supplier approval in Oracle Purchasing
Dear all,
please advise some options for implementing supplier approval in Oracle Purchasing.
We need that until suppliers are not approved, no purchase order, blanket purchase agreement or sourcing RFG/Auction can be created for them.
We investigated and setup e-Records functionality for approving Approved supplier list (ASL) but there are some 'bottlenecks':
- you cannot add attachments to approved supplier list
- the status of ASL is not changed automatically after it is approved by last approver.
- ASL works only with master items (I mean the restriction of suppliers entered for item or category in ASL works only when you enter master items in purchasing documents, it does not work for one-time items (when only category is entered in purchasing document)
