Practical Examples of Business Rules in Oracle Cloud Procurement Pages:
Procurement Application:
-
On the "Create New Purchase Order" page:
- If the "Supplier" is selected as a preferred vendor, automatically default the "Payment Terms" field to the vendor’s standard payment terms.
- Validate that the "Delivery Date" is not later than the requested delivery date in the contract.
-
On the "Edit Purchase Order" page:
- If the "Order Status" is changed to "Closed," automatically set the "Invoice Receipt Date" to the current date.
-
On the "Create New Requisition" page:
- If the "Item Category" is "IT Equipment," automatically set the "Approval Group" to the designated IT purchasing team.
- Validate that the "Quantity" requested does not exceed the available budget for that department.
Benefits of Using Business Rules:
-
Improved user experience:
By pre-filling fields or providing immediate feedback on invalid input, users can complete procurement tasks more efficiently and accurately. -
Data accuracy:
Enforcing validation rules ensures that all data entered is accurate, preventing costly errors in the procurement process. -
Reduced development effort:
Business rules can be configured directly within the Oracle Cloud Procurement interface, minimizing the need for complex custom coding.
