Thread: Warning when trying to create Purchasing Document Complete Award in R11

After upgrade to Release 11, Customer started getting waring, when they are trying to create Purchase Order from Complete Award in Negotiation. Customer expectation to fix the issue in release 11 as it was working in release10.
Steps:
1. Create Negotiation
2. Received response from Suppliers
3. Manage Negotiation Actions -> Award -> Award Negotiation
4. Apply award to the line
5. 'Complete Award' option
6. Trying to create Purchasing Document and getting getting warning.

'You will not be able to create purchasing documents in the external application because the target purchasing service URL is empty
Do you want to continue?'


The 'Purchasing Documents' field was introduced in Release 11 as part of the award web service feature. For details, please refer to the Whats New document and the Release Training:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/tutorial/cloud/r11/wn/r11_procurement_wn.htm#_Toc443569446

If the 'Purchasing Documents' field is greyed out, it is likely because Purchasing is not set as implemented in the setup offerings and therefore 'Export using web service' is the only option available for purchasing documents creation. Once the target URL is defined for the award service using the 'Configure Negotiation Award Outbound Service' setup task, the warning will not be displayed anymore.
In 'Configure Procurement Business Function' screen 'Purchasing Documents' is available with "Create in Oracle Fusion Purchasing" and "Export using web service". Since this comes under "Sourcing" section.

For the field 'Purchasing Documents' to be enabled, and for you to be able to select 'Create in Oracle Fusion Purchasing', you need to ensure that the offering 'Purchasing' is set to 'Implemented' in the customer instance. On the setup and maintenance page, check the Configure: Procurement page for the Procurement offering. Implementation Status column for Purchasing should be marked as 'Implemented'.
