Marketplace Integration Set Up

To set up the connection between eProcurement and a Marketplace:

1. Set up Marketplace suppliers as suppliers, using the Supplier Information component.

2. Set up Marketplace suppliers as eProcurement suppliers, using a Marketplace Supplier Setup page.

3. Associate the SetID that is used in the eProcurement record group as a buyer in a Marketplace using the Marketplace Buyers - Buyer Setup pages.

   Note:

   All transactions for eProcurement are stored by using the business unit as a key field. These business units are associated with the eProcurement record group (PV_01) by using a SetID on the Table Control - Record Group page. In order to pass transactions to a Marketplace, the SetIDs that are used must be defined as a Marketplace buyer using the Marketplace Buyers - Buyer Setup page.

   Note:

   If you are using xCBL 2.0 or Business Interlinks, then you need to enter the internet address of the Integration Broker Gateway connector on the Buyer Setup page. If you use Integration Broker, the internet address is not required.

4. Synchronize shared data that is transferred between eProcurement and a Marketplace.

   To prevent validation errors during the transfer of data between eProcurement and a Marketplace, ensure that common control data is identified by the same codes. This common data includes units of measure, currency codes, country codes, language codes, and so on.
