The extraction criteria for each of the following data elements is explained in further detail below:
■ Purchasing categories
■ Blanket purchase agreements
■ Global agreements (blanket purchase agreements for which Global is selected)
■ Catalog quotations
■ Requisition templates
■ Approved supplier list (ASL) entries
■ Items from the item master file, including internally orderable items

The extractor does not extract outside processing items.

If the extracted items include updates to items that requesters have placed on favorites lists, the favorites lists are also updated. (Saved carts are not updated, but upon checkout, Oracle iProcurement will alert the requester to items that no longer exist or are no longer valid.)

The item data that is extracted is as follows: supplier, supplier site, category, item number, item description, unit of measure (UOM), price, currency, supplier item Creating and Maintaining Local Content number, attribute 13 (for images, if any, on blanket purchase agreements or catalog quotations), and attribute 14 (for image URLs, if any, on blanket purchase
agreements or catalog quotations). If extracting requisition templates, the requisition template name is also extracted and displayed as a public shopping list.

If extracting items from agreements or quotations, the agreement or quotation number is also extracted; the number displays to the requester if it is set up to display using schema editing.

Purchasing Categories For categories to be extracted into the Oracle iProcurement catalog, the following requirements must be satisfied:
■ The category belongs to the Purchasing Category set.
■ The category is Enabled for iProcurement in the Categories window.
■ The category is active.
Oracle iProcurement extracts the category description, such as Computers and Monitors, and displays that as the category name in Oracle iProcurement. If there is no category description, it extracts the category code, such as IT.COMPUTER, and makes that the category name.

Blanket Purchase Agreements Items on blanket purchase agreements appear in the Oracle iProcurement catalog if the following conditions are met:
■ The blanket purchase agreement is approved and valid (not canceled, closed, finally closed, or frozen).
■ The blanket purchase agreement header and line are active. (Their effective dates include today.)
■ The item belongs to a purchasing category that satisfies the requirements stated in the Purchasing Categories section. The category has been extracted.

Global Agreements Items on global agreements appear in the Oracle iProcurement catalog if the following conditions are met:
■ The global agreement meets the same requirements as given for blanket purchase agreements, above.
■ Since global agreements are created in one operating unit and assigned to others, the following conditions must also be met to ensure that the global agreement is valid in its assigned operating units:

• The supplier site for the item on the global agreement is an active Purchasing site in the assigned operating unit.
• If the item on the global agreement is a master item, the item is defined in the financial system parameters (FSP) organization for the assigned operating unit and is purchaseable in the FSP organization. The FSP organization is the inventory organization specified in the Supplier-Purchasing tabbed region of the Financial Options window. Each operating unit has an FSP organization that contains a bank of valid items for that operating unit. If an item on a global agreement exists in the FSP organization in the operating unit in which the agreement was created but not in the assigned operating unit, then the item is not extracted from the assigned operating unit.
• If the item on the global agreement is a master item, the UOM class used on the agreement must match the UOM class defined for the master item. If the currency on the global agreement differs from the  requester’s functional currency, the rate type from the Purchasing Options (for the requester’s operating unit) and the extraction date are used to perform the currency conversion.
