This is not a comprehensive BR100, but this article will give you an outline of the steps to implement Oracle iProcurement using
Punchouts.

I will try to cover as many steps for full cycle iProcurement implementation using Punchouts. This is due to
email requests & the comment requests that I received to write something on iProcurement implementation.

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

What is a punchout?
In your iProcurement homepage, your suppliers can raise requisition to buy items like stationary. By punchout,
we integrate iProcurement with Suppliers website. From a users perspective below steps take place:-
1. Buyer logs into iProcurement Homepage
2. Buyer then sees various suppliers for which punchouts are enabled [depending on their security via realm &
secured attributes]
3. Buyer clicks on a stationary supplier and browser displays supplier’s website.

4. Buyer selects the items on supplier website and adds them to his cart.
5. Buyer checks out the basket from Suppliers iStore [website]

6. The items selected are brought in as “Shopping Basket in iProcurement”

7. Requisition is created in iProcurement and sent for Approval [can be auto approved].

Typical iProcurement Steps [assuming no encumbrances setup]

a. Create Requisition
b. Approve Requisition
c. Auto-create & auto-approve Purchase Orders for approved requisitions.
d. Send PO XML to Supplier [if approver is setup as trading partner for XML PO]
e. Create receipts for goods [optional depending on setup]
-----Other non iProc steps----
f. Supplier sends Invoice electronically [posts to your XML Gateway electronically]
g. Invoice is Matched, Approved & Paid

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

Account Generation for iProcurement Requisition

Decide the rules for your account generation. For this you will need to customize “PO Requisition Account Generator”. For
details of account generator implementation visit link Account Generation using Workflow .
You may also visit Rebuilding Generated Account in iProcurement 11.5.10 using OA Framework
PO Create Documents Workflow
In iProc you create Requisitions, which then get converted to a Purchase Order using workflow “PO Create
Documents”.
In this workflow, you must examine & modify the default values of following attributes[sample defaults values
listed below]:-
Is Automatic Creation Allowed -- Y
Should PO be created from iProc requisition without user intervention.

Is Automatic Approval Allowed – Y

Should Contract be used to auto create Doc ïƒ Y

Should non-catalog request be auto sourced from contract ïƒ Y

Is Contract Required on Requisition Line ïƒ N

There could be other attributes of your interest, but my implementation involved usage of contracts to create Purchase Orders. We
have a blanket contract against each iProc supplier. The values above for those attributes are merely indicative of one scenario.

PO Requisition Approval Workflow

Similarly for workflow “PO Requisition Approval”, assign a default value for attribute
Send PO Auto-creation to Background ïƒ N

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><!--[endif]-->

This means, as soon as a Requisition is approved, the creation of Purchase Order is kicked off [rather than wait for workflow
background process]
Charge Account Flexfield Display-Prior to 11.5.10
If you are not on 11.5.10, then you would be using AK Developer.
Prior to 11.5.10, You will modify below AK regions to enable region items POR_CHARGE_ACCT_SEG1...X [depending upon the
number of segments in your accounting flexfield.]
POR_BILLING_CHARGE_ACCOUNT_R
POR_BILLING_MULT_CHARGE_AC_R

You will also set the profile options to relate to those regions for Accounting KFF
POR: Edit Account Regions: POR_BILLING_CHARGE_ACCOUNT_R
POR: Multiple Account Regions: POR_BILLING_MULT_CHARGE_AC_R

Charge Account Flexfield Display-On or after 11.5.10

You can use personalization to decide which segments are visible in Accounting Flexfield in iProc. Hence you
no longer have to touch the “AK Developer”

Define Approval Groups

Define Approval Groups [In Purchasing super User]
For example, assuming the below approval groups is assigned to Buyer named Anil Passi, this approval group means that Anil Passi
can work on documents upto $5000, within all accounting range of Company and Cost Centre [because 00 to ZZ covers everything].
Similarly you may also exclude a range. In this implementation example, I am assuming one Approval Group per person. You could
have one to many relation too.

Once you have defined Approval Groups, you can use Approval Assignments screen to assign approval rules to Positions or Jobs
defined in HRMS.

Assign Approval Group

Effectively in this screen, you give ability to your buyers to Approve different document types like Requisitions, Blankets, Contracts
within the restrictions as they were defined in Approval Groups(prior step)

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

Define Document Types

The different attributes are self explanatory. Refer to Metalink for details.
The example in screenshot displays Document type for Purchase order, but the setup must be configured for other Document Types
being used too.
Define Line Types
You can define the default information for a line type. Line types can identify transactions involving goods, services, outside processing,
or any line type you define. They allow you to distinguish between quantity-based and amount-based transactions.

Note: When you have set the Line Types up you can go back and complete these Profiles Options, as in screenshot below:

Define Financial Options

In this screen, some of the fields are used for defaulting and some other fields for defining the behaviour of iProcurement/Purchasing.
The setup here is done per Operating Unit. Here within Accounting Tab, you specify accounts like Liability, Prepayment, Discount
accounts.
Also Specify the following here
- Whether supplier numbering is manual or automatic.
- Default payment terms for [say 1month], and default payment type like Electronic.
-Specify FOB, Default inventory location and ship to and bill to, freight etc
-Encumbrance :- specify whether you use encumbrance and the type
- Default tax code
-VAT registration number of Operating unit

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

Define Purchasing Options

Again, this screen is defined per Operating unit, and it drives defaults & various controls in Purchasing &
iProcurement.
Specify various controls like Min release amount , Price Break Type, Price Type(say fixed).
Define Accrual rules and Expense AP accrual account.
Define price tolerance rules, tax defaults & document type numbering.

Define Receiving Options

Various receipts related setup per Operating Unit, like Tolerance, Substitute Receipt Allowed.

Define transaction reasons

Your client specific setup, refer Metalink. Primarily this is an inventory function.

Define locations
The locations/Office Address where your suppliers will deliver goods and also send invoices.

Define Employees
Use this screen in PO if you do not have full HRMS Suite installed, in which case you would be using shared
HR installed [cutdown version of HRMS to support Purchasing].

Define Buyers
Define the people that can use Application to create and approve documents.

Category Search Display

Not needed for punchout implementations.
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

“XML Gateway” responsibility: Define Hubs

Use this form to define the hubs via which XML documents will be sent & received. If you are using Exchange for punching out, then
your setup will look like below

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><!--[endif]-->

XML Gateway Responsibility: Define Transactions

Here you indicate, the type of Documents you wish to exchange with your suppliers using XML

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><!--[endif]-->

XML Gateway Responsibility: Define Trading Partner

In this screen you will create a record for each Supplier with whom you wish to exchange XML Documents electronically.
For example, if you wish to send XML Purchase Orders to “Go 4 Gold Management Ltd”, then you will create an entry similar to
below. The connection can either be direct or via exchange server.

You will also capture trading party’s DUNS numbers in this screen.
During the implementations you usually use [Link].
The DUNS number for the supplier also needs to be entered in the EDI Location field against supplier site in Vendor Definition Screen.

The DUNS number for your implementation client needs to be entered in the EDI Location field on Other Details section of Location
form for Client location[lets say your client for which iProc is being implemented is “XX Machine Inc”].

Process PO 007 is an OAG standard that dictates the structure of XML document which your supplier will receive.

For those that do not know, PO007 is nothing but an Approved Purchase Order sent to the supplier. Its format is XML.
To see its structure, on your middle tier, review the dtd file as listed below. $PO_TOP/xml/oag71/003_process_po_007.dtd

Oracle Apps uses XML Gateway to generate the PO-007 file.

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

How is this PO 007 file generated?

FTP the xgm file to you PC from $PO_TOP/patch/115/xml/US/process_po_007.xgm

Open that file in XML Gateway Message designer

You will notice that message designer reads information from views like ITG_PO_HEADER_ARCH_V [Prior
to 11.5.10 it was PO_ECX_HEADER_ARCH_V]
iProcurement uses the XML Gateway engine in conjunction with PO-007 message definition to generate PO007
XML document.

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

Configure your Exchange setup

Given that in this setup, we will use Oracle’s exchange server to send PO Documents to supplier, hence we need to enable this
Document Type[PO 007] in exchange[for the company implementing iProc]

Logon to [Link] or the testexchange

Navigate to Application Setup tab/ Transaction Delivery
Select the document type PROCESS_PO_007 and edit
Set the communication method and click Apply

Your Supplier will have to register on Oracle Exchange Server too.

To begin with, during implementation, each supplier must register themselves on [Link]
Your supplier does the below:-
Clicks on Registration on testexchange, and selects the option to register as an affiliate of your client.
Say your client is “XX Machine Inc”, hence your supplier will search & select “XX Machine Inc”. Supplier will be prompted
to enter further details.
Following this, your client will have to approve the request for Supplier’s registration.
Supplier Enables PROCESS_PO_007 for themselves on the Exchange
The sequence of flow for PO 007 in this case is…
XX Machine Inc-->PO 007-->Exchange server-->Supplier

Hence Supplier needs to enable “PO 007” for themselves on the exchange server
For this your Supplier does the below steps:-
Login to the testexchange (i.e. [Link] after testing during goLive).
Clicks on Transaction Delivery under Company Administration
Selects Sales Order Outbound (PROCESS_PO_007) [going out from Exchange, becoming sales order in Suppliers System]
Under transaction type they select delivery method HTTPS etc
They specify their URL on server which where exchange will post the PO 007 XML doc.... [Link]
They also need to specify other connection details to their server like port number, userid password etc.
Exchange server will use those credentials to connect and post the XML PO Document[PO 007]

Note: Oracle Exchange supports various protocols like http,https,smtp . The supplier selects a protocol based on the protocols their
server supports.

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->Supplier Enables themselves for PunchOut on the Exchange Server

Oracle supports both cXML ad XML punchouts. Hence the supplier must support one of these two options.
Supplier does the following steps to enable punchouts:-
Logs in to TestExchange Server or the Exchange Server
Clicks on “setup punchout”
Enters their punchout URL, userid password for their iStore.
Select XML or cXML and then clicks on APPLY.
Supplier can then test whether their punchout setup works by punching out to their iStore from testexchange/exchange.

”XX Machine Inc” reviews suppliers Punchout

Client “XX Machine Inc” logs into testexchange or exchange server, and navigates to “Control Punchout Access” and
accepts Suppliers Punchout definition.

”XX Machine Inc” makes Oracle EBS aware of the Punchout setup
It is possible that with some suppliers, you would like to Punchout to their iStores via exchange, and for the other suppliers you may like
to punchout directly to their iStore.
I am detailing both the scenario’s below.

Scenario 1 Use the Supplier punchout definition from Exchange

Navigate to Internet iProcurement Catalog Administrator.

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><!--[endif]-->

As in picture above, by downloading[click on download], you will bring into Oracle, all the Punchout Suppliers that are enabled for your
business in exchange.

Scenario 2 Create Supplier punchout definition directly in Oracle Apps eCatalog Mgr

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><!--[endif]--> If you were not to be using Exchange, then you will have to create the Punchout
definition from scratch in Oracle Apps itself.
For this, click on “Manage Content” in responsibility “Internet iProcurement Catalog Administrator”
Click on create catalog

Select Punchout catalog and click on continue

As in picture above, we select Supplier and Direct Punchout.
Given that you are creating Punchout definition of the supplier from scratch straight in Oracle Apps, you then need to enter information
in below fields like Punchout URL, Encoding Method, password etc.

NOTE: As you may have noticed, effectively we are trying to create a punchout definition in Oracle Apps…either by downloading the
Supplier’s punchout definition from exchange or by directly creating the Punchout definition in Oracle Apps.

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->Display the punchout site on iProcurement Homepage

This will be the last step. You need to define a store that is attached to the punchout catalog definition.

For this Click on create store in responsibility “Internet iProcurement Catalog Administrator”
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

This finishes the punch-out setup with your Supplier.

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

Further notes:-
1. Your suppliers punchout basket may contain items with UOMs that are not defined in Oracle Apps inventory module. In this case,
you must navigate to responsibility “eCommerce Gateway” and define those mappings using menu “Code Conversion
Values”
2. As per the OAG format, the item category used in punchout baskets is 8 digit UNSPSC code. Effectively UNSPSC code is a global
code for item categories. However in Oracle EBS, we implement Item Categories using Key FlexField for Item Categories. For a 3
segment Item category flexfield in inventory, your item category may look like [Link]. This value of [Link] must be mapped with
the UNSPSC codes that your suppliers will be sending for their item categories. This definition is mapped in the same screen under
“eCommerce Gateway”.

Hi Anil,

Excellent article , I had been looking for such a detailed explanation for a long time. My interests into Oracle all started with i
procurement training to superuser and then moving on to understand other Oralce modules.
I have gone through the article today more than 3 times and everytime i read it , i feel im catching important features one at a time,
which is quite obvious for a beginner like me.

Hope to meet you some time in the future for you excellent article:-)

If you can pls help me out on Advanced Pricing. I want to know if it is possible to invoice the customer with the List price and whatever
India Localized taxes are applied are not added up along with the List price. The List price is not the Unit Price but the Selling Price in
Order Management. Also i want to enforce price list but discounts should be applicable but this is not working even after setting the
profile option OM: Discouting Privelege to Unlimited. Your feedback will be a big help to me

Hi Anil
Really nice doc. My client is implementing punchout with 2 suppliers. Client is asking how to punchout the inventory items. i.e. when we
submit the shopping cart in supplier site it directly comes to iPro shopping cart and with e-commerce gateway category mapping but
where supplier and inventory item is tied. Is it a standard functionality to procure inventory item through punchout.

written by Anil Passi , July 31, 2007
Hi Jaihind

Been long time now since I worked on iProc.

I think When you punchout, the Supplier Item Item is brought into iProcurement.
At the time of PO Creation, if that Supplier Item Number had ever been associated in invetory_item_id in PO_LINES, then the same
inventory item will be defaulted for new line.
So try this
Step 1. Create a PO with Supplier Item Number and a specific Inventory Item
OR
Step 1. Create a relation between supplier item number and inventory_item_id
--Approve PO
Step 2. Create an iProc requisition for the same Supplier and same Suplier item number
Create a PO for that req

Also check for concurrent program "Catalog Data Extract Classifications and Items" and tables icx_por_items,
ICX_CAT_ITEMS_B and ICX_CAT_ITEMS_TLP in documentation

Anil Passi

Your network team should open the firewall port.

If you are punching out via exchange, then simply open the firewal for [Link]

However, in case of direct punchouts, you will have to open firewall ports for machines of each of your punchout suppliers

Changes made to cXML_OrderRequest.xgm not getting reflected
written by MSAMTD , December 07, 2007
Hi:

If anybody can help me in figuring out the below issue regarding XML Gateway Message Designer, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Trying to add a addressID in Linelevel of PO XML (cXML_OrderRequest.xgm)

1) copied the Map from the server

2) Opened the Map using Latest Version of Gateway Designer. ([Link].0)
3) Mapped the AddressID at the linelevel
4) Uploaded the Map back to Server by physically placing the file and also through LoadMap command.
5) Verified by making sure that the changes in the map are saved by downloading it and also verifying the timestamp in
ECX_MAPPINGS table.
6) Restarted the WF Agent Listener.

7) Went to Autocreate the PO and looked at XML in Workflow / OSN but cannot see the modifications.

Can anybody let me know if I'm missing any steps here.
