Overview

Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus integration lets you search and filter information. You can search all catalogs in a particular store, and view recent requisitions and notifications.

Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus helps requesters to view or perform their regular activities from the home page itself without excessive navigation.

The Feedback tab enables requesters to provide feedback or suggestions to buyers. The feedback or suggestions can be about an item or a supplier or anything which the requester wants to communicate with the buyer. The buyer can access the feedback or suggestions given by requester and provide comments. It helps buyers refine the catalogs based on the requester's suggestions. Buyers also take necessary steps to address the requester's feedback or suggestions. Requesters can track the status on each suggestions. This improves the communication between requesters and buyers. Requesters can communicate the plan for the item or service to buyer well in advance to start sourcing negotiations. Feedback can be accessed by the buyer through the Procurement Command Center.

You can search using Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus pages and Endeca Information Discovery (EID) design tools. These pages are hosted in an EID environment, and called from container pages in EBS. In Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus, the Shopping Stores Home page enables search functions using Endeca Information Discovery integration. This region in the Home page lets you search for all catalogs in a particular store or browse through the hierarchy of categories within the catalog to locate items and services.

Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery User Plus Interface and Integration

Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus User Interface

The Shop Home page enables you to search for all catalogs in a particular store or browse through the hierarchy of categories within the catalog to locate items and services. The page displays information and data graphically and in tabular format.

The Shop Home page contains filtering components that you can use to search, navigate and filter the data displayed in other components:

In the casual user home page, the search box, My Requisition table, Progress Metrics, Purchasing News and Frequently Requested Items are shown. For power users, a more robust home page is displayed where the key features include a clickable metric panel for user requisition status, progress metric, My Requisition table, and a tag cloud for top categories requested. In addition, metrics and charts such as Order Processing Time provide insight related to employee driven procurement.

The Shopping Lists tab enables you to view information on frequently requested items, including personal and public favorites. You can use this page to add items to favorites, add items to the cart, view the shopping cart, and compare selected items.

The Non-Catalog Request tab enables you to purchase goods and services not available in the catalog. When you create a non-catalog request, you automatically receive suggestions of matching catalog items based on the details you enter in the non-catalog request. Click the Check Catalog for Similar Items button to navigate to the Non-Catalog Request: Check Catalog for Similar Items page, which has two regions, one containing the non-catalog request details and the other displaying the suggested catalog information. This helps to reduce the volume of non catalog requests for which a catalog item selection is more appropriate, and provides preferred items or services from recommended suppliers to requesters, increasing service levels. Click the Please add this Non-Catalog Request to a catalog for future orders check box to send a message to the buyer to make the non-catalog request item to the catalog. You can use the Feedback tab to check progress of this request. Administrators can choose to show or hide the Check Catalog for Similar Items using function security, depending on your organization's requirements. By default, this button is enabled. By default, the Add to Cart button is also displayed, however, administrators can choose to disable this button and insist that users click the Check catalog for Similar Items button before adding items to the cart.

The Contract Requestor tab enables you to request to hire temporary labor, including contractors and temporary personnel.

Your Popular Categories	This tag cloud region for seeing the top categories requested is available only to power users and shows the top 3 categories requested by requester.
User Metrics	Indirect Spend Tab - displays the following charts: Requisition Status - this is a stacked bar chart showing the number of requisitions in each status. For example, the requestor can view how many requisitions are in a buyer's pool, how many orders are created and so on. If the requisition line is linked to an order, then the status can be Order Created. If the requisition is in the pool, then it can be: In-Pool Urgent – if the urgent flag is checked In-Pool - late – if the need-by-date is in the past In-Pool – Waiting in buyer's pool. Requisition Analysis - this is a pie-chart that shows requisition amount or record count in value axis by Request type (Non-Catalog Request, Catalog Items and Contractor Request), buyer, category, requisition number and Ship-to. Procurement Status Tab - displays the following charts: Procurement Cycle Time- this shows how the procurement cycle time is calculated at each requisition-line by subtracting the Requisition Approval date from PO Approval date, and then this time is averaged across the categories, and expressed as a stacked horizontal bar-chart – Buyer, Record Count (default), Ship-to. Procurement Analysis - this chart is based on Requisitions Lines with reference to On-contract Vs Off-Contract. For example, requester can see in a particular month how many On-Contract vs Off Contract Items were requested. Similarly, with regard to category if considerable amount of spend happens on a particular category, for example, Hardware.Computers, and it shows all these spend happened on Off Contract, requester can pro-actively provide the feedback to buyer that this item is requested for X value in last 3 months and no contract is available. This enables the buying organization to negotiate with the vendor and get a best price.

Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus Product Configuration

Once you have completed installation and common configurations as described in Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery, Release 12.2 V8 document (Doc ID: 2214431.1), you must complete the Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus product configuration setup as detailed in this section.

Setting Up Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus Product Configuration

To set up Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus Product Configuration, complete the following steps:

Grant the ICX_ENDECA_ACCESS_ROLE ((ICX Endeca Access Role) to the predefined iProcurement responsibility (FND_RESP|ICX|SELF_SERVICE_PURCHASING_5|STANDARD).

See: Oracle E-Business Suite System Administrator's Guide - Security for more information on how to assign roles.

See: Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery, Release 12.2 V8 document (Doc ID: 2214431.1) for more information on roles in Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery.
Run the Populate Endeca Metadata for iProcurement concurrent program.

See: Populating Endeca Metadata for iProcurement
Run the Full Load Configuration Graph.

See: Running the Full Load Configuration Graph
Schedule the set up for Incremental Endeca Refresh.

See: Setting Up the Scheduler to Load Incremental Graphs
Additionally, if your organization uses descriptors to provide more information about an item or services, you define icon based descriptors. Icon Descriptor will be defined as like any other descriptor. The icon indicator flag is used to differentiate an icon descriptor with normal descriptors. Few icon descriptors are predefined in the application, however, you can define your own names and the number of icon descriptors.

Organizations use descriptors to provide more information about an item or services. Apart from text based descriptors to define the more information about an item or services, you can also use icon based descriptors. This helps the requesters to easily search and identity the desired item with the help of icon descriptors. Also requesters can view the items in the order of Promotion Factor. For each of the icon descriptors, a promotion factor is entered. Based on ranking of promotion factor, items in search results are displayed. Icon descriptor and Promotion factor are dependent. You can define a Promotion Factor only when the Icon indicator is set to Yes.

You can also enter the Promotion Factor. You can enter a promotion factor for each of the icon descriptors. As an administrator, you can add the descriptors as part of available refinements. For example, a user can filter the items with Icon Descriptors such Preferred Suppliers, Green Supplier etc. Available refinements is configurable. You add the Icon descriptor and Promotion factor in the Base Descriptor tab of the Schema window using the Catalog Administrator in iProcurement Catalog Administration Responsibility. By default, the Icon Indicator is set to Yes, and the Promotion Factor is predefined as 0.1. Configuring the Icon Descriptor helps the requesters to easily search and identity the desired item with the help of icon descriptors. The application, then, displays items in search results based on the ranking of the promotion factor. When multiple icon descriptors are tied to same item, the application computes the total promotion factor (cumulative of all icon descriptor's Promotion Factors tied to an item) and shows the search results accordingly.

Populating Endeca Metadata for Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus

Use the Populate Endeca Metadata for iProcurement concurrent program, available under purchasing responsibility, to synchronize the available Endeca metadata. Run this concurrent program before running the full load graph. Whenever you make setup changes such as descriptor setup changes and/or content zone setup changes, you must run the full load again. If your setup changes occur daily, it is recommended that you schedule this concurrent program to run every day (1 hour before the full load graph run). After you successfully run this concurrent program, you can schedule to run the full load graph. For example, you can schedule the concurrent program to run every night at 1:00AM and then schedule the full load graph to run daily at 2:00AM.

Program Name: Populate Endeca Metadata for iProcurement
Executable: ICXENDECA
Method: PL/SQL
Stored Procedure Execution file name: ICX_ENDECA_UTIL_PKG.populate_metadata_SRS

You run this concurrent process from the Submit Requests window.

To run the Populate Endeca Metadata for iProcurement process

Select Populate Endeca Metadata for iProcurement in the Name field.
Ensure the Save all Output Files check box is selected.
Click Submit.

Running the Full Load Configuration Graph

As a catalog administrator, if you need to make any changes to the descriptor setup or content zone setup, the changes will not be synchronized to the endeca server by running the incremental graph. For these changes to get reflected in the endeca server, you need to run the FullLoadConfig graph. Before you run the full load complete the following steps:

Run the Populate Endeca Metadata for iProcurement concurrent program. This ensures that the FND metadata table is populated with the latest setup details.
Run the FullLoadConfig graph from the Integrator. You can also submit the ETL using the concurrent program Run Clover ETL Graphs and schedule it for regular intervals. Once you complete the above two steps, the data in endeca server will be up-to-date.

Note: If you have not made any changes to the configuration like descriptor setup or content zone setup, then you do not need to run the FullLoad Config graph, and running incremental load suffices.

To run the Full Load Configuration Graph

Login to Integrator server using your Clover login.
Click the Scheduling tab.
Select the New Schedule link.
Enter a Description for the scheduler, for example, iProcurement Incremental Load Scheduler.
Select Periodic as the Type.
Select by interval as the Periodicity.
Enter a start date and time in the Not active before date/time field.
Enter an end date and time in the Not active after date/time field.
Enter a value in the Interval (minutes) field.
Ensure you select the Fire misfired event as soon as possible check box.
Select Execute graph from the Task Type list.
Select icx-iproc from the Sandbox list.
Select graph/FullLoadConfig.grf from the Graph list.
Click Create to set the scheduler.

Setting Up the Scheduler to Load Incremental Graphs

Once the Full graph is run in accordance with the Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery, Release 12.2 V8 document (Doc ID: 2214431.1), initial data load for Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery Plus is complete. For incremental refresh, you must determine how often the Endeca data should be refreshed from EBS depending upon your organizational requirements. Oracle recommends that you keep this near real time. As the data is updated in the EBS, you need to ensure it is updated in the Endeca MDEX server. You set up the Scheduler to load incremental graphs depending on when you update catalog information. For example, if you update catalog information frequently, you might choose to set the scheduler to load the incremental graph once in every 3 hours, or, if you do not update catalog information too frequently, you can set the scheduler to run once in a day. To keep the data in the Endeca server up-to-date, do one of the following:

Run the IncrementalLoadConfig.grf from the icx-iproc sandbox whenever catalog information in EBS is updated.
Alternatively, set up the scheduler in the Integrator server to run at periodic intervals.

To Schedule ETL on Integrator Server

Login to Integrator server using your Clover login.
Click the Scheduling tab.
Select the New Schedule link.
Enter a Description for the scheduler, for example, iProcurement Incremental Load Scheduler.
Select Periodic as the Type.
Select by interval as the Periodicity.
Enter a start date and time in the Not active before date/time field.
Enter an end date and time in the Not active after date/time field.
Enter a value in the Interval (minutes) field.
Ensure you select the Fire misfired event as soon as possible check box.
Select Start a graph from the Task Type list.
Select icx-iproc from the Sandbox list.
Select graph/IncrementalLoadConfig.grf from the Graph list.
Click Create to set the scheduler.
