SAM Integration with Oracle Purchasing

SAM (System for Award Management) and Oracle Purchasing are integrated at various stages.

SAM and Purchasing are integrated at:

• Purchase order creation

  A purchase order can't be created for a site associated with an expired or inactive trading partner.

• Purchase order approval

  Users can’t approve a purchase order for an expired or inactive trading partner.

• Purchase order modification

  Users can’t modify a purchase order for an expired or inactive trading partner.

Here’s how SAM impacts Purchasing:

• The Purchase Orders window checks whether the supplier site is on purchase hold.

  If there are no supplier site purchasing holds, the document can be submitted for approval, and purchase orders can be approved in the Purchase Order Approval Workflow window.

• The Import Orders process checks the validity of the supplier and supplier site when importing approved purchase orders.

  If the supplier site is on purchase hold, the program records the exception in the log file.

• The Create Releases process verifies that the supplier site is not on purchase hold when the release generation method is automatic release.
