Extending Next Generation Supplier Self-Service Registration

Supplier self-service registration can have unique requirements based on factors like country and industry. If the information requested in the registration flow isn't tailored using these types of factors, it can be confusing and result in higher support costs with lower registration success rates.

Tailor a seamless experience for your suppliers in the next generation supplier self-service registration by using Business Rules in Oracle's Visual Builder Studio. You can configure the Company Details, Contacts, and Addresses pages to make fields required or optional, read-only or editable, shown or hidden, and now set defaults based on specific criteria such as country. With business rules, suppliers can get a more tailored registration experience with reduced support resulting in better supplier on-boarding outcomes.

You can provide default values for these attributes on Company Details: Country, Organization Type, Supplier Type, and Note to Approver. For the following three attributes, use code as the default value. To find the code values, access the setup tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area:

Country: task Manage Territories. Example: US
Organization Type: task Manage Tax Organization Type Lookup. Example: CORPORATION
Supplier Type: task Manage Supplier Type Lookup. Example: SUPPLIER

In this example, you can configure the default values for company details attributes based on procurement BU. When users register for Vision Operations procurement BU, the default values will appear for Country, Organization Type and Supplier Type.
