This appendix covers the following topics:
You can use this API if you have a custom interface that makes it difficult to use with the existing interfaces in Oracle Assets. You can use this API to automatically delete the asset not only from the corporate book, but also from dependent tax books.
Note: You can delete assets only when you are adding and their accounts are not yet processed in subledger accounting.
If you have set up alternate ledger currency , when you add or modify assets using an Oracle Assets API, the API copies the transactions to the reporting currencies automatically. Invoice rounding issues are avoided by using the API to drive the alternate ledger currency accounting for both the ledger and reporting currencies.

Sample Script: Using the Deletion API
The following table provides the arguments, types, value, and descriptions of the elements of the FA_DELETION_PUB.do_delete procedure, which is the Deletion API procedure.
Each argument has a prefix of P, X, or PX. These prefixes mean the following:
P - indicates an In argument
X - indicates an Out argument
PX - indicates an argument that is both In and Out
Argument | Type | Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
P_API_VERSION | NUMBER | Internal use only | Version of the API in use. |
P_INIT_MESG_LIST | VARCHAR2(1) | FND_API.G_TRUE - Initialize the message stack. FND_API.G_FALSE - Do not initialize the message stack (Default) |
Determines whether the messages stack should be initialized and cleared. |
P_COMMIT | VARCHAR2(1) | FND_API.G_TRUE - Commit automatically. FND_API.G_FALSE - Do not commit automatically (Default) |
Commits the transaction. |
P_VALIDATION_LEVEL | NUMBER | FND_API.G_VALID_ LEVEL_NONE - Low level validation for a transaction. FND_API.G_VALID_ LEVEL_FULL - High level validation for a transaction (Default). |
Asset validation by the API. |
P_CALLING_FN | VARCHAR2(30) | Function calling the API | |
X_RETURN_STATUS | VARCHAR2(1) | FND_API.G_RET_STS_ SUCCESS - Indicates a success. FND_API.G_RET_STS_ ERROR - Indicates a failed transaction. FND_API.G_RET_STS_ UNEXP_ERROR - Indicates an unexpected error. |
Determines the API success. |
X_MSG_COUNT | NUMBER | Number of messages on the message stack. | |
X_MSG_DATA | VARCHAR2(1024) | Message stack. | |
PX_ASSET_HDR_REC | FA_API_TYPES. ASSET_HDR_REC_TYPE | Unique identifiers for the assets. |
The ASSET_HDR_REC_TYPE asset structure contains unique identification information for a given asset, such as the asset ID and book type code. The following table shows type and value information for each argument.
Argument | Required / Optional | Type | Value |
---|---|---|---|
ASSET_ID | Required | NUMBER(15) | OUT parameter. |
BOOK_TYPE_CODE | Required | VARCHAR2(15) | Book name. |
The following sample script shows how you can use the Asset Deletion API.
