Oracle Credit Management integrates with Dun & Bradstreet, which maintains a growing global database of more than 60 million businesses worldwide. With this integration, you can retrieve D&B credit information for a customer or prospect, thereby extending the accessibility of critical credit information beyond your own historical data.
Information that you purchase from D&B can be added to credit checklists as data points. During a credit review, Credit Management automatically includes those D&B data points in the case folder. See: Adding Dun & Bradstreet Data Points to a Checklist.
D&B information is available in the form of Global Access Data Products. If the information that you have in your system is outdated or does not exist, then you can purchase the information online from D&B.
Before you can purchase products from D&B, you must first enable the integration between the E-Business Suite and D&B. See: Setting Up Third Party Data Integration.
To allow users to purchase D&B data, set the HZ: Allow Access to D&B Online Purchase profile option to Yes.
Oracle Credit Management employs the Data Quality Management (DQM) match rules to identify how search results should be displayed in the application's search screens. See: Data Quality Management Overview.
To implement DQM in Credit Management:
With these profile options, specify the seeded or user-defined match rules for determining the search criteria and results. The match rules must have the Search purpose.
HZ: Match Rule for Organization Advanced Search
Note: This profile option defaults to the seeded match rule HZ_ORG_ADV_SEARCH_RULE. See: HZ_ORG_ADV_SEARCH_RULE, Oracle Trading Community Architecture Reference Guide.
HZ: Match Rule for Organization Simple Search
Note: This profile option defaults to the seeded match rule HZ_ORG_SIMPLE_SEARCH_RULE. See: HZ_ORG_SIMPLE_SEARCH_RULE, Oracle Trading Community Architecture Reference Guide.
Set the HZ: Enable DQM Party Search Determine profile option to Yes. DQM search is enabled only for searches that has an assigned match rule, based on the above profile options.
Run the DQM Staging program from a Trading Community Manager responsibility.
The DQM Staging program uses the match rules that you selected to create the indexes used in Oracle Credit Management search screens.
See: DQM Staging Program.
