Oracle Fusion Supplier Import Process
The Supplier Import Programs can be used to import Supplier's information from external
systems into Oracle Fusion Applications using Open Interface tables. An organization may
need to use the Import Suppliers process under different circumstances:
It is first important to understand the setup of Business Units related to suppliers, as this
affects the way the import process works. Oracle Fusion Applications allows users to define
client - service provider relationships between procurement business units. A Procurement
Business Unit may act as a service provider offering procurement services for one or more
client requisitioning Business Units. Supplier Sites are always setup to be Procurement
Business Unit specific. Site Assignments are created to associate the Supplier Site with client
Business Units. These include both requisitioning business units and sold-to (payables)
business units.
The following are the four processes (actually ESS Jobs/programs) that are used to import
Supplier information:
Supplier Import functionality validates and imports the information loaded into the Supplier
Interface table and reports on any errors for suppliers that cannot be imported. Supplier
Administrators prepare the supplier raw data and upload it into the import interface tables.
The import process begins once the information is available in the interfaces tables. The
names of these tables is given below:
POZ_SUPPLIERS_INT
POZ_SUPPLIER_SITES_INT
POZ_SITE_ASSIGNMENTS_INT
POZ_SUP_SITE_CONTACTS_INT
