Steps to Enable

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 leverage the Use Extensibility Capabilities feature, then you must opt in to one or both of these features:

  • Enable the Redwood Version as the Default Self Service Procurement Application: Makes the Purchase Requisitions (New) work area available to all your users, and hides the Purchase Requisitions work area from all your users.
  • Procure Goods and Services Using the Redwood Self Service Procurement Application: Keeps the Purchase Requisitions work area available to all your users, and makes the Purchase Requisitions (New) work area available to the users who are assigned this privilege: Manage Requisition with the Redwood Self Service Procurement Application (POR_MANAGE_REQ_WITH_PWA_PRIV).

If you’ve already opted in, then you don’t have to opt in again.

Tips And Considerations

  • VB Studio: You should extend the Redwood Self Service Procurement application in Express mode only.
  • Extensibility is limited to the features mentioned in the Extending the Redwood Self Service Procurement Application document. Don't make other extension changes, as they won't be compatible with future updates, and the pages won't render correctly.
  • The base application for your Oracle Cloud Instance is Procurement. You will need this while creating a project to extend your application.
