How to Handle Supplier Name Changes in Create Invoice API

Summary:

We are using the Create Invoice API in Oracle Fusion Cloud (Payables) to create invoices. As per the Oracle documentation (Create Invoice API), the API requires the Supplier Name instead of the Supplier ID (Vendor ID) for invoice creation.

However, since Supplier Names are editable, this raises a concern about potential mismatches if the name changes after the invoice is created.

• What is the recommended approach to handle supplier name changes when using the Create Invoice API?

• Is there a way to reference suppliers using Supplier ID (Vendor ID) instead of the Supplier Name in this API?

• Are there any best practices or workarounds suggested by Oracle to avoid issues related to supplier name changes in invoice creation?
