Configure Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement

To enable seamless integration with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), perform these steps in Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement.

Create an Integration User

  1. Sign in as an application administrator.
  2. Create a dedicated user account for OIC.
  3. Keep the credentials and use them when configuring other OIC connections.

Assign the Required Privileges

Grant your integration user these privileges:

  • Enable a privilege that grants your user access to Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) data.
  • Assign an integration specialist role to the user.

    For more information, see Assign Required Roles to an Integration User.

Create and Assign a Custom Role for Supplier Update

  1. Copy the Supplier Manager (ORA_POZ_SUPPLIER_MANAGER_ABSTRACT) privilege.
    Note: Remove any unnecessary privileges and assign only the required privileges for your site’s subscriptions. For more information, see Advisory Note on Subscription Impact.
  2. Copy the Update Supplier Pending Spend Authorization Using REST Service (POZ_UPDATE_SUPPLIER_PENDING_SPENDAUTH_VIA_REST_PRIV) privilege, adhering to the guidance mentioned in Step 1. Add this privilege to the new role.

    This will allow the supplier profile to be updated with data from the external data provider when it's pending spend approval.

  3. Assign this new role to the integration user.

For more information, see Role Copying or Editing.

Configure Supplier Descriptive Flexfields (DFFs)

  1. Configure DFFs for POZ_SUPPLIERS by adding global segments to store enrichment data from the external data provider.
  2. Save and deploy the DFFs to make the new attributes available on supplier profiles.

For more information, see Overview of Descriptive Flexfields.

Enable Outbound Supplier Profile Integration

There's a need to share supplier data in Oracle Supplier Model with other systems. For example, when managing supplier information, you might send supplier updates to legacy systems, or automate integration with third party providers to enrich supplier data.

From the Procurement offerings configuration workspace in Functional Setup Manager (FSM), navigate to Procurement > Suppliers and select Enable Outbound Supplier Profile Integration Using Oracle Integration Cloud to allow integration with Oracle Integration Cloud.
