SOAP Services (Outbound) for Purchasing

You can use SOAP services to create transactions in Oracle Purchasing.

Note: Oracle recommends using REST APIs rather than SOAP services.

Key Features

• Access the data available in the database in real time.
• You can use SOAP services to get purchase orders or change orders that have been implemented.
• Use Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) to perform near real-time operations.
• getpurchaseRequest returns details for a given purchase order header ID and requisition header ID, which are both required. The details might be from the purchase order, purchase order change order, or purchase order schedule.

Best Practices

REST APIs versus SOAP Services

SOAP services aren't recommended if an equivalent REST API is available.

Constraints

Low in performance and scalability compared to REST APIs.
