Acknowledgment Codes That Require Flexfield Setup

You need to configure flexfields on the purchase order header and purchase order line if you want your users to be aware of acknowledgments from suppliers that contain these codes.

Some acknowledgment codes can't be processed by Oracle Fusion Purchasing, such as:

  • Backorder

  • Item Hold

  • Item Substitution

  • Part Number Correction

  • Partial Backorder

  • UOM change

The XSL file for this predefined message definition, ORACLE_1.0_B2B_PURCHASE_ORDER_ACKNOWLEDGMENT, maps flexfields with the following API names to convey information about specific acknowledgment codes. You can configure flexfields with the same API names or modify the XSL and replace them with your flexfield API names.
