Following are the steps required to send a XML PO to any Supplier through OSN (Oracle Supplier Network).

Pre-requisites

1. Create PO’s as XML (setup required in Purchasing responsibility)

2. XML Gateway setup’s
3. Buyer – Register an account in OSN as buyer
4. Supplier – Register an account in OSN as supplier
5. OTA should be up and running.
6. Agent Listeners should be up and running under Workflow.

Let’s see them one by one.

Step 1 – Presuming that the setup is taken care to generate the PO’s as XML. (Refer to references – Point # 1)

Step 2 – XML Gateway setups

Under XML Gateway we need to

1. Define Hub
2. Define Trading Partner

Defining Hub

Navigation – XML Gateway – Define Hubs

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/xml-hub-nav.png)

Here create a name for the hub, choose the protocol type as required and we have chosen HTTPS-OXTA for our example. In the
protocol Address type
h ps://osn.oracle.com/servlets/oracle.apps.ecx.oxta.TransportAgentServer
(h ps://osn.oracle.com/servlets/oracle.apps.ecx.oxta.TransportAgentServer)

as shown below. Create an username/password and enter the DUNS code in Hub Entity Code.

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/xml-hub-definition.png)

Defining Trading Partner

Navigation – XML Gateway – Define Trading Partners

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/xml-tp-nav.png)

Enter the required Transaction type’s as shown below. Here we need to define the Supplier to whom we are going to transact the PO
/ AP Invoice.

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/xml-tp-def.png)
(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/xml-tp-nav1.png)

Scrolling to right of the above screen, for 2nd and 3rd lines which are of transaction type PO, we need to enter the user name as
created in the previous step (Hub Definition)

Protocol Address – h ps://osn.oracle.com/servlets/oracle.apps.ecx.oxta.TransportAgentServer

(h ps://osn.oracle.com/servlets/oracle.apps.ecx.oxta.TransportAgentServer)

Buyer Registration in OSN

Logon to h ps://osn.oracle.com (h ps://osn.oracle.com/) and register

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-url.png)

Enter the profile values as shown below –

The Company profile values need to be entered as follows

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-buyer-profile.png)

The user profile is filled in as follows –

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-buy-user-prof.png)

Next, complete the Messaging tab as follows

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-buy-msg-identifier.png)

Enter the DUNS number for identification.

The Communication parameters are the important se ings which we need to fill in here.

In the URL text box – enter the buyer’s Oracle EBS Instance URL (this is if and when we need to send the Invoice back in the later
stage)

Enter the necessary credentials required to connect to the EBS Instance in the user name & password field

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-buy-msg-cp.png)

The Communication parameter’s method should be Oracle XML Transport Agent and needs to be defaulted.
(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-buy-msg-cp1.png)

Under Transaction Management, choose what are the different documents which we are going to send through OSN, as shown
below.

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-buy-msg-tm.png)

The Notifications window says what are the notifications subscribed, as shown below

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-buy-msg-notify.png)

Under Trading Partners, click on the Add bu on as shown below to add the Supplier’s OSN details.

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-sup-tp-mytp.png)
Add information as shown below … The Trading Partner Alias should match the name as created in XML Gateway’s Trading
Partner Definition.

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-sup-tp-mytp1.png)

Remember these are values, presuming that the OSN Supplier account is created. (Supplier OSN is shown as Step-3 below).

Supplier Registration in OSN

Logon to h ps://osn.oracle.com (h ps://osn.oracle.com/) and register similarly as the OSN Buyer account.

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-url1.png)

1. Enter the profile details

2. a. Under Messaging enter the Identifiers

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-sup-msg-identifier.png)

b. Under Communication Parameters, enter values as shown below

Click on the Add bu on under delivery methods and enter the values as shown .

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-sup-msg-cp.png)

After the values are entered and submi ed, the values will be as below. In the above screenshot, under URL, enter the punchout
URL from where the requisition/PO will be sent out. In our example here, we are creating Requisitions from the punchout.
(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-sup-msg-cp1.png)

c. Under Transaction Management, add necessary transactions which will be added to Your transactions using the add bu on . In
our example we are choosing PO’s, Invoice and change order.

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-sup-msg-tm.png)

d. Under Notifications tab, include all transaction types to be notified

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-sup-msg-notify.png)3. Under Trading Partners, choose My Trading

Partners and click on the Add bu on to add the buyer created in Step 1 (Buyer OSN information)

(h ps://oracleappsstore.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/osn-sup-tp-mytp2.png)

Details of buyer added are as follows –

Hello Asokan,

Thanks for sharing this article. I am in process of se ing up XML AP invoice through OSN. Your document helped me a lot in
se ing it up. Now when I’m trying to post the PROCESS_INVOICE_002 to Oracle R12 XML gateway using a sample data, I am
ge ing the below error message in the Transaction Monitor

The Standard:OAG, Transaction Type:INVOICE , Transaction SubType:PROCESS and Location Code Selftest ehub_id 2956 is not
enabled in the XML Gateway Server. Pls check your Setup.

Can you help me as to what setup I am missing?

Regards,
Hameed

Are you trying to get the AP Invoices inbound into EBS ? If yes, try to use the mapping AP_INVOICE_INBOUND in the XML
Gateway. This would get your data directly into the AP Invoice Interfaces table. Let me know if you require further help.

Thanks,
Asokan

Thanks Asokan,

I had a wrong Source Trading Partner Location Code for the sample test document. Once that was corrected the transaction went
successfully.

Hello Asokan,

I am facing a strange problem on UOM conversion while testing the PO/invoice transactions via OSN. I had to setup UOM code
conversion for the specific trading partner in the XML Gateway. The outbound transaction (PO) does the UOM conversion from
Oracle UOM code (eg. Ea) to the trading partner’s UOM Code (EACH) whereas the inbound transaction (Invoice) does the UOM
conversion from trading partner’s UOM Code (EACH) to Oracle UOM name (e.g. Each).
This is causing me to setup 2 UOM conversions for each UOM mapping.

I am not sure whether I am missing any setup where both outbound and inbound UOM should be read from one source (i.e.
either UOM Code or UOM Name) or it is the intended functionality?

Also for punchout with the same trading partner I had used Ecommerce Gateway for UOM mapping (there it uses UOM Name).

Regards,
Hameed.

Hello Hameed,

As far as I know, it is the intended functionality. We had to do an extra work for the conversions in the later stage.

Thanks Asokan,

The only thing that confuses me with this approach is that I have to provide a dummy trading partner UOM for both inbound
and outbound UOM conversion.

Hi Asokan,
We are trying to do an outbound PO transaction using XML Gateway. It is working in 11i and we are trying to upgrade the
xgm/dtd files. Loading the 11i customized files into R12 files does not seem to work.. Is there a strategy for R12 upgrade, please.

Hi Asokan

We have created an Invoice using XML Gateway for OSN as mentoned in your setup. Now, this invoice is not picked up during
the Payment Process Request. Please let me know why it is not picked up during selection criteria of PPR. I have checked the
criteria given in the PPR but still only the OSN invoices were not selecting. Manual Source Invoics are selecting and able to pay
them. Ay suggetions are highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

PO sent as cXML is being sent multiple times. ECX_OXTA_LOGMSG table has the result_text of “Timeout Exceeded” and
exception test “oracle.apps.ecx.oxta.TransportTimeoutException: Timeout waiting for response at
oracle.apps.ecx.oxta.HTTPTransportSender.run(HTTPTransportSender.java:219)”.

How do we resolve this issue?
