This chapter covers the following topics:
You can use business events and flexfields to integrate or extend the Oracle Channel Rebate and Point of Sales Management functionality..
All the events will publish XML data specific for the event in the form of a CLOB (character large object). A CLOB is used to store unicode character-based data, such as large documents in any character set.
Subscribe to the business events with a phase greater than 99 to read the data so that any subscription to the event will be executed in a deferred mode and does not interfere with the online processing.
| Business Event Name | Display Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| oracle.apps.ozf.offer.OfferApproval | Offer Approval Event | This event is raised whenever an offer is approved. |
| oracle.apps.ozf.quota.QuotaApproval | Quota Approval Event | This event is raised whenever a quota is approved. |
| oracle.apps.ozf.target.TargetApproval | Target Approval Event | This event is raised whenever a customer target is changed. |
