These documents can be created manually or they can be “Auto Created” from an approved purchase requisition. Purchase requisition can be created manually or they can be generated by other modules in the system.

Step 4.0 Modify Purchase Order/ Create New PO

Modify Existing Purchase Order includes the processes for modifying, saving, and re-approving an existing purchase order or agreement. Creating a new purchase document involves entering
new suppliers, negotiating new prices, and entering the new document in the system.

These are the general Oracle purchasing cycle which in depth will lead to numerous counterparts. I will try to help you with the major and most important aspects of Oracle Purchasing on the other posts.
