Column Definitions:
Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.
UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.
UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.
Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.

Customer Must Take Action before Use by End Users Not disruptive as action is required to make these features ready to use. As you selectively choose to leverage, you set your test and roll out timing. |

Integrations with Procurement Cloud
Manage Supplier Risk with DataFox Supplier Intelligence
You can now integrate Oracle Procurement Cloud with Oracle DataFox to enrich your supplier profiles with relevant firmographics and risk intelligence information. Use DataFox data to evaluate and manage supplier risks and take corrective actions sooner.
This integration helps you maintain an accurate and up-to-date supplier database. You can evaluate supplier risks using real-time risk indicator scores, signals, and alerts for time-sensitive information about suppliers. You can then integrate the enriched profile data into your supplier onboarding and risk management processes.
