The following windows are part of Oracle iProcurement setup. Located in the Setup menu in Oracle Purchasing, they are used only by iProcurement. iProcurement is a self-service product used to create requisitions on the Web. These requisitions are turned into purchase orders in Purchasing. Use these windows only if you are setting up Oracle iProcurement:
Define Information Template - enables you to create additional-information templates.
Note: Information templates are not the same as requisition templates in Purchasing. Requisition templates in Purchasing are a pre-filled listing of frequently ordered items. Information templates are additional information templates that a requester in iProcurement completes for certain items.
Item Source - used to define internal or external catalog sources for items.
Define Catalog Server Loader Values - enables you to define which catalog data to load into the system.
Define Catalog Server for External Suppliers - enables communication with external suppliers outside the firewall.
Realms - used to create user access privileges to internal or external catalogs.
For instructions on these windows, see the Oracle iProcurement Implementation Manual.
