Externally and Internally Managed Requisitions

Purchase requisitions you work with in Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement are either externally or internally managed.

Externally managed requisitions are third-party requisitions created through the purchase request web service, or requisition import. Integrating applications can request changes to these requisitions through the web service. Important points to consider about externally managed requisitions are:

• They are created with an approval status of approved.

• They aren't accessible in the Purchase Requisitions work area.

• For those requiring manual processing into a purchase order, you can manage them using the Process Requisitions and View Requisitions Lines tasks. You can find the tasks in the Purchase Agreements or Purchase Agreements work areas.

Important points to consider about internally managed requisitions are:

• They can be created using the Purchase Requisitions work area, by the purchase request web service, or by requisition import.

• They can be created with an approval status of approved, or incomplete.

• They are accessible in the Purchase Requisitions work area.

• For those requiring manual processing into a purchase order, you can manage them using the Process Requisitions and View Requisitions tasks. You can find the tasks in the Purchase Agreements or Purchase Orders work areas.

Internally and externally managed requisitions can also be created using File Based Data Import. However, not all externally managed requisitions can be created using file import. Only the contract manufacturing and shipping method are available in file import.
