Process Integration for Supplier Model

You can build an end-end process integration using the supported Oracle Supplier Model's integration methods and business events with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC).

Key Features

OIC has native capabilities to subscribe to the available business events. Supplier business events are automatically raised when the Oracle Supplier Model object is updated. OIC listens to the events and gets the enriched data.

Here's an example scenario:

The customer has been using Oracle Supplier Model to manage their suppliers and might need to enrich the supplier information with data from an external data provider. In this case, the customer can use the Suppliers REST resources and business events with OIC to request enriched data from the external data provider.

This is the process flow:

1. A new supplier is created using the Oracle Supplier Model registration process, which raises a business event called Supplier Created Event.
2. OIC listens for this event, uses the event attributes, and calls the Suppliers REST resources to retrieve key supplier information from Oracle Supplier Model.
3. OIC then sends this retrieved information to the external system to uniquely identify the supplier on its platform.
4. The external system sends the extra data for the identified supplier back to Oracle Supplier Model for data enrichment using the Suppliers REST resources.

Best Practices

For bulk import using file-based data import (FBDI), such as the initial loading of supplier data from a legacy system into Oracle Supplier Model, first disable the Enable Outbound Supplier Profile Integration Using Oracle Integration Cloud opt-in feature to avoid raising too many events.

Constraints

None.
