Oracle Purchasing enables the
automatic creation of Sourcing Rules, Sourcing Rule
Assignments and Approved Supplier
List entries during Blanket Agreement approval
submission. The system
automatically creates the relevant entries, once the Blanket
Agreement is approved
1) A new Profile Option "PO : Allow Auto-generate Sourcing Rules and ASL" has
been
introduced. The default value is
'None'. In order to activate this feature, the profile option
value needs to be set to either
"Create Only" or "Create and Update".
If the value is set to
"Create only" then the "Enable Automatic Sourcing" checkbox
and
the "Release Generation
Method" field are visible and can be updated on the Approval
window.
If the value is set to
"Create and Update", then the "Enable Automatic Sourcing"
Checkbox, the "Update
Sourcing Rule and ASL Entries" checkbox and the "Release
Generation Method" field are
visible and can be updated on the Approval window.
Note: If the Archival mode being
used for Blanket Agreements is "Archive on Print", this
feature cannot be used and the
new fields and checkboxes would not be visible in the
Approval window. User must select
"Archive on Approve" to use this feature
2. Sourcing Rule Name Prefix can
be customized. The prefix value is read from the
activity attribute "PO
Sourcing Rule Name Prefix" in PO Approval Workflow. The
default value is
"PURCH".
Note: The new Sourcing Rules will
be assigned
