Introduction
This guide outlines the new procurement processes within Oracle Finacials. These
processes replace the current processes. The changes have been made to streamline the
procurement processes and provide access to on-line catalogues to enable buyers to make
more informed choices.
It is advised that you read the Purchase Order Regulations before you decide how you will
purchase items.
Every Purchase you make creates 2 items , a Requisition and Purchase Order. The
requisitionis the first stage of the Purchase. Please remember to finally close the Purchase
Order when the process is complete. The requisition will be closed automatically when the
Purchase Order have been closed.
You must remember that all prices must be entered at Net price i.e. exclusive of VAT.
You cannot have mixed Tax Classification Codes on any purchase. If the goods you wish to
purchase require different tax classification codes fill the basket/cart with those items all
requiring the same tax classification code, checkout, then follow the process to complete the
purchase. Then go back and fill basket/cart with the other items requiring the same tax
classification code, checkout,then follow the process to complete the purchase.
Listed below is a list of associated guides. Please click on the link to open the documents.

Section 6 – Obligations (Commitments)
In Oracle12 the term Commitments has been changed to Obligations.
When a purchase order is raised and approved on Oracle it reserves (commits) the value of
money from the Faculty/Service budget, therefore enabling the invoice to be paid once
receipted on the Finance system.
Sometimes an order is over committed by a value of money (for example VAT is quoted
when not applicable, items are returned, the invoice was charged slightly cheaper, Order no
longer required, etc), this leaves a balance of money on a purchase order which is no longer
required to be committed.
In order to help remind Faculties/Services of these orders, Procurement team send out a
regular report to each buyer showing the orders with outstanding commitment against Oracle
orders which can be finally closed (therefore releasing the Obligation back to the budget).
Each buyers has a responsibility to ensure they look at the current outstanding obligation
orders and finally close wherever possible. However, if there are any problems finally
closing please contact procurement@sunderland.ac.uk who will help.
