trusted requesters who can be considered subject-matter experts to make quick and efficient purchasing decisions for
their company.
8. Enhanced Non-Catalog & Contractor Request Flows
Non-Catalog and Contractor request flows have been enhanced where the updated flow provides users with better
search capabilities to help them identify the appropriate category for their request and also offers more intuitive
choices regarding the possible source of supply.
9. New Supplier Creation for Spot Buy Purchases
New Supplier creation for Spot Buy purchases is a new feature where the spot-buy authorized user can also choose to
send an email to the prospective supplier inviting him to register on the company’s portal.
10. Web Services for Requisition Creation
Web services are introduced in iProcurement for requisition creation and importing requisitions.
11. Multiple PO Numbers in Requisition Summary page
In the requisition summary page multiple PO numbers based on the requisition can be viewed.
12. Ability to Identify Spot Buy Requisitions
Spot buy requisitions are emergency purchases and these need immediate attention. So, in this enhancement
approvers will be able to distinguish the spot buy request line with normal requisition line in notification and
summary page, which will help in decision making.
13. Line Number Generation while Requisition Import based on Need-By date
A new profile option allows user to sort and generate requisition line numbers based on need-by date, when the
requisition data from ASCP or MRP inserted into Requisition Import program. With these features, customers can
correlate the line numbers vs shipment numbers while creating purchase order releases. This will further help customers
to track demand based on need-by date.
14. Improved Store & Content Zone Search Options in Catalog Administration
To improve the efficiency of Catalog Administrators looking to edit Store & Content Zone settings, multiple search
criteria have now been provided to allow quick filtering to narrow the list of Stores & Content Zones.
15. Enhanced Spot Buy Configuration to Enable User Level Spend Threshold Limits
Spot buy requests are used generally for emergency purpose and the access to create this kind of request will be given
only for few users who have buying intent. So, with this enhancement administrator can specify threshold limits for the
combination of category and user. The user being the preparer of the requisition.
16. API Support for Purchase Requisition Cancellation
In addition to the existing public API for submitting changes to a Purchase Requisition (PR), a new public API is now
available to carry out PR cancellation. The API enables cancellation of individual lines on a PR or for the entire
requisition to be cancelled.
17. Intragovernmental Requests to Track Commitments against GT&C
As part of the federal G-Invoicing compliance requirements, the requisition process in iProcurement has been
enhanced to track commitments against each GT&C for intragovernmental requisitions and to enable IGT order
creation by selecting IGT requestion line(s). Federal users can create IGT requisitions by providing the required
GT&C, Requesting and Servicing agency reference information.
18. Enhanced Item Need-by Date Calculation
Buyers or catalog managers can now set separate default offset values to be used to calculate the need-by date for
different types of items, such as internal catalog, punchout, and non-catalog requests. This enhancement will allow
any lead time specified by a supplier to be used to calculate the need-by date for items returned from a punchout
catalog when the lead time is specified in the cXML shopping cart returned from the supplier.
I Supplier Enhancements
 iSupplier
1. Integration with Oracle Flow Manufacturing to View and Edit E-Kanbans
Oracle iSupplier Portal integrates with the E-Kanban feature of Oracle Flow Manufacturing. Suppliers can now use
iSupplier Portal to view a summary of their E-Kanbans and update the status on their E-Kanbans.
2. Cancelation of ASN Shipment Line Functionality for Suppliers
Previously, suppliers were allowed to cancel an entire shipment notice only before the receiving was completed for the
shipment notice. Individual shipments in the shipment notices could not be cancelled.
Now, suppliers can cancel individual shipments or lines after submission, and delete a shipment from the shipment notice
even after receiving, as long as those shipments have not been received.
3. New ASN / ASBN Barcode Report for Suppliers
After submitting an ASN / ASBN, suppliers can now download and print a shipment report and include it along with their
outbound shipment. The report lists all the contents of the shipment, as registered on the ASN or ASBN, and contains the
shipment number in a barcode format. Efficiency of receiving on the customer’s side will improve, because receiving
personnel now scan the barcode instead of having to search by manually entering the shipment number or PO number.
4. Enhancements to Work Confirmations
Work Confirmation Approval Workflow Enhancements
Two features of the Approvals Management Engine (AME) are now supported in the Work Confirmation Approval
Workflow to improve the completeness and usability of the approval process:
Request More Information
Forward Work Confirmation approval notification to another user
Current and Pending Approvers in the Action History Region
Users can view current and pending approvers if the Work Confirmation document is undergoing an AME approval
process. Approver details and the approval sequence are available in the Action History.
View Attachments During Work Confirmation Creation
The buyer can associate To Receiver attachments at the pay-item level during the authoring of Complex purchase
order documents. The creators and approvers of work confirmations can view the To Receiver attachments in the
purchase order. Viewing of To Receiver attachments during Work Confirmation creation is possible through the
Purchasing Professional Buyers Work Centre and iSupplier Portal internal view.
5. Supplier Broker/Representative User Account
A new Supplier Broker user account allows an individual user to be granted iSupplier Portal access to the details for
multiple unrelated supplier’s transactional details. The Broker User can be granted access to all the regular pages
within iSupplier Portal but is provided with additional fields to allow them to filter the transaction data or actions
they can take to specific Supplier/Sites.
6. Enhanced Password Security for iSupplier Portal Supplier Users
This enhancement provides improved password security to the external users of iSupplier portal. When the iSupplier
portal supplier user is created for the first time or if the password is reset either by the buyer administrator or supplier
administrator, a password generation link is sent to the supplier users which would remain active for a specified
period of time. Supplier users can visit this link to enter their new password.
7. Visibility to Related Contracts and Repository Deliverables
Supplier users can now view all related contracts in the context of a purchase order. This helps the supplier user
track/view related contracts like Master Service Agreements, umbrella agreements etc. In addition, supplier users can
now view all the repository deliverables in addition to the purchase order deliverables.
Purchasing Enhancements
 Purchase Enhancements
1. Spreadsheet-Based Authoring of Purchase Order Lines
Purchasing users can now use Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to create or modify purchase order lines, schedules and
distributions. At the purchase order header level, users can author lines, schedules and distributions in Excel and
import these additions into the document. This spreadsheet-based authoring uses Web ADI setup for users to specify
the columns and their order sequence of display for authoring the purchase order.
2. Enhancements to Purchase Order Business Service Object Web Service
The Purchase Order Business Service Object (BSO) web service has been enhanced to include:
Query of a purchase order document
The control actions Cancel, Close, Open, Close for Invoice/Open for Invoice, Close for Receiving/Open for
Receiving, Finally Close, Freeze/Unfreeze, Place on Hold/ Release and Delete
The update of a value to NULL with the help of special constants
In addition, the following Oracle Services Procurement features added in 12.2.4 are also now supported through web
services as well:
– Creating purchase orders with both schedules and pay items
– Linking Schedules to pay items
– Giving Advance as percentage
3. Configurable Defaulting Rule for Acknowledgement Due Date
Purchasing users can now configure an Acknowledgment Due Date offset, which will be used to calculate and
default the Acknowledgment Due Date when purchasing documents are approved. This will eliminate the need for
manual intervention in tracking supplier acceptances purchasing documents that are automatically created either
through AutoCreate or through the Create Document workflow.
4. Purchase Order Approval Notification Enhancements
Approvers of purchasing documents can view header-level attachments and the line-level charge account in the
approval notification.
Key features include viewing all types of header attachments and the charge account of the purchase order line in
approval, reviewer, signer and purchase order approval reminder notifications.
5. AutoCreate Multiple Requisitions to a Single Purchase Order
With the help of a new concurrent program ‘Create Standard Purchase Orders’, multiple requisition lines can be
automatically grouped to create a purchase order(s) based on parameters such as ‘Vendor’, ‘Source Document’,
‘Suggested Buyer’, ‘Currency’, etc.
Key benefits include:
– Group similar requirements and create a single purchase order so that buyers can have better visibility and track the purchase order more
effectively
– Optimize price in case of a release against a blanket agreement having a price break on Quantity.
6. Validate BPA Line Amount Agreed During Order/Release Submission
Purchase Orders and Releases are now validated against the BPA line amount agreed. The key benefit of this feature
is that the buyers can now control the total agreed amount even at the BPA line level.
7. User-Defined Attribute support for Purchase Orders
Customers can now leverage the UDA (User Defined Attribute) framework to set up attribute groups and then refer
to these groups in purchase orders to capture additional information specific to their business.
8. Improvements to Schedule Split Action for Professional Buyers
Buyers, using the Buyer Works Centre, can now split schedules and maintain backing requisition references on the
new schedule. Buyers can also change the Ship-To Organization on a completely open schedule – distribution
accounts will be regenerated as a result. Cancellation of a schedule will always recreate demand if the demand
(requisition line) is obligated using multiple schedules.
9. Ability to Populate VMI Flag in Manually Created Requisitions
Based on the VMI flag in the Item Master and ASL setup, manually created requisitions will now be updated as VMI
requisitions, which will then convert to standard Purchase Orders with the VMI flag. The demand from the Purchase
Order will be visible in collaborative planning for both supplier and buyer.
10. Global Procurement to Support Project-based Procurement
Organizations can now leverage the shared-service features that allow demand from separate business units within
the organization to be procured through a centralized buying function to be used for project-centric purchases as
well. Global procurement saves time, encourages knowledge resource sharing and overall reduce costs.
11. Global and Local Document Styles
The latest update allows for document styles to be localized and limited to specific Operating Units. This means that
if a document style has not been assigned an Operating Unit, it will function as a global template and can be used in
transactions across any OU. This feature enables the administrator to create or convert existing document styles,
making them available only for a particular Operating Unit. By doing so, the system can restrict document styles
based on OU while creating an award, thus providing more control over the award creation process.
12. Operating Unit-based Attribute Templates
In the Purchasing module, attribute templates can be utilized to input or save information that is specific to a
customer or supplier while creating procurement documents. This functionality has been improved to now support
attribute templates that are based on the Operating Unit. The templates for Orders and Agreements are connected to
the Operating Unit through the document style that carries a specific OU.
13. Operating Unit-Specific Information in Purchase Orders & Agreements
Multiple attribute templates can be created by administrators for Purchase Orders and Agreements, based on
Operating Unit. This feature allows organizations to have user-defined attributes in Purchase Orders, based on their
business needs. Users will only be able to view information relevant to a particular Operating Unit.
14. Pull Groups from G-Invoicing to Support Intragovernmental Transactions
The Treasury G-Invoicing system now supports Organization groups, which enable Federal Program Agencies
(FPAs) to create a hierarchical agency structure instead of a traditional flat model. When accessing the
Intragovernmental transactions (IGT) sent or received with the G-Invoicing system, Contract Lifecycle Management
pulls relevant information and usage data from these groups. Moreover, these groups can be established as securing
attributes, allowing for the validation of intragovernmental transactions.
15. Interface Intragovernmental Order Modifications to G-Invoicing
Users from the requesting agency have the ability to make changes to intragovernmental orders and submit them to
the G-Invoicing system for approval by the servicing agency. Once the modification is accepted or rejected by the
servicing agency, the updated information will be synchronized back to the requesting agency.
16. Supplier Merge Process Extended to Cover Suppliers with Open Agreements across Organizations
The Supplier Merge process has been updated to include suppliers with open Global Blanket Purchasing Agreements
(GBPA) that span across multiple organizations. The Merge program has also been improved to provide information
on the number of sites and Operating Units where the supplier merge should be performed to ensure a smooth merge
process.
17. Streamlined Standard Purchase Order Creation from a Blanket Agreement
The Buyer Work Centre has undergone some improvements to simplify the process of creating a Standard Purchase Order
from a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). Now, users can easily select specific lines from an agreement and with just one
click, generate a draft Purchase Order. This new method significantly reduces the number of steps needed to link a PO to a
particular agreement.
18. Intragovernmental Requisitions using Requisition form
As part of the new G-Invoicing capabilities, the forms-based requisition functionality has been improved to now support the
creation of Intragovernmental (IGT) requisitions in Oracle Purchasing. Users can now select the 'Intragovernmental' option
in the Requisition form to create IGT requisitions. Once these requests are approved and a commitment has been created,
the requisition line will be available to create an IGT order, which will then be sent to the Treasury G-Invoicing system for
the seller or servicing agency's acceptance.
19. Simplified Creation of IGT Orders from IGT Requisitions
The Demand Workbench in the Buyer Work Centre now has a new page that enables buyers to filter and select all approved
IGT requisition lines. This allows them to create IGT orders with ease. Once the orders are approved, they can be shared
with the seller or servicing agency through G-Invoicing for acceptance. This provides better visibility to all approved IGT
requisition lines and streamlines the ordering process.
20. Support for Seller Facilitated Orders (SFO)
A Seller Facilitated Order (SFO) is an Intragovernmental Order initiated by the seller/servicing agency. The seller will send
the SFO to the respective buying/requesting agency through the G-Invoicing platform for buyer acceptance. Our system
now allows you to easily pull any applicable SFO into Purchasing. Once pulled, it will automatically be created as an IGT
order in an incomplete status. This enables the buyer to review the order details and send it for internal approval.
21. Support for Authoring of Intragovernmental Orders through the G-Invoicing System
The Intragovernmental Orders interface program has been updated to allow for the automatic creation of IGT orders that have
already been authorized and approved in the G-Invoicing system. This means that federal agencies can now customize the
interface program to pull any of their approved orders from G-Invoicing. As soon as the approved order is imported into
Purchasing, the obligation entries will be posted automatically, and the performance transactions can also be pulled.
To make this happen, administrators will only need to set the ‘Create and approve IGT orders’ option to either E-Business
Suite or G-Invoicing, depending on which one is appropriate, in the G-Invoicing options page.
22. Ability to Close and Re-Open IGT Orders
The G-Invoicing system only permits the requesting agency to close an IGT order. However, buyers can now close an IGT
order if the order quantity is the same as the billed quantity. This change will be implemented in G-Invoicing to update the
status and can be accessed by the servicing agency.
In case an IGT order was previously closed, requesting agencies can create a modification to reopen it. The intragovernmental
orders interface program will then reopen the order in G-Invoicing.
Moreover, agencies can retrieve IGT orders that were closed using the G-Invoicing system. If Purchasing or CLM is used as a
financial record system, these closed orders will be updated to reflect the closed status.
23. Performance Transaction Integration with Receiving and Payables
The G-Invoicing system will now retrieve performance transactions from a servicing agency and integrate them into the
Receiving and Payables applications through the respective open interfaces. This integration process ensures that the proper
prepayment, receipts, standard invoice and credit note documents are generated based on the type of performance and FOB
point. The types of performance transactions that will be processed include Advance, Delivered Performance, Received, and
Adjustment Performance.
24. Summarised Tax Details Available on Purchase Order Approval Notification
The notification for purchase order approval has been enhanced to include the total amount of recoverable and non-
recoverable tax for each line item. This new feature empowers approvers to make informed decisions about
purchases that require their input. If needed, approvers can access the purchase document to view additional details
such as tax codes.
25. Return Unfulfilled Requisition Quantity to Demand Workbench
Buyers and procurement specialists now have a new option to return requested quantities that were not fulfilled back
to the demand workbench. This is particularly useful when a supplier is unable to deliver the complete quantity or
when there is a need to reduce the purchase order line quantity. With the new feature, buyers can simply use a
checkbox to initiate the return of any outstanding requisition quantity, making it easier to fulfil the demand in the
future. This eliminates the need to manually split and cancel a schedule, which was previously the only way to put
the demand back on the workbench for partially received schedules.
26. Ability to pull open in-flight orders from G-Invoicing and create as new IGT orders
The Oracle G-Invoicing solution now supports the bulk creation of new IGT orders from open in-flight orders in the
G-Invoicing system.
27. Ability to Support Treasury’s 7600EZ Process
The Oracle G-Invoicing solution has been improved to automatically generate a payable invoice from a settled
7600EZ invoice. The performance page of the IGT now allows users to accept or reject 7600EZ invoices, and this
information is then sent to G-Invoicing. In the event of a rejected or reversed invoice that has been settled, the
transaction will be transferred to AP to create a credit memo, which will initiate the refund process.
28. Administrative Change for Seller-Facilitated Orders (SFO)
Contracting officers and buyers can create admin modifications to SFOs and push them to G-Invoicing for approved
orders.
29. Ability to Outright Reject SFO
Contracting officers or buyers can now reject an SFO and push to G-invoicing without any changes to the order.
30. API Payload Migration to JSON for GT&V
The Oracle G-Invoicing solution is enhanced to support JSON payload apart from the existing XML payload for
GT&C.
