Planned to implement Iprocurement (12.1.3) with Direct Punchout to Supplier. Dont have the items mapped with Categroies and Categories (without reference to Items) is going to be included in the Blanket.Here is the proposed plan.
1. Blanket Order with multiple lines with Purchasing categroies (without reference to Item).
2. Mapping the Purchasing categories with Supplier's catalogs, UOM , etc in Ecommerce gateway.
3. Mapping the Purchasing Categories with Shopping categories and Category hierarchies.
4. Ordering the supplier catalogs through Punchout and checking out in the requisition.
5. Approval of Purchase requisition from Iproc.
6. Run Create releases and create approved release.
Here the question is
* Whether Iproc will support Local BPA or only Global BPA.
