Oracle Fusion Suppliers - Setups

 Setups for Supplier Creation:

1.Specify Supplier Numbering - Here you mention if the Supplier Numbering is Automatic or Manual.

If it is Manual then Users have to enter in the UI, if its Automatic then the number gets Auto Generated.

2.Manage Supplier Type Lookup - Create and maintain the set of values that categorize suppliers for reporting purposes.

3.Manage Tax Organization Type Lookup - Create and maintain the set of values that categorize suppliers for tax reporting purposes.

4.Manage Supplier Products and Services Category Hierarchy - There are two types of categories that are used in the hierarchy are browsing categories and item categories. 

Browsing Categories: Browsing categories, also known as navigation categories, are created to structure the hierarchy and organize the underlying item categories so that users can navigate and select the most appropriate categories applicable to the supplier organization. A browsing category can either be a parent category, or a child to another browsing category. 

Item Categories: Item categories are categories from the Purchasing Catalog used during sourcing activities by the buying organization to find all suppliers that can provide a given item category. Item categories cannot be added as a parent category in the hierarchy, they can only be added as the last level in a branch, also referred to as the leaf level. 

5.Manage Supplier Value Sets: Used to define Supplier Value Sets under Common Supplier Entities

6.Manage Supplier Descriptive Flex fields:  Used to Create DFF at Supplier and Supplier Site level. We can not create Supplier DFF at Supplier Classification levels

7.Manage Supplier Bank Account Descriptive Flex fields: Fields for external bank account details on the payer payment attributes region.

8.Manage Supplier Messages: Messages provide users with information about business or application errors or warnings.Oracle provides a set of predefined messages that are stored in a message dictionary. You can create additional messages or modify the existing ones using the Manage Messages task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.    

Note: Don't delete predefined messages unless you're sure that they aren't used anywhere. 

9.Configure New Supplier Notification: Provide e-mail content and documents to be sent to suppliers when they are approved for spend.

10.Manage integration With Oracle Address Verification: Address Verification lets you verify and standardize addresses in your applications. For example, the service can correct misspelled city or street names, complete postal codes, and standardize abbreviations like Pkwy. The service takes your data and returns matches—one match or multiple matches—and you can select which version you want to use as the standard.

11.Manage Supplier Registration Value Sets: Contains Valuesets used for Supplier Registration process

12.Manage Supplier Registration Descriptive Flex fields: DFF used in Supplier Registration process

13.Manage Trading Community Person Descriptive Flexfields: Extra information Fields for person details. These details gets registered in HZ_PERSON_PROFILES table

14.Manage Trading Community Organization Site Descriptive Flexfields: Fields for party site details.

15.Configure Party Relationship for Supplier Match: Select party relationship types that will be used to perform duplication checks to retrieve potential matches during supplier creation. Parties with relationship types in addition to those defined here will be excluded from the search results.

 

16.Manage Enterprise Data Quality Matching Configurations:

 

 

For example, there is already a supplier created for 'Midtown Computer Supplies'. I performed a test of the configuration by entering 'Midtown' in the PartyName field and exercised the EDQ matching engine. No results were returned. I then tried 'Midtown Computer' and 'Midtown Computer Supplies' and still no results were found.

Then I tried another route. I navigated to the Register Supplier page and called the new supplier 'Midtown' and then 'Midtown Computer' but did not receive a supplier match warning message. Only when I enter 'Midtown Computer Supplies' is when an error message displays indicating a duplicate supplier exists. That said, I think the error message is separate from the supplier match feature. It is the same type of error message you receive when you enter a duplicate tax id.

17.Manage Business Classification Lookup: Manage the set of values describing the classifications used for tracking supplier diversity.

18.Manage Minority Group Lookup: Create and maintain the set of values that sub classifies minority owned suppliers.

19.Manage Certifying Agencies: Managing certifying agencies setup enables the buying organization to manage the authorized organizations that issue business classification certifications. Certifying agencies are maintained and associated with the applicable classifications that can be selected when creating a classification for a supplier. End dates can be set when the agency is no longer valid, to prevent it from being used on new classification records. The procurement application administrator can access this setup through the Manage Certifying Agencies in Oracle Fusion Setup Manager setup task.

20.Manage Geographies: Administer the geography hierarchies for different countries. You can define new, or manage existing, geography structures, geography hierarchies, and geography validations for a country. You can also copy the geography structure and hierarchy of a country from third-party geography data providers. This page also lets you enable address cleansing and geocoding for each country.

21.Manage Address Formats: It is perfectly possible to change address labels, to show/hide fields, and set the 'required' property using tools like Page Composer and Application Composer. You could also use the 'User Interface Text' feature to change field labels globally. However, in the case of Address fields there is a better option - using the task in Setup and Maintenance entitled 'Manage Address Formats'.

22.Manage Collaboration Messaging Configuration:  Enable or disable processing of documents attached to emails and retrieve supplier site details from a purchase order for a procure to pay inbound message.

23.Manage Collaboration Messaging Service Providers: View and manage setup details for a particular service provider.

24.Manage Approval Groups: Each approval group includes a set of users that you configure to act on tasks in a certain pattern. Tasks can be defined to get routed to an approval group instead of an individual user. 

25.Manage B2B Configuration
