Use Supply Chain Orchestration to Add New Requisition Lines to Open Purchase Orders

You can add a new requisition line to an open purchase order instead of creating a new one. Consolidate and maximize your open purchase orders. Avoid having unnecessary purchase orders for each of your suppliers.

Use this feature when an Oracle application sends a request to Supply Chain Orchestration. The request asks to create a purchase request so the Oracle application can get goods or services from your supplier. Use this feature with these Oracle applications:

  • Oracle Planning
  • Oracle Order Management
  • Oracle Inventory Management
  • Oracle Manufacturing

This feature automatically manages change that happens on each purchase order and in the Oracle application. It keeps your purchase orders, sales orders, and work orders synchronized with each other.

Here's how it works:

  1. The Oracle application sends a request to Supply Chain Orchestration to create a purchase request.
  2. Supply Chain Orchestration sends a request to Oracle Procurement, and Procurement creates a purchase request.
  3. You add the purchase request to an open purchase order.
  4. Supply Chain Orchestration automatically manages each change that it receives from the Oracle application. It automatically keeps the purchase orders, sales orders, and work orders synchronized in your back-to-back, contract manufacturing, and outside processing flows.

You don't have to enable the Use Supply Chain Orchestration to Add New Requisition Lines to Open Purchase Orders feature, but there is another feature in procurement that you do have to enable. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Setup and Maintenance work area, select the Procurement offering, then click Change Feature Opt In.
  2. On the Opt In page, Expand Procurement.
  3. In the row that has Purchasing in the Name column, click the pencil.
  4. Enable the Add New Approved Requisitions to Existing Open Purchase Orders feature, then click Done.

Notes

  • You can add a purchase request for planning or min-max processing to any open purchase order.
  • If you need to add a new requisition line to an open purchase order, then disable the Automatically Generate Orders option in the blanket purchase agreement for your item.

You can add a purchase request:

  • In your back-to-back flow to any open purchase order except one that involves contract manufacturing or outside processing.
  • For contract manufacturing only to a purchase order that's open for contract manufacturing.
  • For outside processing only to a purchase order that involves outside processing.
