Oracle 1z0-1065-24 Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement 2024 Implementation Professional Exam Practice Test

When you set the Overall Ranking Method to Composite scoring, you can assess suppliers on both pricing and qualitative aspects. Qualitative aspects include requirements such as technical capabilities, other commercial considerations, or risk. You can assign weights to requirement sections, including pricing, and calculate a composite score for each supplier based on their response amount and requirementscores. The composite score is a combination of the relative score for pricing and the weighted requirement score. The higher the composite score, the higher the overall rank. This way, you can rank suppliers not just based on the best pricing offered, but also on how well they meet your requirements.

The Responsive Self Service Procurement application allows you to view the list of current approvers of a requisition that’s pending approval. However, there are some scenarios where the approvals are not displayed. One scenario is when the approvals task flow has been initiated, but not yet completed. In this case, the approvals are still being processed and the list of approvers is not yet available. Another scenario is when there are errors in retrieving approval details, or there could be any other infrastructure issues that prevent the display of approvals. In this case, you may see a message that says “Unable to retrieve approval details” or “Approval details are not available”.

To process negotiations with hundreds of lines, you can use the file-based data import (FBDI) and the award lines spreadsheet options in Sourcing. The FBDI option allows you to import a large number of negotiation lines using a MS Excel template and a background process. You can also update or delete existing lines using the same option. The award lines spreadsheet option allows you to export the negotiation lines to a MS Excel file, where you can enter the award decisions and amounts. You can then import the file back to the application using a background process to complete the award.

When you create an implementation project, you can select the offerings and functional areas that you want to implement by selecting the Enable check box for each option. This will generate a list of setup tasks for the selected options. You can also see the status of each offering and functional area, such as Provisioned, Enabled, or Not Enabled. After creating the implementation project, you can update the status of each task to indicate the progress of the implementation. You can set the status to In Progress, Implemented, or Not Applicable. This will help you to identify the stage of each offering and functional area in the implementation project.
