Overview

APPS.PO_PDOI_DISTRIBUTIONS_SV3 is a server-side PL/SQL validation package used by the Purchasing Document Open Interface (PDOI) in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. Its principal responsibility is to validate distribution-level data submitted through the PO interface tables before that data is imported into the production purchasing tables. The package declares AUTHID CURRENT_USER, meaning it executes with the privileges of the calling schema rather than the APPS schema, a characteristic common to validation APIs invoked from the concurrent PDOI import program.

The "SV3" suffix indicates that this is one of a series of validation service packages, and its scope is tightly bound to distribution records within the PDOI processing sequence. Business users searching for "validate_org" will encounter this package because distribution validation depends heavily on organizational context—destination organizations, ship-to organizations, expenditure organizations, and inventory organizations—all of which are resolved and checked during the distribution validation pass.

Key Procedures and Functions

The ETRM metadata documents nine procedures or functions within the package. The most prominently documented is validate_po_dist(), whose signature reveals it accepts a comprehensive set of interface identifiers (interface header, line, and distribution IDs) alongside the corresponding production distribution ID and numerous descriptive attributes. These attributes cover charge accounts, destination organizations and types, item and ship-to organizations, deliver-to person and location, quantities (ordered, delivered, billed, cancelled), destination subinventory, WIP entity and repetitive schedule identifiers, encumbrance and budget controls, accrual and variance accounts, accounting flexfield identifiers, and project/task/expenditure context.

The remaining eight procedures perform supporting validation, though the ETRM extract lists them only by the generic column heading "NAME" rather than by individual name. In practice, these sibling routines validate specific attribute groupings passed from validate_po_dist(), such as organizational relationships, accounting distributions, and project-related fields. The validate_po_dist() procedure communicates outcomes through the x_header_processable_flag IN OUT NOCOPY parameter, which allows downstream processing to short-circuit when validation fails.

Tables Accessed

The package references eleven base tables through APPS synonyms. FINANCIALS_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS and PO_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS supply purchasing and financials setup defaults used to derive validation rules. GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS is queried to validate charge, budget, accrual, and variance accounting flexfield combinations. HZ_LOCATIONS validates deliver-to locations. MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS, MTL_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES, and MTL_ITEM_SUB_INVENTORIES support item, subinventory, and item-subinventory validation. PA_EXPENDITURE_TYPES and PA_EXPEND_TYP_SYS_LINKS validate project expenditure type assignments. WIP_DISCRETE_JOBS and WIP_REPETITIVE_SCHEDULES verify WIP references for outside processing and work-in-process distributions.

Usage Notes

PO_PDOI_DISTRIBUTIONS_SV3 is not intended for direct invocation by end users. It is called by the Purchasing Document Open Interface import concurrent program (PO_PDOI_IMPORT or its successor in 12.2.2) during the validation phase of distribution records, and is referenced by at least one other package as noted in the ETRM metadata. Customizations that extend PDOI validation should invoke this package only after populating the PO_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS rows, and should honor the processable flag to avoid committing records that failed validation. Because the package is AUTHID CURRENT_USER and versioned (the header shows 115.11, last modified 2004), release-specific behavior differences between 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 should be verified against the current source in the target environment.
