Redwood: Support Business Rules for Business Classifications in Supplier Registration

Supplier registration can have unique requirements based on factors like country and industry. If the information requested in the registration flow isn't tailored using these types of factors, it can be confusing and result in higher support costs with lower registration success rates. Such extensibility requirements are addressed using business rules in Oracle Visual Builder Studio, which now includes the Business Classifications page in supplier registration. You can make fields required or optional, read only or editable, and shown or hidden based on specific criteria.

For example, you can configure certifying agency, certificate number, and certificate start date fields to be required when the country is set to United States.

Supplier Registration Business Classification

With this enhancement, supplier registration is more personalized and efficient, reducing support needs and improving onboarding, while staying flexible and compliant with your organization’s practices.

Steps to enable and configure

Personalize supplier registration business classification fields by creating business rules in Visual Builder Studio using the express mode. To get started, in VB Studio, navigate to: Supply Chain Management (SCM) > Supplier Management > Registration – Start Page.

Tips and considerations

• Business classification extensibility is supported in all Redwood supplier registration flows. You can configure the specific registration template you wish to extend using the Business Rules conditions.
• If you have already published extensions on supplier registration pages, you can modify the existing rule or add a new rule within the same project workspace, depending on the business classification conditions you want to apply.
• Business classification attachments aren't supported for extensibility.
