First let’s see what the heading itself means?

Procure to Pay means Procuring Raw

Materials required to manufacture the final or finished Goods to Paying the Supplier from whom the
material was purchased. But this is not just two steps. It involves many steps. Let’s see the steps and
Oracle Application involved in performing those steps.
1. Oracle Purchasing: You enter Suppliers of different materials and products you
want to purchase to manufacture a finished good that your organization plans to sell.
2. Oracle Purchasing: You prepare a Request for Quotation (RFQ) and send it to
different suppliers to get the best and/or economical price for the product.
3. Oracle Purchasing: Suppliers sends their quotations and you upload those
quotations in Oracle Purchasing to get the best three quotes and further to get the one best
quote.
4. Oracle Purchasing: You prepare a Purchase Order(PO) against the best RFQ to
buy the goods from the supplier who quoted the suitable price and sends the PO to that
supplier
5. Oracle Purchasing: The supplier receives the confirmation of purchase from PO and
ships the ordered goods. You receive the goods enter a Goods Received Note (GRN) in
Oracle Purchasing.
6. Oracle Inventory / Oracle Assets: It’s up to you whether you want to receive the
goods at your head office or you Inventory directly. In either case you move the received
goods to your different Raw Material Inventory from Oracle Purchasing to Oracle Inventory
and the Item Count increases. If the item is Asset Type then it will move to Oracle Assets at
the time of Invoice creation in Oracle Payables.
7. Oracle General Ledger: Once you move the goods to Oracle Inventory, it sends the
Material Accounting to Oracle General Ledger.
8. Oracle Payables: After this the supplier sends you the invoice for the purchased
goods and you Enter or Match the invoice against the PO from Oracle Purchasing in Oracle
Payables. As said before, if the item is Asset in nature then it will move to Oracle Asset.
9. Oracle General Ledger: When you enter the invoice it means that you have created
a Liability against that supplier and also you have recorded the expense incurred or asset
purchased. Oracle Payables sends the invoice accounting to Oracle General Ledger.
10. Oracle Payables: You pay the invoice and settle the Liability.
11. Oracle General Ledger: The liability is settled and your cash movement account is
updated.
12. Oracle Cash Management: As you pay the invoice Oracle Payables sends the
payment information to Oracle Cash Management for Bank Reconciliation. Once reconciled,
Oracle Cash Management sends the updated Bank/Cash accounting entry to Oracle General
Ledger.
13. Oracle General Ledger: Your cash at bank is updated with actual balance.
14. Oracle Process Manufacturing(OPM) / Oracle Discrete
Manufacturing(ODM): You start the manufacturing of your final product. Both OPM and
ODM request the different raw materials from your inventory organizations and manufactures
a finished good.
 15. Oracle Inventory: As the raw materials are issued to OPM and ODM the inventory
sends the issuing material accounting to General Ledger and decreases the Item Count from
the Raw Material Store. As the finished good is prepared, Oracle Inventory receives the
finished good in
16. Finished Good Store and increase the Item Count.

1) Create Requisition

11i

Requisition is nothing but a formal request to buy something (like Inventory material, office supplies
etc)
Needed for the enterprise. Only an employee can create one. There are two types of requisitions:
Internal Requisition: Internal requisitions provide the mechanism for requesting and transferring
material from one inventory to other inventory.

Purchase requisition: Unlike Internal requisitions, Purchase requisitions are used for requesting
material from suppliers.
