Use Rule Sets for Approved Registration Requests

You can create a rule set to use when registration requests are approved.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Supplier Qualification Rule Sets task:

   • Offering: Procurement

   • Functional Area: Supplier Qualification

   • Task: Manage Supplier Qualification Rule Sets

   In the Manage Rule Sets page, go to Create Rule Set page. The application defaults to a registration rule set, so click the link for the registration approval rule set type. On the Create Rule Set page, enter rule set header information: Rule Set to specify the set name and optionally enter a description for the set. Select a Procurement BU.

2. Click Add Condition. On the Add Condition dialog menu appears, enter Condition Type. You have two options:

   • Always displayed - if you choose this option the questions are always included in the questionnaire created by the application.

   • Response dependent. - If you choose a response dependent condition, you continue to Create Condition and enter:

     • Supplier Profile Attribute - you select this from the list of attributes. You can use this field and the following two fields to create a condition based on a supplier profile attribute.

     • Operator - a logical operator )=, <, >)

     • Value - a value appropriate to the supplier attribute. You choose a value from the list of values. The values you can choose from depend on which attribute you selected.

     • Registration Source - you can choose to have the condition apply selectively based on the source of the registration request:

       • External - an external registration originates when a supplier self-registers using your registration web page.

       • Internal - an internal registration request originates when

         • A category manager submits a supplier registration request while defining a sourcing negotiation.

         • A requester submits a supplier registration request from Oracle Self Service Procurement.

         • A buyer submits a supplier registration request.

3. When you're finished defining the condition, click OK.

4. Once you've defined the condition, highlight it and click Add Qualification Areas. Here you specify which qualification areas are used when the condition you specified is met.

   You can search by Procurement BU or a qualification area name. A search on Procurement BU returns a list of qualification areas owned by the BU. A search by qualification area name returns any qualification area (multiple areas if you use a partial search value).

5. When the search results display, select the row for the qualification area you want to use and click Apply. Note that you can select multiple qualification areas if needed.

   If an icon appears in the Question Branching column for a particular qualification area, it indicates that there's at least one question in the area that has branching. If you click the icon and follow the navigation, on the Question Branching page, you can expand the question to see the branching information.

6. When you've finished selecting your qualification areas, click OK.

7. When you've entered the qualification area information for your registration approval rule set you're creating, click Save and Activate.
