Electronically Approve and Create Suppliers in Oracle Financials Using a Combination of Apex and Oracle Workflow

This paper will give an overview of how Environment Waikato replaced their manual supplier set-up process with a custom built APEX front-end application using Oracle Workflow as the rules engine and Oracle Financials as the backend. End users can submit their supplier creation/activation requests for review and approval online and if accepted the supplier is created automatically in Oracle Financials. Examples of the validation performed and technologies used will be given.
