This is not a comprehensive BR100, but this article will give you an outline of the steps to implement Oracle iProcurement using Punchouts.
I will try to cover as many steps for full cycle iProcurement implementation using Punchouts. This is due to email requests & the comment requests that I received to write something on iProcurement implementation. What is a punchout? 4. Buyer selects the items on supplier website and adds them to his cart. 6. The items selected are brought in as “Shopping Basket in iProcurement” Account Generation for iProcurement Requisition PO Create Documents Workflow Is Automatic Approval Allowed – Y Should non-catalog request be auto sourced from contract Y Is Contract Required on Requisition Line N There could be other attributes of your interest, but my implementation involved usage of contracts to create Purchase Orders. We have a blanket contract against each iProc supplier. The values above for those attributes are merely indicative of one scenario.
PO Requisition Approval Workflow This means, as soon as a Requisition is approved, the creation of Purchase Order is kicked off [rather than wait for workflow background process]
Charge Account Flexfield Display-Prior to 11.5.10 You will also set the profile options to relate to those regions for Accounting KFF
Define Approval Groups
Define Document Types
Define Purchasing Options
“XML Gateway” responsibility: Define Hubs
XML Gateway Responsibility: Define Transactions Here you indicate, the type of Documents you wish to exchange with your suppliers using XML
XML Gateway Responsibility: Define Trading Partner Process PO 007 is an OAG standard that dictates the structure of XML document which your supplier will receive. For those that do not know, PO007 is nothing but an Approved Purchase Order sent to the supplier. Its format is XML. How is this PO 007 file generated? Open that file in XML Gateway Message designer Configure your Exchange setup
Note: Oracle Exchange supports various protocols like http,https,smtp . The supplier selects a protocol based on the protocols their server supports. Oracle supports both cXML ad XML punchouts. Hence the supplier must support one of these two options.
Select Punchout catalog and click on continue
This finishes the punch-out setup with your Supplier. Further notes:- Comments

Hi Santosh
Thanks for your kind words. Not sure where you are based? I occassionally meetup with my ex-colleagues that are Oracle Consultants working on different projects. If you are based around London, will give you a shout. Cheers, anil ![]() written by Santosh Desai , February 27, 2007
Hi Anil,
Excellent article , I had been looking for such a detailed explanation for a long time. My interests into Oracle all started with i procurement training to superuser and then moving on to understand other Oralce modules. I have gone through the article today more than 3 times and everytime i read it , i feel im catching important features one at a time, which is quite obvious for a beginner like me. Hope to meet you some time in the future for you excellent article:-) Santosh Desai ![]() written by Praveen Challa , March 05, 2007

Hi!Anil
I am trying to play around with Oracle Apps Vision Instance. I defined a new business Group which is an Operating Unit also and new responsibility.Define HR:Security level, Hr:Business Group etc. Under Purchasing responsibility, I am not able to define Purchasing Parameters as It is not allowing update. Under Document Type window, I see only Quotation & RFQ and not PO etc. Please tell me what else I need to check?? ![]() written by Sharon , June 01, 2007
hi Anil,
If you can pls help me out on Advanced Pricing. I want to know if it is possible to invoice the customer with the List price and whatever India Localized taxes are applied are not added up along with the List price. The List price is not the Unit Price but the Selling Price in Order Management. Also i want to enforce price list but discounts should be applicable but this is not working even after setting the profile option OM: Discouting Privelege to Unlimited. Your feedback will be a big help to me Thanks ![]() written by Anil Passi , June 15, 2007

Hi Anil,
I am trying to customize the standard PROCESS PO 007 xgm file by adding some more fields to it.I am able to load the map to my custom top but still this is not reflected in the supplier that I set up to use this xgm file rather it uses the standard xgm file.Should I ftp the custom xgm to PO_TOP rather and try to reference it..? Kindly let me know of any possible solutions.. Thanks, Aravind

Hi Anil
Really nice doc. My client is implementing punchout with 2 suppliers. Client is asking how to punchout the inventory items. i.e. when we submit the shopping cart in supplier site it directly comes to iPro shopping cart and with e-commerce gateway category mapping but where supplier and inventory item is tied. Is it a standard functionality to procure inventory item through punchout. Thanks jaihind
Anil,
Very useful information, I was looking for what needs to be done for opening firewall (if oracle exchange is used) - we are intranet based right now, this is the first i-* product dealing with internet. Any thing we need to do for https://
Anil
Client wants to implement iP for non inventory items (expense items). These items are not in their INV at all. Currently they create POs for these items by just filling in the description field in the PO Line. How to create these items then? By using UNSPSC? Please help
Hi Anil,

Hi Anil,
The detailed I-proc setup is very useful for a beginner like me and I am in need of a sample i-Proc BR100 Document for reference. I would greatly appreciate if you can share them. Thanks Deva
Hi:
If anybody can help me in figuring out the below issue regarding XML Gateway Message Designer, I'd greatly appreciate it. Trying to add a addressID in Linelevel of PO XML (cXML_OrderRequest.xgm) 1) copied the Map from the server 2) Opened the Map using Latest Version of Gateway Designer. (2.6.3.0.0) 3) Mapped the AddressID at the linelevel 4) Uploaded the Map back to Server by physically placing the file and also through LoadMap command. 5) Verified by making sure that the changes in the map are saved by downloading it and also verifying the timestamp in ECX_MAPPINGS table. 6) Restarted the WF Agent Listener. 7) Went to Autocreate the PO and looked at XML in Workflow / OSN but cannot see the modifications. Can anybody let me know if I'm missing any steps here.
Hi Anil,
I was using Model4 , XML via Oracle Exchange for punchout. I m getting UOM not configured for purchasing error upon return of shopping cart. Are you aware of how to fix this? My data mapping was done right.
