Menu labels and the exact FBDI template columns change between quarterly updates, so use the template version for your release. ## Steps ### How to create a supplier in Fusion **Items:** - Sign in with a role that can manage suppliers, open the Suppliers work area, and search first to confirm the supplier does not already exist. - Choose Tasks > Create Supplier and enter the supplier name, tax country, and tax registration or taxpayer id as your policy requires, then click Create. - On Edit Supplier, open Profile to set supplier type, business relationship and any classification or product and service categories. - Add an Address on the Addresses tab and set its purposes (such as Purchasing, Payment, Remit To) as needed. - Add Contacts if buyers or accounts payable need named people, and optionally create user accounts for supplier portal access. - Create a Site on the Sites tab, link it to an address, and assign it to the procuring business unit with the required purposes. - Set site attributes such as payment terms, payment method, invoice currency and the distribution account defaults. - Add the supplier bank account under the Payments or Bank Accounts section, then submit for approval if your setup requires supplier approval. ## Sections ### Supplier, address, site, assignment **Body:** Fusion models a supplier in layers. The supplier is the legal party. Addresses describe locations. A site ties an address to a procurement business unit and carries the purchasing and payables defaults. Site assignments let a client business unit use the site. A common error is stopping after the supplier is created. Without a site that is active and assigned, buyers cannot place purchase orders and payables cannot pay invoices. ### Banking and approval **Body:** Bank accounts are held as payee bank accounts linked to the supplier or site. Verify the account details outside the system before saving, since changes to bank details are a known fraud vector. If supplier registration approval is enabled, the new supplier stays inactive for purchasing until the approval workflow completes. ### Bulk loading with FBDI **Body:** The Supplier Import template loads suppliers, addresses, sites, site assignments and contacts through interface tables such as POZ_SUPPLIERS_INT, POZ_SUPPLIER_ADDRESSES_INT, POZ_SUPPLIER_SITES_INT, POZ_SITE_ASSIGNMENTS_INT and POZ_SUP_CONTACTS_INT. Download the template from the Oracle Help Center for your release, fill the sheets, generate the zip, upload it through Tools > File Import and Export, and run the import ESS jobs for suppliers, addresses, sites, assignments and contacts. Review the import rejection reports for each. **Code:** Navigator > Procurement > Suppliers > Tasks > Create Supplier Navigator > Tools > File Import and Export (upload FBDI zip) Navigator > Tools > Scheduled Processes > Import Suppliers ### Duplicates and data quality **Body:** - Check by name, tax id and bank account before creating. Duplicate suppliers split spend, hide discount opportunities and cause duplicate payments. - Agree naming conventions and mandatory fields before bulk loading, because cleaning after import is harder than cleaning the spreadsheet. ## Pitfalls - Creating a supplier but no site, so purchase orders cannot be raised. - Forgetting the site assignment to the business unit. - Loading FBDI data with an old template version after a quarterly update. - Not verifying bank details independently. - Creating duplicates because the search was skipped. ## Ai Angle An assistant grounded in Fusion can screen a supplier load before it runs: it compares the spreadsheet against existing suppliers by name, tax id and bank account, flags likely duplicates and lists the rows missing required site or assignment data. It reads data through reporting or REST and proposes changes, while the actual creation stays under human approval. A private model keeps supplier banking data off outside services. ## Faq ### Where do I create a supplier in Oracle Fusion? **Answer:** Open the Suppliers work area from the Navigator under Procurement, then choose Tasks > Create Supplier. After creation, complete addresses, sites and assignments on the Edit Supplier page. ### Why can't I create a purchase order for my new supplier? **Answer:** Usually the supplier has no active site assigned to the requisitioning business unit, the site lacks the Purchasing purpose, or the supplier is awaiting approval. ### How do I load many suppliers at once? **Answer:** Use the Supplier Import FBDI template for your release, upload the zip through File Import and Export, and run the supplier import ESS jobs. Review rejection output and correct the source rows. ### Where are supplier bank accounts stored? **Answer:** They are payee bank accounts in the payments setup, associated with the supplier or site. Manage them through the supplier's banking section or a bank account import. ## Search terms how to create suppliers in oracle fusion, supplier details in oracle fusion, oracle fusion create supplier, oracle fusion supplier site, oracle fusion supplier import, POZ_SUPPLIERS_INT, fusion procurement supplier bank account --- Talk to an engineer: https://netray.co/contact?intent=erp_ai | Machine catalog: https://netray.co/agent/catalog.json
