The Supplier Integrator can be used to update a Supplier’s ‘Business Relationship’ field value to ‘Spend Authorized’.
To do this, ensure you have the separate ‘Spend Authorization’ section present in the Integrator.
Download the Suppliers that need to be updated (see steps in the ‘Downloading Scenarios’ section below) and enter ‘Yes’ into the ‘Spend Authorization’ column. If required, also enter a free text value into the ‘Justification’ column.
Enter ‘Update’ or ‘Update records’ into the ‘Supplier Upload Action’ column, depending on whether you are updating any other sections at the same time, and upload the record.
The Supplier will then display with a Status of ‘Pending Approval’ in the ‘Supplier Spend Authorization Requests’ section in the Oracle UI Suppliers Overview form. These uploaded records will then need to follow your usual approval process. Once that has completed, the ‘Business Relationship’ field will have been updated to ‘Spend Authorized’.
