In this update, Oracle Procurement Cloud delivers modified REST APIs to enable and simplify integration with external systems.
Create Purchase Order Lines in the Same Sequence as Sales Order Lines

Update Account and Budget Date on Budgetary-Controlled Open Purchase Orders
Change account and budget date on open purchase orders, even if subject to budgetary control. You can make the changes if there are no project references on the purchase order distributions. The necessary funds checks and adjustments to funds reservations and encumbrance accounting when applicable are automatically handled based on the updated information.
