Validate Supply Chain Financing and Virtual Card Offer Capabilities

Use these validation scenarios to confirm that the Payment Options Assistant can compare Supply Chain Financing with other payment programs and create ad hoc Virtual Card draft offers for eligible suppliers. Verify that benefit calculations, offer previews, and confirmation steps work as expected.

Validate Supply Chain Financing Comparison

Use this validation scenario to confirm that the Payment Options Assistant evaluates Supply Chain Financing alongside Dynamic Discounting and Virtual Card and recalculates the benefit when you change the payment extension assumption.

1. Go to the Payment Options tab.
2. In the Ask Oracle bar, enter: Compare Dynamic Discounting, Virtual Card and Supply Chain Financing benefits for my top 5 suppliers in USD for [Business Unit].
3. Review the comparison and confirm that Supply Chain Financing is included with a benefit value and an explanation of how the benefit was calculated.
4. In the Ask Oracle bar, enter: What if we extended the payment period by 30 days?
5. Review the recalculated scenario.

Expected Result

Verify that:

• The assistant returns a comparison of Dynamic Discounting, Virtual Card, and Supply Chain Financing benefits.
• Supply Chain Financing includes a calculated benefit and an explanation of how the benefit was derived.
• The assistant recalculates the benefit when you change the payment extension period.
• Supply Chain Financing isn't available for supplier offer creation.

Validate Ad Hoc Virtual Card Offer Creation

Use this validation scenario to confirm that the Payment Options Assistant identifies Virtual Card opportunities, creates draft offers for eligible suppliers, and passes those offers to the Supplier Offers Assistant for review and sending.

1. Go to the Payment Options tab.
2. In the Ask Oracle bar, enter: Show upcoming payments for [Business Unit] in USD for the next 6 weeks for suppliers not enrolled in a payment program.
3. Enter: Calculate Virtual Card benefits for these suppliers. Review the results.
4. Enter: Create Virtual Card draft offers for [Supplier Name] and [Supplier Name].
5. Review the preview. Confirm the financing program, funding card account, payment method, and proposed payment term shown for each supplier.
6. Enter a modification, for example: Change the payment term to Immediate for [Supplier Name]. Confirm that the preview is updated.
7. Enter Confirm to create the draft offers.
8. Go to the Supplier Offers tab and enter: Show Virtual Card draft offers. Review the results, then approve and send one offer.

Expected Result

Verify that:

• The assistant produces a supplier-level offer preview.
• Changes to the preview are applied only when they're valid for all affected suppliers.
• Draft offers are created only after confirmation.
• The selected installments are soft-locked when the draft offers are created.
• The offer is sent only after you explicitly approve it in the Supplier Offers Assistant.
