Redwood: Set Up Buyer Assignment Rules and Approved Supplier List Statuses

Use Redwood pages to manage buyer assignment rules and approved supplier list statuses in Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement.

On the Buyer Assignment Rules page, as a procurement administrator, you can create, update, view, delete, and test buyer assignment rules that automatically route requisition lines to the appropriate buyer based on rule criteria such as requisitioning business unit, procurement business unit, commodity, deliver-to organization, project, cost center, supplier, noncatalog request, and line amount. You can search for rules, review matching rule details, create rule sets, duplicate existing rules, and manage rules in a spreadsheet.

On the Approved Supplier List Statuses page, you can create, update, view, and delete statuses that describe the condition of approved suppliers. You can define statuses, assign a default status, and set end dates to control when a status becomes inactive.
