Best Practices for Using Procurement Contracts in Oracle Fusion

Hello Everyone,

I’m currently exploring Oracle Fusion Procurement Contracts and noticed there are multiple ways to use them — such as:

• Attaching a contract directly to a Purchase Order (in the Terms section),
• Using it in conjunction with Sourcing,
• Or managing it as a standalone contractual document for legal or commercial governance.

However, I’m curious to understand what is considered the best practice according to Oracle’s guidance.

👉 Should Procurement Contracts primarily be integrated with Sourcing and PO processes, or is there a recommended approach depending on the business use case (e.g., indirect vs. direct procurement, services vs. goods)?
