Simplify the Exchange of Invoices with Oracle Cloud Enterprises

There are two new message definitions available for sending and receiving invoices:

  • Oracle-1-0-B2B-Invoice-Out
  • Oracle-1-0-B2B-Invoice-In

These message definitions use the Oracle B2B messaging standard which enables you to exchange invoices directly with your trading partners, B2B service providers, and other Oracle cloud enterprises.

These messages provide additional options for you to exchange invoices with your trading partners and B2B service providers.

Steps to Enable

At a high level, there are two steps to enable these message definitions:

  1. Set up the message definitions with either a service provider or a trading partner directly.
  2. Associate the trading partner with your suppliers or customer accounts.

Set Up Message Definitions with a Service Provider or Trading Partner

  1. Select Manage Collaboration Messaging Service Providers or Manage B2B Trading Partners from the Tasks panel tab

  2. Search for the service provider or trading partner you want to set up.

  3. If you are sending invoices, on the Outbound Collaboration Messages tab, select the new outbound invoice message definition, Oracle-1-0-B2B-Invoice-Out, that you want to exchange with your trading partners.

  4. Associate a delivery method with the message definition and set the status to Active.
