How to Assign Products and Services to an Existing Supplier (eBS R12.2.3)?

Most of the time organizations are looking to categorize their own suppliers based on type of products and services they are purchasing.

This post will walk you trough Oracle eBS Supplier Products and Services configuration and the way products and services may be assigned to an existing supplier or may be included as a step inside supplier registration flow (iSupplier).

Configuration steps

The following are the configuration steps (a flex structure is already configured):

1. Identify the default category set assigned to Purchasing functional area (Purchasing in our example)
2. Identify the Flex structure linked to category set (PO Item category, in our example)
3. Populate flex structure  (PO Item category) with values - categories
4. Assign only values - categories you consider are relevant for suppliers
5. Setup up Products and Services category by assigning one or more segments of your flex structure (PO Item category)
6. Enable Products & Services profile section for internal users (standard supplier page) and/or for supplier users (iSupplier or supplier registration page)

Demo

1. Navigate to supplier page to add Products & Services categories to existing suppliers
2. Navigate to supplier registration page (iSupplier portal) and verify that Products & Services section is visible and may be used
