In order for your suppliers to be able to enter quality results for items on purchase orders, you first need to create one or more collection plans and associate them with either of the following two transactions:
Self-Service Shipments (Suppliers Management Portal) - associate your collection plan with this transaction when you want a supplier to enter quality results upon shipment.
Self-Service Outside Processing (Suppliers Management Portal) - associate your collection plan with this transaction when you have outsourced an Oracle Work in Process operation and want the outside processor (supplier) to enter quality results upon shipment. See: Supplier Access to Outside Processing Purchase Orders
You create collection plans for iSupplier Portal transactions the same way that you create them for other transactions, including defining collection triggers. See: Associating Collection Plans with Transactions. The collection elements that you define for the collection plan become the columns on the web page that you use to enter quality results.
Once a supplier enters quality results, the buyer (or whoever you choose) is notified. This notification is controlled by the QA:Self-Service Buyer Notification profile option. See: Profile Options. If the value of this profile option is null, no notification is sent.
