Overview of Supplier Model Integration Types and Options
Several integration types and options are available in an Oracle Supplier Model integration.
Integration Types
Inbound
In this integration, supplier data is sourced from external systems and uploaded into Oracle Supplier Model.
Outbound
In this integration, the data stored in Oracle Supplier Model can be sent to various external systems.
Process Integration
In this type of integration, Oracle Supplier Model 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, when a supplier is created in Oracle Supplier Model, a relevant business event is triggered. When OIC detects this event, it sends requests to the external system with key identifying information for the supplier. The external system then returns enriched data for this supplier to Oracle Supplier Model through the Supplier REST resource.
