How You Configure Expense Requisition Fulfillment for Agreement-Based Catalog Items from Internal Sources

As an administrator, you can configure Oracle Fusion Cloud Self Service Procurement to fulfill expense requisitions for agreement-based catalog items from internal sources.

Normally, when a user requests a catalog item that's sourced against a blanket purchase agreement, the application purchases the item from the agreement supplier, even if the item is also available through internal material transfer. In certain industries, such as healthcare, the requester's expectation is when they order supplies or equipment the items are sourced first from an internal warehouse. To meet the needs of this type of organization, you can enable the Fulfill Expense Requisitions for Agreement-Based Catalog Items from Internal Sources feature. Then the application fulfills expense requisitions for such items from internal sources, when the items are both available internally and purchasable against a blanket purchase agreement.

In the Offerings work area, enable the Fulfill Expense Requisitions for Agreement-Based Catalog Items from Internal Sources feature in the Procurement offering, Purchasing functional area.

The Internal Material Transfers feature must also be enabled.

After the feature is enabled, when a requester shops for an agreement-based expense item from the catalog:

  • Their requisition for the item is fulfilled through an internal source, even if the item is also purchasable against a blanket purchase agreement.

  • They see the blanket purchase agreement price for the item when searching and shopping. When they add the item to the Cart, the price may change if the internally ordered price for the item is different.
