirming that it compiles cleanly against the APPS schema and that all of its dependencies resolve at the time of documentation. The package is a supporting technical component rather than a public, customer-facing API; it is invoked internally by the higher-level Canadian Payroll extract driver to materialize the rows that the payreg report reads.

Key Procedures and Functions

The ETRM inventory documents a single callable program unit within this package.

• POPULATE_TABLE — The documented entry point of the package. Its purpose is to populate the staging or extract table used by the Canadian Payroll Register process. In the standard architecture of Canadian Payroll extracts, this routine selects the relevant payroll action, assignment, and balance information for the reporting period and inserts the resulting rows into the designated extract table so that subsequent formatting or reporting logic can operate against a stable data set. The procedure encapsulates the insertion logic, including the selection criteria that restrict data to the applicable payroll run, period, and legislative reporting scope. No parameter list is documented in the ETRM metadata, and none should be assumed; consumers integrating with this package must derive the actual signature from the package specification in the database.

Tables Accessed

The ETRM documentation for this object does not enumerate specific base tables referenced through APPS synonyms; the recorded dependency information lists only SYS.STANDARD, which is a PL/SQL language dependency rather than a data object. Accordingly, the object-level table list is not authoritative in the available metadata and should be verified against the package body using ALL_DEPENDENCIES or USER_SOURCE. Functionally, a routine named POPULATE_TABLE in this package necessarily writes to a staging or extract table dedicated to Canadian Payroll Register output, and reads source payroll data — typically payroll action and assignment records together with run result and balance values — to construct those rows. The absence of documented table references reflects the completeness of the metadata rather than the absence of data access, and any impact analysis should treat the package as both a reader of payroll transactional data and a writer to its extract target.

Usage Notes

PAY_CA_PAYREG_EXTRACT_DATA_PKG is referenced by one other package, PAY_CA_PAYREG_EXTRACT_PKG, which is the coordinating driver for the Canadian Payroll Register extract. This confirms the intended invocation pattern: the driver package calls POPULATE_TABLE as one step in a larger sequence that prepares, stages, and finalizes payreg output. The package is therefore not normally called directly from Oracle Forms; it is executed in the context of the Canadian Payroll extract concurrent program or from the driver package's PL/SQL flow. Custom code should avoid invoking POPULATE_TABLE in isolation unless the surrounding extract state — reporting period, payroll identifiers, and any session context established by the driver — has been correctly initialized. Because the package is documented with restricted metadata and an OTHER classification rather than a supported public API designation, it should be treated as an internal implementation component subject to change between releases. Any extension or customization should be implemented in a separate custom package that calls the documented driver, rather than by modifying or directly re-invoking this package, in order to preserve upgrade safety across 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.
