Define a Supplier Content Map Set

Supplier Content Map Sets convert data received from suppliers for values used by the application for punchout and agreement upload. They map external values of supplier, supplier site, unit of measure, and category to the corresponding internal values in the applications.

Create a map set before creating the category map.

  1. Within the application, navigate to the Manage Supplier Content Map Sets page from the Catalogs work area.

  2. Click Create in the Search Results region.

  3. Select the appropriate business unit from the Procurement BU list.

  4. Enter a name for the map set in the Map Set field.

  5. Enter a description in the Description field.

  6. Click Save and Close.

  8. Click the Manage Maps icon in the Manage Maps column.

  9. Click the Create icon in the Create column in the Category row.

  10. Select the Open with Microsoft Office Excel option.

  11. Click OK.

Next, enter the External Category and Internal Category Names.

In the example below the External Category column contains values from a punchout response or agreement upload file for Office Supplies and the Internal Category Column contains corresponding values used in the Oracle Self Service Procurement application.
