How You Create Purchase Documents Externally

If you're using legacy purchasing application other than Oracle Purchasing to create purchasing documents, you use the Negotiation Award Web Service to generate the OAGIS award XML file and pass this file to the external purchasing service.

The external service processes the XML file and creates the purchasing documents in the legacy purchasing application.

Using an External Purchasing Application

On the Purchasing Documents page, clicking Export Purchasing Documents calls the Award Web Service and the application passes the purchase information to generate the .xml file. The Award Web Service passes the xml file to the external purchasing application for processing. Once the purchasing documents are created in external legacy purchasing application, you can run another web service, Update Purchasing Document Numbers which imports the external purchasing document numbers and the links you can follow to view the full details of the externally created purchasing documents in the legacy application.

Viewing the Purchasing Document

After the external processing is complete, you can return to the Purchasing Documents page and click the external purchasing document link to view the corresponding purchasing document details in the legacy application. The values in Purchasing Document column are internally generated within Oracle Sourcing to uniquely identify these purchasing documents within Oracle Fusion. The values in external purchasing document column are the actual purchasing document numbers in the legacy purchasing application
