Child fields in request parameter for Get All Suppliers REST...Answered3
Topic posted November 8, 2019 by David Wright, tagged Business Intelligence, Fusion, How-To
Title:
Child fields in request parameter for Get All Suppliers REST API
Summary:
What's the notation for child fields for expanded items in this API
Content:
The documentation says "If an indirect child resource is provided (Example: Employees.Managers), the missing children will be processed implicitly. "

So, if my parameters say 'fields' : 'Alias,AlternateName,Supplier,SupplierId,SupplierNumber,sites.PaymentTerms' then shouldn't sites.PaymentTerms be valid for Suppliers? However, when I try to use any variation of this (with . or ; or :) it fails with 'URL request parameter fields with value Alias,AlternateName,Supplier,SupplierId,SupplierNumber,sites.PaymentTerms is not valid.'

Is my notation incorrect, or can I not access child items in such a manner for Supplier?
How to configure Supplier Registration Approved Email...25.0

How to configure Supplier Registration Approved Email notification using Business Intelligence Publisher template
Summary:
Steps to configure Supplier Registration Approved Email notification using Business Intelligence Publisher template.
Content:
Summary: Steps to configure Supplier Registration Approved Email notification using Business Intelligence Publisher template.

Description:

Buying organizations can include additional information to be sent to the supplier by configuring the email notifications using BIP.

E.g: In the Supplier Registration Approved Email notification, if you want to add a paragraph detailing the organizations quality policies and also want to display additional information dependent upon a supplier registration attribute, then follow the below steps:

Note:
1. In order to configure the BIP template the user should have the role: BI Administrator.
2. This feature is opt in controlled. You need to enable feature Configure Supplier Registration Approval Decision Notifications with Business Intelligence Publisher.
Step 1: Create a copy of the template

Sign in to Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher. In the Suppliers Business Intelligence Catalog, locate the External Supplier Registration Approved FYI Email Report template, and then click Customize. This creates a copy of the template in your Custom folder.

Step 2: Download and install BI publisher word add-in

If BI publisher add-in is not installed for word you can download it from the below link:

https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/downloads/index.html

Step 3: Download sample data

Sample data will be required in order to add additional supplier registration attributes to the template. Sample data contains a list of supplier registration attributes along with sample values for these attributes. This when loaded to the template gives you a list of the supplier registration attributes which can be added to the template. Furthermore the sample data is also useful when you want to preview a report for the configuration done.

To download the sample data follow the below steps:

Edit the External Supplier Registration Approved Email Data Model available under the Data Models folder.

Click on the properties from the panel on the left hand side. Download and save the sample.xml

Note: If the sample data does not contain the required attributes, you can edit the sample.xml file using notepad and manually add the required tag and value combination under the correct mapping set.

To fetch the correct Tag Name and mapping set, open the data model, Click on the Data Sets from the panel on the left hand side and go to Structure tab. XML Tag Names and their mapping sets are listed here.

Step 4: Customizing the copy of the seeded template.
1. Go to Custom folder> Procurement> Suppliers > External Supplier Registration Approved FYI Email Report template. Click on Edit and download the ExtSuppRegNotifApprovalFYIReport.rtf.
2. Go to BI publisher tab and load sample.xml saved in Step 3.
3. Adding text content: Go to the Insert tab, expand ‘Quick Parts’ to see available pre-existing layouts which can be used to configure the template.
  To add text choose BIP Paragraph of Text from the list.
  
  Add text which is to be displayed in the email.
4. Adding an attribute from the data model to conditionally display content on the BIP report:
  We can also add conditions on any of the supplier attribute to conditionally display content. Example given below shows how to use DFF attribute to conditionally display content on the email. DFF attribute ATTRIBUTE20 is used in the supplier registration to capture the supplier response to the question on the buying organization’s quality policies.
- To add a condition click on Conditional Region under BI publisher tab.
- Under General: Select the required attribute from the Data field list. Select the corresponding data type.
- Under Condition1: Manually enter the value expected to satisfy the condition.
- Add the required content to be displayed inside the conditional tags <C><EC> as shown below.
Step 5: Viewing a sample report for the customization.

Note: Temporarily delete the portion highlighted in yellow before viewing a sample. Paste it back after viewing the sample report.

These tags are references to other folders in the BI and hence will throw error when we try to view a sample report locally.

Under BI publisher tab click on any of the formats to view a sample report.

Sample report in the pdf format.

Step 6: Save the template and upload it back into the BI publisher.

Under Custom folder> Procurement> Suppliers > External Supplier Registration Approved FYI Email Report, note down the layout name and delete the existing template. Click on Upload to upload the configured template. Please note to use the existing name for layout name. For External Supplier Registration Approved FYI Email Report template the layout name is ExtSuppRegNotifApprovedFyi.

Once the upload is complete click on View a list on the top right corner and verify that the Default Layout checkbox is checked.

Title:
Navigate to supplier profile from OTBI reports, including sample report
Summary:
Creating ad hoc OTBI reports with links to navigate to supplier profiles.
Content:
The 19C feature: Navigate to Supplier Profile from Reports allows you to include links in your ad hoc OTBI and BIP reports. These links can be used to navigate to and view supplier profiles.

Below is an example of one such ad hoc OTBI report that lists suppliers missing Business Classifications. This report can be used to review the list of such suppliers and update their profiles to include the missing information.

The attached Deployment_Instructions.pdf contains steps for importing the report to your instance. Also included is the Suppliers missing Business Classifications.catalog file to import the actual report to your instance.

More details about this feature can be found in the Procurement What’s New for Update 19C. You can also refer to the white paper available here: My Oracle Support (note 2556026.1) for step by step instructions to construct and use these links.

Title:
Is it possible to search for a Supplier using any part of the Supplier's Name & Alternate Name?
Summary:
Search for Supplier by any part of Name/Alternate Name
Content:
Hi All,

Just wondering if it is possible to search for suppliers in OracleCloud by using any part of the Supplier's Name or even by their Alternate Name?

For example:

If we onboarded a supplier called Joe's Bakery Shop and they had an Alternate Name under Joe Schmoe, is there anyway that we can search for the supplier by either typing in "Joe's", "Bakery", "Shop", "Joe", or "Schmoe"?

Thank you!

-Alan
