Procurement Common

Common Procurement

Integrate and Extend Procurement Using REST Services

In this update, Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement and Oracle Fusion Cloud Self Service Procurement deliver new and modified REST APIs to enable and simplify integration with external systems.

Procurement

Purchasing

Specify an Overriding Approver for Purchase Orders

Specify an overriding approver for purchase orders and route for approval. Buyers and requesters can now route purchase orders to a different overriding approver if the approver specified on the requisition is no longer responsible for approving the order or the subsequent changes.

Automate Invoice Validation to Release Holds Upon Purchase Order Change

Enable automatic validation of matched invoices to release holds upon change order implementation. This will eliminate the need to manually validate and release invoice holds if the purchase order change removes the hold condition. This can also eliminate the time delay if you have the invoice validation process running on a schedule.

Search Requisitions by Project and Task as a Buyer

Search for requisition lines using project number and task number attributes. As a buyer, now you can filter the requisitions to be processed into purchase orders using the project details.

External Purchase Prices

Manage Purchase Prices and Purchase Agreements for a Group of Requisitioning BUs

Map multiple requisitioning business units to a source organization and create external purchase prices for the group of requisitioning business units (BUs) specified in these mappings. You can maintain external purchase prices for this group of requisitioning BUs instead of creating separate external purchase prices for each requisitioning business unit. The purchase agreements created from these external purchase prices will be accessible to all the requisitioning BUs in the group.

Supplier Model

Prevent Suppliers from Registering As a Duplicate

Suppliers will be prevented from registering if they're already a valid supplier in the supplier master. This feature lets you validate duplicate suppliers upfront during supplier self-service registration.

Sourcing

Manage Large Negotiations

Manage negotiations with a very large number of lines using file-based import and background processing throughout the negotiation lifecycle.

Invite All Supplier Contacts

Send negotiation invitations to all contacts of a supplier for broader communication. Reduce the burden on category managers to figure out which supplier contact to invite.

Default a Negotiation Template

Default a negotiation template when creating a negotiation. Category managers can select another template if necessary.

Enforce Negotiation Template Selection

Require category managers to select a template when creating negotiations.

Initiate Approval for Purchasing Documents

Initiate approval by default when buyers create purchasing documents from the negotiation award. Avoid creating purchasing documents in incomplete status.

Configure Approval Rules for Amendments and New Rounds

Use a new approval attribute to route additional approvals for negotiation and award when there's an amendment or a new round.

Supplier Qualification Management

Exclude Not Applicable Questions from Scoring

When qualifying suppliers, you might ask questions that don't always apply for some suppliers. During evaluation, you can now automatically exclude such questions from scoring so they won't adversely impact the final outcome.

Spend Classification

Analyze Classification Results in a Batch and Use Visualizations for a Focused Review

Improve the review of your classification results using visualizations that help you narrow down the transactions that may need intervention. See in real time, the overall improvements to batch results in response to the corrections you make.

Procurement Contracts

Use Updated Rich Text Editor in Enterprise Contracts

Use the latest built-in rich text editor when editing clause text in Oracle Enterprise Contracts. Enjoy a simplified, more modern interface while using the same features available in the prior version of the editor.

Protect Supporting Documents from Deletion

Protect your supporting documents from being inadvertently deleted. Adding the new privilege, Delete Supporting Documents by Contract Status, to the required roles lets you restrict the deletion of supporting documents in all contract statuses other than Draft and Under Amendment. To restrict the deletion of supporting documents in all contract statuses, revoke the existing privilege, Delete Supporting Documents, for specific roles.
