Overview of Integration Types and Options
Several integration types and options are available in an Oracle Purchasing integration.
Integration Types
These integration types are available in Oracle Purchasing.
Inbound
In this type of integration, purchasing data is sourced from external systems and uploaded into Oracle Purchasing.
Outbound
In this integration type, the data stored in Oracle Purchasing can be sent to various external systems.
Process Integration
In this type of integration, Oracle Purchasing might send data and receive data updates from external systems in a single transaction and in an orchestrated manner. You can build a well-coupled, end-to-end automated process by stringing the inbound and outbound integration processes using the business events and REST APIs with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) functionalities.
For example, Oracle Purchasing publishes that a purchase order was implemented to an external system. The external system listens to that event and then calls a REST API to acknowledge the purchase order.
