Overview

CSF_DEBRIEF_HEADERS_PKG is an Oracle E-Business Suite PL/SQL package owned by the APPS schema that encapsulates the data manipulation logic for debrief headers within the Field Service (CSF) module. A debrief represents the structured record a field service technician completes after performing service work at a customer site, capturing travel details, service outcomes, and related task information. This package provides the canonical API layer through which the CSF_DEBRIEF_HEADERS table is inserted, updated, locked, and deleted, insulating callers from direct DML against the underlying table and centralizing validation and attribute handling. The package is declared with AUTHID CURRENT_USER, meaning that privilege resolution occurs in the context of the invoking user rather than the package owner. Its header carries a version marker dated 2008, indicating a long-standing, stabilized interface within the EBS codebase.

Key Procedures and Functions

The package exposes five documented procedures. Each performs a discrete operation on the debrief header entity.

• INSERT_ROW — Creates a new debrief header record. It accepts the debrief header identifier as an IN OUT parameter so that the generated primary key can be returned to the caller, along with the descriptive and transactional columns that define a debrief.
• UPDATE_ROW — Modifies the mutable attributes of an existing debrief header, including status, debrief date and number, and the descriptive flexfield attribute columns.
• LOCK_ROW — Obtains a row-level lock on the target debrief header to support pessimistic concurrency control, typically invoked immediately prior to an update so that concurrent sessions cannot modify the same record.
• DELETE_ROW — Removes a debrief header record from the table, used when a debrief is discarded or superseded.
• GET_RESOURCE_NAME — Returns the resource name associated with a debrief, providing a read-only lookup used for display and validation purposes.

The package additionally declares an internal record type, internal_user_hooks_rec, and a corresponding record variable named user_hooks_rec. This structure mirrors the debrief header columns and initializes each field to the FND_API.G_MISS_* sentinel values, which the API uses to distinguish columns that were not supplied by the caller from those deliberately set to null. The variable is internal to the package body and is not a public extension point.

Tables Accessed

The package operates against two documented objects, both referenced through APPS synonyms. CSF_DEBRIEF_HEADERS is the primary transactional table holding the debrief header records; all four DML procedures act upon it. CSF_DEBRIEF_HEADERS_S1 is the unique index on the debrief header number, maintained automatically as part of inserts and updates. No other tables are documented as referenced by this package.

Usage Notes

CSF_DEBRIEF_HEADERS_PKG is referenced by three other packages within the EBS application tier, indicating that it serves as a shared lower-level API rather than a standalone entry point. Typical invocation occurs from Field Service forms and from higher-level business logic packages that orchestrate the debrief lifecycle. Because the procedures use the G_MISS sentinel convention inherited from FND_API, callers should supply G_MISS_NUM, G_MISS_CHAR, or G_MISS_DATE for any optional column they do not wish to change, particularly when calling UPDATE_ROW. Custom code should treat this package as the supported interface for debrief header maintenance and avoid direct DML against CSF_DEBRIEF_HEADERS, so that index maintenance and attribute handling remain consistent with standard EBS behavior.
