Case Details

Oracle Cloud Procurement is a high-end tool designed to endow end-users with facilities like direct and indirect sourcing details, supplier management, purchasing tracking, inventory control, and leverage payment processing.  

By integrating this resource with EnterpriseOne, one can gain unmatched control over resource procurement and order traceability while aligning the resource requirements with the project requirements.  

The purchase order tracking and management become fully automated. Enterprises are endowed with better hold over predicting delivery schedules, tracking cost and expenses, and ensuring adequate account distribution. 

Bringing these two tools under one roof will assist one to have timely and real-time updates on the purchase order. Also, purchase order filtering, fetching, and feeding will become an error-free, swift, and effortless task.

Our ERP team understood the current challenges of the client and deployed some of the highly acclaimed functions and features of Oracle Cloud Procurement. 

The client lacked the unified and multi-dimensional e-communication that is needed for global expansion. Using the Oracle Business Network feature of the tool, we streamlined and automated electronic transactions. 

Additionally, each transaction was able to provide real-time visibility into status, exceptions, and errors. The feature also enabled the trading partners of the clients to exchange key documents in the preferred format. To bring uniformity in the purchasing and payment processing, the Oracle Payables module was activated. The resource allowed the client to eliminate unwanted steps from the purchasing process while automating the entire purchase order creation process.
