Create a Spoke System for Each Integrating Application

Spoke systems (also called source systems) enable you to identify the source of data imported into or published from the Oracle Fusion Cloud application.

Data Selections

Use Spoke system filters to manage item entities and data that are published. The information in the table will help you set the scope of your integration by describing the entities and data you should select.

Data Selections	Options
Item entities	Publication Maps: Lets you filter the attributes that are needed for downstream applications. It's preferred because it generates a smaller payload only for the applicable attributes. See Define Publication Options for a Spoke System for information about the options that control the publication of item objects. Entities Selector: Lets you publish system IDs that are usually required for data-warehouse applications but aren't usually applicable to other integrations. See Rules and Rule Sets for information about selecting entities.
Data criteria	Selection Criteria: Lets you filter items based on business entities, such as item class and item organization. See the Publish Options section in Product Spoke Systems for more information about defining publication options, such as item class, trading partner item, and catalog publication criteria. Item Validation Rules: Lets you filter items using business validation rules. You can configure business rules to validate item data at a more granular level than you can with selection criteria. See the Validation section in Rules and Rule Sets for information about defining validation rules.
