A supplier portal for Oracle ERP Cloud — unbundled and white-label.
Oracle's Supplier Portal is powerful but bundled with Procurement Cloud licensing and requires Identity Cloud Service provisioning for external users. Sourced offers a standalone white-label alternative: your brand, no Oracle licenses for vendors, synced via REST.

The problem
Oracle Supplier Portal (part of the Oracle Procurement Cloud suite) gives suppliers access to POs, invoices, and negotiation responses. The friction: it requires Oracle licensing for the buying organization, Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) provisioning for each external user, and Oracle-branded UX that suppliers must learn. For mid-market Oracle customers or buying organizations that prefer a lighter-weight, branded alternative, the Oracle portal is overkill.
The solution
Sourced provides a standalone white-label supplier portal that connects to Oracle ERP Cloud via REST APIs. Suppliers log in with their own credentials on your-brand.suppliers.yourcompany.com, complete self-onboarding, respond to RFQs and RFPs, upload invoices with OCR matching, and track PO status. All actions sync bi-directionally to Oracle — vendor records, invoices, goods receipts — with no Oracle licenses required for vendor access.
Vendors don't need Oracle licenses or IDCS accounts
Oracle REST API syncs vendor records, invoices, and receipts bi-directionally
White-label branding in your domain — not Oracle's
How the portal works with Oracle.
Supplier invited and onboarded
Your team sends an invite from Sourced. The supplier lands on your white-label portal and begins guided self-onboarding.
Vendor master sync to Oracle
Completed supplier profiles create or update the supplier record in Oracle ERP Cloud via REST API — feeding Oracle Supplier Management with clean, structured data.
RFQ and RFP participation
Active sourcing events appear in the portal. Suppliers respond with structured quotes, technical documents, and pricing — fed into Sourced's comparison engine.
Invoice submission with OCR
Suppliers upload invoices. Sourced runs OCR, matches against the Oracle PO and goods receipt, and creates the AP invoice in Oracle when matching clears.
ASN and receipt confirmation
Advance shipment notices from suppliers, combined with warehouse receipt confirmation in Sourced, create the goods receipt in Oracle Purchasing automatically.

Why Oracle customers choose the Sourced portal.
Unbundled from Oracle Procurement Cloud licensing
If you don't want to license Oracle Procurement Cloud solely for vendor portal access, Sourced is the standalone option. Your Oracle ERP Cloud stays focused; supplier self-service lives in Sourced.
White-label — your brand on the portal
Custom domain, logo, colors. Suppliers experience a first-party vendor hub from your company, not a multi-tenant Oracle-branded portal.
REST API integration — direct and flexible
Sourced talks to Oracle ERP Cloud through its standard REST APIs. No Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) license strictly required. If you already have OIC, Sourced can route through it.
Supplier self-onboarding at scale
Guided onboarding with document versioning, certification tracking, and automated expiry notifications. Completed profiles sync to Oracle as clean vendor master records.
Invoice OCR with 3-way matching against Oracle
Uploaded invoices are OCR-ed, matched against the Oracle PO and goods receipt, and posted as AP invoices only when matching clears. Exceptions route to your AP team in Sourced before touching Oracle.
Coexists with existing Oracle portals
If you have suppliers already on Oracle Supplier Portal, they can continue there while new suppliers onboard to Sourced. Unified dashboards cover both.
Frequently asked questions.
How is this different from Oracle Supplier Portal?
Oracle Supplier Portal is bundled with Oracle Procurement Cloud and requires Oracle licensing plus IDCS provisioning for vendor access. Suppliers see Oracle's UI. Sourced is a standalone white-label portal that syncs to Oracle ERP Cloud via REST — no Oracle licenses for vendors, your branding, vendor data flows to Oracle Supplier Management.
Do suppliers need Oracle accounts?
No. Suppliers log in to your Sourced portal with credentials Sourced issues. They don't need any Oracle account or IDCS provisioning. All sync happens server-to-server via REST with a Sourced service user.
Can we use this alongside our existing Oracle Supplier Portal?
Yes. Legacy Oracle Supplier Portal users can continue using it; new suppliers can onboard through Sourced. A unified dashboard in Sourced covers both channels.
What Oracle records does Sourced write to?
Via REST API: supplier master (create/update), AP invoices (after matching), goods receipts, and optionally purchasing contracts for reference. All writes are scoped through the Sourced service user's authorized permissions in Oracle.
Does this work with Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) or JDE?
The Oracle ERP Cloud / Fusion REST integration is what's described here. Oracle EBS and JD Edwards have different APIs (REST Repository for EBS, AIS for JDE) — Sourced supports those separately. Contact us to discuss your specific Oracle stack.
How does supplier authentication work?
Suppliers set up email-based credentials on the Sourced portal. Optionally, Sourced supports SSO / OIDC if you want to federate supplier identities through a dedicated Identity provider you control (not Oracle IDCS).
How does invoice 3-way match work across Oracle and Sourced?
Sourced OCR extracts invoice line items; Sourced queries Oracle via REST for the matching PO and goods receipt, compares line-by-line, flags discrepancies, and creates the Oracle AP invoice only when matching clears. Exceptions stay in Sourced for AP review before any posting to Oracle.
Timeline to deploy?
Two to four weeks including REST API setup in sandbox and production, portal branding, onboarding workflow configuration, and initial supplier invites.
