Set Up Demand Workbench (Optional)

Oracle Sourcing buyers can use the Demand Workbench feature of Oracle Purchasing to access and import requisition information from Oracle Purchasing to create a new negotiation without leaving Oracle Sourcing. To set up the Demand Workbench for use by Oracle Sourcing buyers:

• Set up the AutoCreate feature as normal in Oracle Purchasing.

• Set the PO: Default Requisition Grouping system profile option (values: Requisition or Default). This specifies the default grouping method used when aggregating demand to create a new sourcing document. Default will combine lines from multiple requisitions to create a single negotiation line if possible. Requisition will create a separate line for each Requisition line.

• Set the PO: Document Builder Default Document Type system profile option. (values: Blanket Auction, Blanket RFQ, Standard Auction, Standard RFQ). This specifies the default target document type when creating a new negotiation (this can be changed when the negotiation is initially created in Demand Workbench by selecting one of the other three values from a drop down menu).
