Change Requests and Approvals
As of release 23C, the Oracle web services do not currently respect the ‘Configure Supplier Registration and Profile Change’ configuration.
This could potentially be an issue on your specific instance. Careful testing, together with a thorough review of any implications relating to this lack of functionality, should be undertaken.
More4apps will monitor and test subsequent Fusion releases to ascertain whether this behaviour is changed in the future.
Sites & Site Assignments cannot be uploaded when creating ‘Prospective’ Suppliers
As of release 23C, Suppliers must be ‘Spend Authorized’ before they can have Sites and Site Assignments added to their record.
We suggest the following upload approach:
1. Populate all Supplier information in the worksheet, including Sites and Site Assignments.
2. Leave the Upload Action blank in the Sites and Site Assignments section.
3. Upload the Supplier record along with the Spend Authorization information to launch the approval workflow.
4. Once the supplier has been spend authorized populate the Upload Action in the Sites and Site Assignments section with ‘Create’.
5. Upload the record(s).
Assignment, Creation and Update of Payment Methods and Attributes not currently supported
Currently, we are unable to support the assignment/update of Supplier/Site Payment Methods or the creation/update of Supplier/Site Payment Attributes.
Oracle has provided REST web services for these fields, but they are not easily relatable to the fields available in the Supplier web service: this means that the development of upload and download processes for these records via the Supplier Integrator would be extremely complicated.
We may investigate alternative methodologies to provide this functionality if customer feedback indicates that this would substantially improve the useability of the Integrator.
Creation and Assignment of Bank Accounts not currently supported
Currently, we are unable to support the creation/assignment of Bank Accounts against Suppliers/Sites.
Oracle has provided REST web services for these fields, but they are not easily relatable to the fields available in the Supplier web service: this means that the development of upload and download processes for these records via the Supplier Integrator would be extremely complicated.

DFFs not supported at Address or Contact Levels
While the Fusion web services document that these are available to view, as of release 23B they are not supported for uploads.
DFFs - Searchable LOVs
Due to the inability to run SQL dynamically in the Integrator, we are not able to provide searchable LOVs.
The Integrator’s DFF forms support LOVs for both dependent and independent DFF segments. However, table-based LOVs are currently not supported.
Download of Attachments not available
As of release 23B, we are unable to download attachment information into the Integrator: this is due to an Oracle web service error.
More4apps will monitor and test subsequent Fusion releases to ascertain whether this situation is resolved in the future.
Shipping Method values do not download
As the value in the Shipping Method field is a concatenation of the Carrier, Mode of Transport and Service Level fields, it cannot be downloaded as a single value. Therefore, it is not possible to provide this field in the Integrator.
Address Uploads ignore Fusion address configuration
As of release 23C, any address data can be uploaded irrespective of the address configuration in your Fusion instance. We anticipate this omission may be resolved by Oracle in the future. In the meantime, you may need to implement your own Address data quality checks post upload.
