Send Purchase Order Notifications Based on Supplier Contact Role

Supplier management administrators can assign a specific role to supplier contacts to receive purchase order creation and update notifications. To enable this capability, assign the Purchase Order Fulfillment Administrator role to the supplier contact in the supplier profile and enable the POS: Enable Contact Purpose Based Notifications profile option.
Compared with the prior supplier collaboration capability, this enhancement adds the capability directly to the Oracle iSupplier Portal flow in Release 12.2.14. The enhancement provides approval visibility, cleaner notification handling, and fewer manual status checks across purchasing stakeholders.

Steps to enable and configure

1. Define the POS: Enable Contact Purpose Based Notifications profile option at the site level.
2. On the Contact Purpose page, assign the Purchase Order Fulfillment Administrator contact purpose to the supplier contact.
3. Test purchase order creation and update notifications for the configured supplier contact.
