Configuring the Make-Buy Indicator

This task is a step in the Process of Configuring Siebel Strategic Sourcing Analytics for Oracle 11i.

This configuration also applies to the Spend and Suppliers functional areas.

The Make-Buy indicator specifies whether a material that was used to manufacture a product was made in-house or bought from an outside vendor. By default, the indicator is set using the INP_PLANNING_MAKE_BUY_CODE. If the code is set to 1, then the indicator is set to make (M). However, if the code is set to 2, then the indicator is set to B. Otherwise, the indicator is set to null.

Your organization may require different indicator codes. If so, you can modify the indicator logic by reconfiguring the condition in the MPLT_SAI_PRODUCTS mapplet. For example, you may want your indicator code to be 0 for make and 1 for buy.

To configure the Make-Buy indicator

1. In PowerCenter Designer, open the Configuration for Oracle Applications v11i folder.
2. Open the MPLT_SAI_PRODUCTS mapplet.
3. Double-click the Expression transformation to open the Edit Transformations box, and select the Port tab to display the EXT_MAKE_BUY_IND port.
4. Edit the condition by replacing the prepackaged condition with your desired logic.
5. Click Apply to save changes.
6. Validate the mapplet, and click OK to exit.
