Using these configured rules based on the defined company supply policies, the application processes the demand requirements, determines the correct allocation to one or more suppliers, and creates purchase orders without any buyer intervention.
The newly created purchase orders flow through approvals and if needed, budget checks to enforce compliance.
The procurement documents are then delivered to suppliers via fax, email, XML, EDI or the Oracle Supplier Network.
Exceptions are sent to the appropriate person for resolution using workflow, allowing reporting of exceptions, and measurement of responsiveness.
