Overview

The concurrent program WSH_ITM_PARTY_SYNC, presented to end users under the name Party Synchronization, is a standard component of the Oracle E-Business Suite Shipping Execution (WSH) module. Its documented description, "ITM Party Synchronization," identifies it as the synchronization utility responsible for reconciling party (trading partner) data between the Shipping Execution application and the Oracle Information Technology Management (ITM) or party model that underpins shipping transactions. In practical terms, the program ensures that party identifiers, addresses, and associated trading-partner records referenced by shipping documents remain consistent with the authoritative party definitions held elsewhere in the E-Business Suite.

The program is shipped in an enabled state (Enabled: Yes) in both Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, confirming that it is available for submission out of the box without additional setup beyond standard Shipping Execution configuration.

Execution Details

The documented execution metadata for this program is as follows:

  • Product / Module: WSH — Shipping Execution
  • User-facing name: Party Synchronization
  • Execution Method: PL/SQL Stored Procedure
  • Argument Method: Standard
  • Executable: WSH_ITM_SYNC_PARTY
  • Execution File / Filename: WSH_ITM_PARTY_SYNC.POPULATE_DATA

Because the execution method is a PL/SQL Stored Procedure with the Standard argument method, the program is driven by the WSH_ITM_PARTY_SYNC.POPULATE_DATA routine rather than by a concurrent executable or host script. The Standard argument method indicates that parameters are presented to the user through the standard SRS parameter window at submission time.

How to Run

Users submit the program through the standard Submit Request flow (Requests > Run, or the equivalent navigation path) by selecting the Party Synchronization name from the list of available concurrent programs. Because the argument method is Standard, any defined parameters appear in the SRS parameter form; typical synchronization programs of this class expose options that filter the synchronization scope, though the documented metadata for this program does not enumerate specific arguments.

General guidance applies:

  • Schedule the program during a low-activity window, as synchronization programs can affect shipping transaction processing.
  • Review the concurrent request log and output for errors before re-running.
  • Pause integration or interface processing while the synchronization is in flight to avoid conflicting updates.

Related Objects

The following objects are commonly associated with party synchronization in the Shipping Execution module:

  • WSH_ITM_SYNC_PARTY — the underlying PL/SQL package containing the executable logic.
  • WSH_ITM_PARTY_SYNC — the sync package exposing the POPULATE_DATA entry point.
  • WSH_PARTIES_V and related trading-partner views used to source authoritative party data.
  • WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS and shipping transaction tables that reference party identifiers.
  • Standard Trading Partner (HZ_PARTIES / HZ_LOCATIONS) entities, which supply the master party definitions used for reconciliation.

Because the program is documented as an ITM party synchronization utility, its scope is limited to aligning party data; it is not a general-purpose shipping data repair program.
