===========================================================================NEW AND CHANGED FEATURES IN THIS PRODUCT===========================================================================Feature Name:XML Purchase Order Outbound - sending purchase orders in cXML format

Brief Description:Buyers can now send new Purchase Orders (Standard or Release) to suppliers using the cXML format.

Support for Change PO is not yet available.

The cXML PO can be sent directly to the seller where it can be received through their existing cXML port. Thus suppliers will not have to establish a separate port for processing cXML PO’s sent from customers running Oracle Procurement.

However suppliers will have to update their parser in order to process the Oracle cXML messages correctly as key tags in the payload envelope details will be updated to reflect that the cXML message originated from Oracle and not via the Ariba Supplier Network.

It is also worth noting that the cXML format only supports purchase order headers and lines and thus Oracle PO’s have to be converted from the more sophisticated header-line-shipment model.

The cXML message conforms to the cXML standard described in the cXML User’s Guide v 1.2.007

For cXML documents, the format is always MIME enabled and follows the cXML protocol.

4. Profile Option setupThe following system Profile Options are used to define the Buyer’s domain & identity that will be passed to all suppliers set up for cXML purchase orders. When the supplier receives the document, they will use the domain and identity to determine the exact identity of the buyer who has sent the purchase order.

Profile Option Name: PO: cXML From DomainInternal Name: PO_CXML_FROM_DOMAINUsage: Indicates buyer's "domain" in the XML doc sent.

Since Oracle does not currently have any means to administer the identities of buyers within a specific ‘Oracle Buyer’ cXML domain (and thus guarantee the uniqueness of the domain-identity pair), no value is seeded for the cXML From Domain. Buyers should set this profile option to a value that will uniquely identify their domain, such as “Oracle eBS - <company name>”

Profile Option Name: PO: cXML From IdentityInternal name: PO_CXML_FROM_IDENTITYUsage: Indicates the Buyer's "identity" in the XML doc sent.

As per the Domain tag, no value is seeded. Buyers should set this profile option to a value that will uniquely identify them within their domain, such as “<company name>”

5. Supplier Shared Secret setupTo authenticate the cXML purchase order, each supplier will provide a buyer with a username (domain+identity) and password that need to be included in the cXML purchase order message.

The XML Gateway trading partner set up form is used to set up these values for each cXML supplier.

cXML To Domain: Username fieldcXML To Identity: Source Location Code fieldShared Secret: Password field

6. XML Gateway ConfigurationThe following set up must be completed in XML Gateway in order to send cXML purchase order documents to suppliers:a) Transaction Type: POb) Transaction Subtype: PROc) Standard: OAGd) External Transaction Type: Ordere) External Transaction Subtype: Requestf) Direction: OUTg) Map: Order Request

7. OtherThe following field values are preseeded:User Agent: "Oracle E-Business Suite Oracle Purchasing 11.5.9"

- this indicates to the supplier that the received document originated from a trading partner running Oracle and not via the Ariba Supplier Network.

Deployment Mode: "production"
