Absence Integration with OTL Projects Layout Part 1

As per Doc ID 1285890.1 OTL-Absence Integration and Self Service Projects and Payroll Timecard layout
is not supported. In this document I had developed work around for this functionality.
Goal:
Prevent Timekeeper to enter timesheet in a day which has approved absence in HR (Part 1 )
Prevent HR to create absence in a day which has working hours in OTL module ( Part 2 )

Prevent Timekeeper to enter timesheet in a day which has approved absence in HR.
Create the following package:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE APPS.XX_OTL_PACKAGE
IS
FUNCTION OTL_CHECK_LEAVE_IN_DAY (p_resource_id NUMBER,P_DATE DATE)RETURN
NUMBER;
FUNCTION OTL_PREV_ABSENCE_DAYS (p_resource_id NUMBER) RETURN number;
END XXNAP_OTL_PACKAGE;
/

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.XX_OTL_PACKAGE

IS
FUNCTION OTL_CHECK_LEAVE_IN_DAY (p_resource_id NUMBER,P_DATE DATE)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
L_COUNT
NUMBER :=0;
--L_DATE
DATE
;
BEGIN
SELECT NVL ((SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM PER_ABSENCE_ATTENDANCES PAA
WHERE PAA.PERSON_ID = p_resource_id
AND (
(PAA.DATE_END BETWEEN P_DATE AND P_DATE
)
OR (PAA.DATE_START BETWEEN P_DATE AND P_DATE
)
OR (P_DATE BETWEEN PAA.DATE_START AND PAA.DATE_END
)
OR (P_DATE <= PAA.DATE_START AND P_DATE >= PAA.DATE_END
)
)),0) INTO L_COUNT FROM DUAL ;

RETURN L_COUNT;
END OTL_CHECK_LEAVE_IN_DAY;
FUNCTION OTL_PREV_ABSENCE_DAYS (p_resource_id NUMBER)
RETURN number

IS
l_return_rule_status number := 0;
L_LEAVE_OVERLAB
number := 0;
L_WORKING_HOURS
number := 0;
l_timecard_info hxc_self_service_time_deposit.timecard_info;
l_tbb_array HXC_BLOCK_TABLE_TYPE;
BEGIN
l_timecard_info := hxc_self_service_time_deposit.get_building_blocks;
l_tbb_array
:= hxc_deposit_wrapper_utilities.blocks_to_array(p_blocks =>
l_timecard_info);
IF l_tbb_array.FIRST IS NOT NULL THEN

FOR i IN l_tbb_array.FIRST .. l_tbb_array.LAST

LOOP
IF l_tbb_array(i).SCOPE = 'DETAIL' THEN
L_WORKING_HOURS := NVL (l_tbb_array(i).MEASURE,0);

FOR c IN l_tbb_array.FIRST .. l_tbb_array.LAST

LOOP
IF l_tbb_array(c).SCOPE = 'DAY' and
l_tbb_array(c).TIME_BUILDING_BLOCK_ID =
l_tbb_array(i).PARENT_BUILDING_BLOCK_ID THEN

L_LEAVE_OVERLAB :=
XXNAP_OTL_PACKAGE.OTL_CHECK_LEAVE_IN_DAY(p_resource_id,FND_DATE.CANONICAL_TO_D

INSERT INTO XX_OTL_DEBUG VALUES

VERLAB,L_WORKING_HOURS,l_tbb_array(c).TIME_BUILDING_BLOCK_ID,l_tbb_array(i).PA
RENT_BUILDING_BLOCK_ID);

IF L_WORKING_HOURS > 0 and L_LEAVE_OVERLAB > 0 THEN

l_return_rule_status := l_return_rule_status+1;
END IF;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END IF;
RETURN l_return_rule_status;
END OTL_PREV_ABSENCE_DAYS;

END XXNAP_OTL_PACKAGE;
