Oracle iSupplier Portal provides your outside processing suppliers with access to all of their current purchase orders. They can obtain detailed information on all of their purchase orders, including components, component attachments, associated operations, and operating instructions.

Oracle iSupplier Portal's Supplier Services opens a menu linking to the Orders tabbed window. From here you can query outside processing order information through the Manufacturing Orders tab. Shipment and distribution information is also displayed.

Viewing Outside Processing Orders

The information for outside processing orders displays standard and blanket outside processing purchase orders listed by purchase order number. Suppliers can view:

• Purchase order approval status

• Item number and description

• Job or schedule number

• Quantity ordered and delivered

• Date information

Access to purchase order details

Each purchase number is linked to Purchasing's Purchase Order Detail page displaying purchase order revision number, purchase order type (standard or blanket), order date, order total amount, ship-to location, carrier, currency, bill-to location, payment terms, freight terms, and status.

In addition, you can select the Invoice and Receipt buttons on the Purchase Order Detail page to see related invoices and receipt transactions.

Download Component and Operation Attachments and Instructions

If components have attachments, and if operating instructions are available, you can link to download the attachments and instructions, view them online, and print them.

Update the Promised Date

Suppliers can change the promise date through the Update Promise Date link. This automatically changes the promise date on the purchase order and notifies the buyer and production scheduler.

Download Quality Collection Plans and Collect and Submit Quality Results

You can provide your supplier with access to Quality collection plans. You must first create the collection plan in Oracle Quality and associate it with the Self-Service Quality for Outside Processing transaction. A link then is displayed in the QA Plans column. Selecting this link displays a list of the collection plans that are associated with that purchase order. You can choose to enter Quality results, to view Quality results that have been submitted, or to view attachments for any purchase order listed.
