Automate the Dropship Process to Create Approved Blanket Agreement Release from the Drop Ship Order (Part 1)



Current Process

Current process takes Sales Order for an item (Oracle item) and automatically creates purchase requisition that is approved through ReqImport process. The approved requisition goes to AutoCreate where a buyer has to create a Standard Purchase Order.

Expected Process
The Sales Order item should be linked to an existing Blanket Purchase Agreement. Upon the import process, a Blanket Agreement release will be automatically generated instead of an approved purchase requisition. And if possible, Oracle can automate the approval of the Blanket Agreement Release?

Prerequisites

·         Create Blanket Purchase Agreement PO.
·         The Approved Supplier List need to setup for the Item which is being used as part of DropShip orders and sourced to the Document Type ‘Blanket Purchase Agreement’.
