Oracle iSupplier Portal is a collaborative application that enables buying companies and their suppliers to communicate with each other. It enables suppliers to have real-time access to information (such as purchase orders and delivery schedules) and respond to the buying company with order acknowledgments, change requests, shipment notices, and planning details. It also allows buying organizations to search for order, shipment, receipt, invoice, and payment information across all suppliers and all business units, as well as respond to supplier change requests.
Note: Oracle iSupplier Portal supports both transaction documents and view-only documents. Using transaction documents, you can submit acknowledgments or change requests on a Purchase Order, or initiate transactions such as advance shipment notices, advanced shipment billing notices, and invoices. Using view-only documents, you may view forecast schedules and payments.
