Cross-Product Procurement Enhancements

Integrate and Extend Procurement Using REST Services

In this update, Oracle Procurement Cloud delivers modified REST APIs to enable and simplify integration with external systems.

Purchasing

Reinstate Unfulfilled Requisition Demand When Cancelling a Purchase Order Under Budgetary Control

Reinstate unfulfilled requisition demand when canceling a purchase order under budgetary control. Selecting this option will let you process the unfulfilled demand into new orders without needing additional rounds of approvals and budget checks.

Self Service Procurement

Fulfill Project Material Requirements from Internal Sources

Request internally stocked items to fulfill project material requirements.

Override Agreement Price on Requisitions

Override the blanket purchase agreement price in requisitions for goods and services. With this enhancement, you can change the item price on the Edit Requisition page and through the requisition import program when the blanket purchase agreement allows price override.

Allow Approvers to Reject Updated Budgetary-Controlled Requisitions That Failed Funds Check

As an approver, you can now reject budgetary-controlled requisitions that you edited but could not submit because of funds check failures. Rejecting these requisitions lets you inform requesters of the exceptions encountered. Requesters can then cancel the requisitions if needed. Without the ability to reject, you would have to communicate using offline means in order to move the requisitions from your approval queue.

Supplier Model

Configure Supplier Registration Approval Decision Notifications with Business Intelligence Publisher

Use an Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher template to configure the supplier registration email notifications used to communicate the approval decision to the registering company. You can alter the notification content to meet your specific business requirements.

Sourcing

Upload Supplier Response Lines Spreadsheet in a Flat File Format

Enable a negotiation response spreadsheet for suppliers to respond to large line volume negotiations. Suppliers can use this new flat-file spreadsheet (.csv) when responding to negotiation lines only.
