You search for a party in the TCA Registry to:
Find the party that you want to purchase D&B information for.
Confirm that a party does not already exist before purchasing D&B information to create a new party.
View its existing third party and user-entered information.
Suggestion: With the advanced search criteria, you can search for only parties with active mapped D-U-N-S Numbers. This criterion is available only if D-U-N-S Numbers exist in the Registry. See: Source System Management Impact.
If your search criteria do not match any existing party in the TCA Registry, or the specific party that you are searching for is not displayed, you can create a new party with the purchased D&B data. See: Searching for Companies in the D&B Database.
If your search criteria match the party you are searching for, click the party name to view its third party and user-entered data, if any, and to optionally continue with purchasing D&B data. See: Viewing Information from Data Sources.
In other Oracle applications, accordingly search for the party or customer. For example, in Customers Online, you search for an organization as usual and, from the overview and other pages for that organization, you can proceed to view existing information from data sources and purchase D&B data.
