Contract integration

The contract outbound interfaces support the transfer of new and updated contracts from the IBM® Maximo® Asset Management to Oracle E-Business Suite. The data transfer takes place using Oracle open interface tables and purchasing public APIs.

The contract integration has the following capabilities:
  • Uses standard concurrent processes and the purchasing documents open interface for creating purchase contracts.
  • After a purchase contract is approved in Maximo Asset Management, the adapter adds records to the following tables:
    • PO_HEADERS_INTERFACE
    • PO_LINES_INTERFACE
    • PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_INTERFACE
  • Sends updated information to Oracle E-Business Suite using purchasing documents open interface when the Contract Price field is updated.
  • Sends updated information to Oracle E-Business Suite using Oracle standard APIs, when Maximo Asset Management contracts are canceled.

The contract integration transfers contracts from Maximo Asset Management to the Oracle E-Business Suite when the status of the contract matches a status in the PCSEND integration control. The approved contracts are also transferred from the Oracle E-Business Suite to Maximo Asset Management.
