Overview

APPS.CN_SRP_VALIDATION_PUB is a public PL/SQL API package within the Oracle EBS Incentive Compensation (CN) module. It encapsulates the validation logic used to confirm that salesrep-related transaction data and quota/earnings records satisfy the business rules required before they are processed by the compensation engine. The package is declared with AUTHID CURRENT_USER, meaning its SQL executes under the privileges of the calling schema rather than the package owner, which is consistent with standard Oracle Application Object Library API design.

The package belongs to the PUB (public) API classification and exposes two documented procedures. Its header (revision 120.1, dated 2005/06/10) reflects the long-standing API conventions used throughout the Incentive Compensation product family, including standardized API versioning, message list initialization, commit control, and validation level parameters.

Key Procedures and Functions

The package exposes the following documented procedures:

  • VALIDATE_TRX — Accepts a transaction-level record (type srp_trx_rec_type, comprising salesrep_id and commission_header_id) and returns an x_validation_status flag alongside the standard API return status, message count, and message data outputs. It is the procedure referenced when a caller searches for "validate_trx," and it verifies that a given salesrep/commission header combination is valid for subsequent compensation processing.
  • VALIDATE_PE — Accepts a quota/earnings record (type srp_pe_rec_type, comprising salesrep_id and quota_id) and likewise returns an x_validation_status with the standard API messaging outputs. It validates the salesrep/quota pairing used in quota and earnings calculations.

Both procedures follow the identical signature pattern: p_api_version (required), p_init_msg_list, p_commit, and p_validation_level as inputs, with x_return_status, x_msg_count, and x_msg_data as standard outputs. The record parameter for each procedure is marked required. No functions are documented; the package consists solely of these two public procedures.

Tables Accessed

The ETRM metadata for this package does not enumerate directly referenced tables through APPS synonyms, and no underlying base-table dependencies are documented in the provided excerpt. Based on the record structures passed to the APIs, the validation logic is expected to consult Incentive Compensation salesrep, commission header, and quota tables (for example, CN_SALESREPS and related compensation/quota entities) to confirm referential and business validity. Because the package is a validation-only public API, any table access is expected to be read-oriented; no inserts, updates, or deletes are implied by the documented interface, and commit control is passed through p_commit rather than performed unconditionally.

Usage Notes

CN_SRP_VALIDATION_PUB is intended to be invoked by other PL/SQL packages, forms, or custom code before compensation transactions or quota/earnings records are committed. The metadata indicates it is referenced by two other packages, confirming its role as a shared validation service rather than an entry point invoked directly by end users.

Callers should pass FND_API.G_TRUE for p_init_msg_list when they require a fresh message stack, and should inspect x_return_status for FND_API.G_RET_STS_SUCCESS or G_RET_STS_ERROR before proceeding. The x_validation_status output provides the specific validation determination, while x_msg_count and x_msg_data supply any diagnostic messages. Because the procedures are PUBLIC and versioned, they are safe to call from custom extensions across EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, provided the caller respects the standard API error-handling conventions.
