Purpose
This guide explains how to create a requisition from either a Punchout Catalog or Local Catalog in Oracle. Items from catalog suppliers typically have pre-negotiated prices and should be used when possible.
Requisition Preferences should be set prior to initiating a requisition. This includes a Deliver-to Location and at least one Primary Charge Account.
Terminology
- Purchase Requisition: A request to order goods or services from a supplier.
- Punchout Catalog: A Punchout Catalog consists of items listed on a supplier’s hosted website. In the Purchase Requisitions work area, a requester can click a link to be directed to an external supplier site. Items can be added from the external site, then the user will return to Oracle to complete the requisition steps.
- Local Catalog: A Local Catalog consists of supplier items that are hosted locally in Oracle. Requesters can shop the local catalog, adding items to their cart. Local Catalog-related electronic purchase orders and invoices are communicated via Oracle Business Network (OBN).
- Procurement Category: Procurement Categories are used to classify goods or services on a requisition. The Procurement Category drives the Account segment of the Chart of Accounts (COA) for that transaction.
- Chart of Accounts (COA): A 10-segment combination of accounts composed of primary and secondary segments. The primary segments define the business transaction (Entity, Org., Account, Fund, Purpose). The secondary segments allow us to define why the transaction is being incurred (Program, Activity, Site).
- POETAF: A 6-segment combination of Project Cost Collection values that are used to code transactions against projects defined within the Project Portfolio Management module (Project Number, Expenditure Organization, Expenditure Type, Task Number, Contract Number, Funding Source). All transactions coded with POETAF must also have a COA defined.
