How You Configure Supplier Negotiation PDF with Oracle Analytics Publisher

Configure the Negotiation PDF document sent to suppliers using a new Oracle Analytics Publisher (OAP) template and data model.

The template makes it easy to add or remove fields, change the layout, and other content in the supplier negotiation PDF to meet your business requirements. There are two seeded negotiation PDF templates available; one for suppliers, and one for internal users. This allows you to tailor a negotiation PDF document for suppliers different than the PDF for buyers and other internal users.

A new negotiation pdf template is now available for Suppliers, which publishes a significantly improved business document with advanced capabilities for customization.

In the Negotiation Controls section in the Edit Negotiation page, Overview step, Negotiation Layout for Supplier is added. You can select any custom supplier PDF template or use the available default template.

With fully customizable supplier specific templates you can create and send negotiation PDF documents, that reflect your company's business format and branding, and are recognizable to your suppliers. A well configured document can help with effective communication with your suppliers during the negotiation process.

Consider these when you Configure Supplier Negotiation PDF with Oracle Analytics Publisher:

  • When you opt in and select a Supplier PDF template, the PDF sent to suppliers in notification, or downloaded by suppliers from supplier portal will have the new layout.
  • Buyers will continue to view the Buyer PDF in the old layout. The Negotiation Layout is used to generate old Buyer.PDF.
  • Buyers can review the PDF sent to suppliers, Go to Actions > View > Supplier PDF.
  • A new OAP data model NegotiationPdfDataModel is created with new attributes, which can be used to add or remove fields in the new Supplier template.
