Is it required to fully configure Payables if we are implementing Purchasing?

  Hi,

Does anyone know if we need to fully configure Oracle Payables if we are implementing Oracle Purchasing?

I realise that there are some mandatory setups in Payables such as setting up suppliers but these screens are also accessible from Purchasing. We would prefer not to implement Payables as the Payables function will be done in an external system. Is this possible? Or is it required to fully implement Payables when you are implementing Purchasing?

Thanks for your help.
