Integrated Supplier and Purchasing Information

Integrated information in Payables and Purchasing ensures consistency of information between applications and avoids the necessity of having to enter the information more than once.

Payables shares suppliers with Purchasing. You can enter a supplier in either application and use that supplier to create requisitions and purchase orders in Purchasing. Then, within Payables, you can create invoices for the same supplier and match the invoices to one or more purchase order shipments, purchase order distributions, or purchase order receipts.

In addition, Payables and Purchasing share the lookup values that you use during supplier entry. You can create values for the following lookup types in the Oracle Payables Lookups window:
