Supplier Management System – Oracle APEX Extension to Fusion ERP (EBS Ready)

Business Need

A global enterprise needed a unified and controlled way to manage the full supplier lifecycle. Their onboarding, verification, and compliance processes were scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected trackers. This resulted in long cycle times, inconsistent validations, frequent data issues, and limited visibility into supplier performance and risk.
They required a modern, workflow-driven solution that could streamline onboarding, enforce policies, and sync clean data back into Oracle Fusion ERP (and optionally EBS), while supporting scalable supplier engagement.

Problem Statement

Supplier onboarding relied on ad hoc forms and manual approval chains

Banking verification and statutory documents varied widely across suppliers

Risk scoring and performance reviews were inconsistent and slow

Tracking of evidence, approvals, and compliance proofs lacked auditability

ERP customizations were undesirable; business needed a low-code extension layer

No self-service capabilities for suppliers, leading to operational delays

The Solution

Faramond delivered a complete Supplier Management System built on Oracle APEX as an extension to Oracle Fusion ERP. The solution manages the end-to-end supplier lifecycle and ensures validated, complete, and compliant supplier data before syncing to ERP.

Key Capabilities Delivered

Onboarding wizard capturing legal details, classifications, sites, contacts, banking, and compliance proofs

Document vault supporting ISO/SOC2 certifications, NDAs, insurance, and regulatory documents

Bank verification workflows (penny drop or manual validation) with maker-checker approvals

Risk & compliance scoring with configurable scorecards, sanctions screening, and automated red-flag checks

Performance management module capturing periodic supplier reviews and corrective actions

Optional supplier portal enabling self-service updates, re-submission of documents, and status tracking

Dashboards showing cycle times, pending actions, expiration alerts, risk heatmaps, and AP exceptions

Implementation Approach

Faramond followed a structured delivery model aligned to Oracle best practices:

Discovery covering supplier policies, approval matrix, compliance requirements, risk framework, and document taxonomy

Build phase: onboarding screens, banking checks, compliance workflows, scorecards, dashboards, and portal pages

Integration with Oracle Fusion via REST APIs and optional Oracle EBS integration via OIC/Open Interface

Pilot sessions with business and compliance teams to validate data flows and finalize SLAs

Rollout in phases, inviting suppliers by region or business unit

Hardening for performance, security, SSO, and support readiness
