Orchestrate Purchase Orders

Supply Chain Orchestration uses a buy flow to create a purchase order, which is a document that starts a purchase process.

Here's how it works.

1. Supply Chain Orchestration receives a supply request from Order Management, Planning, or Inventory.

2. Decomposition processes the request.

3. Orchestration creates a supply order.

4. A fulfillment task creates a request to create the purchase order.

5. The interface sends the supply request to Oracle Procurement.

6. Procurement creates the purchase order.

7. A purchasing task tracks the purchase order.

8. The Overview page in the Supply Orchestration work area displays any exceptions that happen.

Orchestration can manage change that happens during a back-to-back buy flow.

• Create, update, or cancel a purchase order in Oracle Procurement according to a request from Order Management, Planning, or Inventory.

• Record and respond to business events in Procurement that happen because of changes that happen to supply. Orchestration might reply with a create or cancel. It might also reply with a request to split the purchase order, split purchase order lines, or split the schedule for a purchase order line.
