Oracle Supplier Qualification Cloud Update 20D includes a new Supplier Initiative REST API. This in combination with the Oracle Visual Builder Add-in for Excel enables you to import a large number of suppliers to a new or existing draft initiative using an excel workbook.

Attached is a Visual Builder Excel workbook with pre-populated Initiative header and supplier attributes that can be used to upload multiple suppliers to an initiative.

You can use this workbook as is, or as a starting point to build a new integrated workbook tailored to your organization’s needs, and publish it to your end-users. Publishing creates a copy of the workbook with the design tools hidden and worksheet protection turned on for each worksheet with a layout.
