REST APIs (Inbound)

Use REST APIs to integrate with Oracle Supplier Qualification Management.

A comprehensive set of REST APIs is available for customers and architects of integrating systems to view, create, update, or delete records for their real-time integration requirements.

Key Features

  • Use these REST APIs for real-time integration requirements for initiatives, questions, question responses, and supplier eligibility.
    • Supplier Initiative REST resource: View, create and launch initiatives.
    • Supplier Qualification Questions REST resource: View, create, update, and delete questions.
    • Supplier Qualification Question Responses REST resource: View, create, and update question responses.
    • Supplier Eligibility REST resource: View, create, update, and delete supplier eligibility records.
  • Perform actions on both a single-item or collection.
  • BATCH is supported for UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, and GET operations.
  • Perform custom actions, such as create a Question draft revision and launch an initiative.
  • Use REST APIs to achieve end-to-end process orchestration.

Best Practices

  • Use REST APIs if you need to perform near real-time mode operations in Oracle Supplier Qualification Management.
  • For questions, limit the total number of branches to a 5-level maximum.

Constraints

  • REST APIs don't allow the return of more than 500 records in a single call. You can paginate through the entire set using the offset and limit parameters.
  • Supplier Initiatives
    • For large initiatives, the maximum number of suppliers is 400. The maximum number of qualifications, which is the number of suppliers times the number of qualification areas, is 2,000 per initiative.
    • Internal survey initiatives aren't supported.
    • PATCH isn't supported for initiatives; only POST is supported.
  • Supplier Qualification Questions
    • The maximum number of acceptable responses can't exceed 500 per question.
    • Questions mapped to supplier attributes aren't supported.
    • Responses to Text entry box question-type questions can't exceed 4,000 characters.
    • Internal survey questions aren't supported.
