Procure Extended Contract Items

You can create requisitions for extended contract items in the Responsive Self Service Procurement application. Items associated with External Purchase Price lines are called Extended Contract Items. To view available items, click the Try Extended Contracts button on the Local Catalog Search Results page.

Try Extended Contract Button

Items matching your search are displayed in the list view format on the Extended Contracts page. You can review the details displayed for each item, such as the Supplier, Supplier Item Number, Manufacturer, and Manufacturer Part Number. Use the link in the description to view more details of the item.

Only description-based items are available for procurement in the Responsive Self Service Procurement application. These are items for which blanket purchase agreements haven't been created.

Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.

Offering: Procurement

If you want to use the Procure Extended Contract Items feature, then you must opt in to its parent feature: Procure Goods and Services Using the Responsive Self Service Procurement Application. If you’ve already opted in to this parent feature, then you don’t have to opt in again.

If you are opting in to the parent feature for the first time, to use the feature, perform these steps:

• In the Manage Administrator Profile Values task, set the value for these profile options:
  • Enable/Disable Search Ext Framework profile (Code: ORA_FND_SEARCH_EXT_ENABLED) to Yes.
  • Row fetch count for initial ingest process (Code: ORA_FND_SEARCH_FETCH_COUNT) to 100.
• Navigate to Tools > Scheduled Processes and then click Schedule New Process.
  • Search and Select process name: ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS
  • Parameter value for Index Name to Reingest: fa-scm-epp-lines

Tips And Considerations

• Requisition lines referencing extended contract items are always created as description-based lines with the Expense destination type.

• These attributes are derived from the External Purchase Price item definition and aren't updatable in the Responsive Self Service Procurement application:
  •  Item Description
  • Category
  • Price
  • UOM
  • Currency
  • Manufacturer
  • Manufacturer Part Number
  • Supplier
  • Supplier Site
  • Supplier Part Number.

• Requisition lines created using this feature can't be autosourced and need to be manually processed by the buyer.

• Requisition lines created using this feature are identified using the Item Source attribute with a value of Extended contract items. This attribute is also available for configuring your approval rules.

• You can't duplicate a extended contract item-based requisition line.

• Extended Contract Search Results and Product Details pages are enabled for business rule extensibility.

• Local Catalog Search Results, Extended Contracts Search Results, and Product Details pages are enabled for guided journey support.
