The rest of the profile options will leave it with defaulted values.
We will build one case. Based on that we will define the categories and then will do the Category Mappings.
Case:
First we will have a Top level category (Root Category) called "Browsing Category". Under that, either we may
have multiple child Browsing Categories or Shopping Categories.
First we should create the bottom level category called "Shopping Category"

Outside Items ==== > Direct Materials ==== > Marketing Items
Now we will create one new item in Inventory module with new Purchasing Category and then will map that
Purchasing Category into our Shopping Category in iProcurement.
Lets create a new Purchasing Category called "Marketing Materials" in Inventory Module. To create the new
category, we need to add these new values into Value set. To find out that KFF and Value Set, follow the below
steps.
Navigation: Inventory > Setup > Items > Categories > Default Category Sets
Note down the category Set Name for the functional area "Purchasing"

Note: PO Item Category value set Validation Type is "Independent". So, what ever the values we are
adding into this value set, all values will display. But, the "Commodity" value set is "Dependent" value
set. So, We need to define the Dependent value from previous value set and then we need to add the
new value.
Now, add the another value "Items" in the value set "Commodity"
While adding the new value in the Dependent Value Set, we need to mention the Independent Value of
the previous value set. In our case, the previous value set is PO Item Category. So, we need to enter the
value from that value set.

In the above case, we have created the "Doyen Content Zone" and restricted by specific category
"Marketing.Items" and operating Unit "OM_Operating Unit". So, we can raise a requisitions for all the items
that belongs to "Marketing.Items" category without the Blanket Purchase Agreements.

You can set up information templates to gather additional information in Oracle iProcurement to pass
necessary order processing information to suppliers. When an information template is assigned to a category
or item, the application prompts requesters to provide the information specified in the template when the
item is added to the shopping cart. This information becomes a line-level attachment to the requisition.
For example, you can implement information templates for items such as business cards that require additional
information (name, address, e-mail address, phone) from the requester. Oracle iProcurement prompts for
name, address, e-mail address, and phone number when you order business cards. Each information template

must be associated with an Oracle Purchasing item or item category. If an information template is associated
with an item category, all items belonging to that category are also associated with the template.
Responsibility: Purchasing Super User
Define the Template Name and enter all the other details
Requesters can procure an item or service that is not found in the catalog. For these cases, they can use a non-
catalog request. The non-catalog request offers the ability to add an item or service to the shopping cart based
on a description of the item or service. Through the use of smart forms, companies can conveniently control
myneworacleapps.blogspot.com/2019/12/iprocurement-setup-document-and-its.html 25/61
6/21/2021 iProcurement Setup Document and it's basic flows in R12.2
both the list of fields and whether a particular field is enterable or pre-defined. For example, purchasing
organizations can lock-down the purchasing category for certain requests and thereby more accurately
categorize spend. Similarly, purchasing administrators can ensure spend is exclusively directed to preferred
suppliers, and default contract numbers achieve touchless buying.
The following figure shows the non-catalog request that requesters can enter. In the Item Type field, requesters
can enter goods billed by quantity, service billed by quantity, or goods or services billed as an amount.
In addition to this standard non-catalog request, you can create different smart forms and assign them to one
or more stores.
Oracle iProcurement provides a default standard smart form. The catalog administrator can create multiple
additional smart forms. For example, you can create a Computer Services smart form and an Office Services
smart form. Once these smart forms are assigned to a store, both appear for the requester to select from.
To use the single, standard smart form that Oracle iProcurement provides, you do not need to perform any
setup other than the profile options.
Responsibility: iProcurement Catalog Administration

A store enables you to group content zones and smart forms into a single, searchable store. The store should
be easy for requesters to understand - for example, a store containing all computer supplies or all office
supplies.
