Oracle E-Business Suite and JAGGAER integration

What moves between them

The main flow runs from Oracle E-Business Suite into JAGGAER. Purchase orders, vendors, and invoice headers created in Oracle EBS sync to JAGGAER suppliers and purchase orders on a schedule aligned with your procurement cycle. Vendor master data such as vendor name, site address, and payment terms are mapped to JAGGAER supplier attributes. In the reverse direction, invoice receipts and matching status from JAGGAER flow back to Oracle EBS GL accounts and interface tables, allocated to the correct GL code combination and cost center. GL postings may be asynchronous, with Oracle EBS concurrent programs processing interface table inserts over several minutes or hours.

How ml-connector handles it

ml-connector stores both credential sets encrypted. On the Oracle EBS side, it accepts the full customer-hosted hostname and port, authenticates via HTTP Basic or session token (refreshing the token on 401), and includes all required context headers (responsibility, responsibility application, security group, language, organization). On the JAGGAER side, it uses OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials to obtain a bearer token from the J1P token endpoint and includes it on every subsequent request. Because both systems are pull-only, ml-connector polls Oracle EBS for new or modified vendors and purchase orders via LAST_UPDATE_DATE filtering, then maps them to JAGGAER suppliers and purchase orders, and polls JAGGAER invoices to sync receipt status back to Oracle EBS interface tables. Vendor master data is mapped first so purchase orders reference valid suppliers in JAGGAER and GL accounts in Oracle EBS. Oracle EBS session tokens expire every 30 to 60 minutes, so ml-connector refreshes tokens proactively and resets the session on expiry. Because writes to Oracle EBS interface tables are asynchronous (a concurrent program processes the insert and imports to base tables), ml-connector tracks job submission timestamps and polls for completion status. Every record carries a full audit trail and can be replayed if a downstream import fails.

A real-world example

A mid-sized manufacturing company runs Oracle E-Business Suite on premises for procurement, payables, and general ledger, and has deployed JAGGAER in the cloud for Source-to-Pay, supplier collaboration, and invoice automation. Before the integration, the procurement team created purchase orders in Oracle EBS, then manually entered them into JAGGAER for supplier visibility and invoice matching, and later re-entered invoice receipts from JAGGAER back into Oracle EBS as GL accounts. With Oracle E-Business Suite and JAGGAER connected, new purchase orders flow automatically from EBS to JAGGAER, vendors created in EBS appear in JAGGAER's supplier network, and invoice receipts from JAGGAER sync back to EBS GL accounts without manual re-entry. Procurement time drops, invoice matching accuracy improves, and the accounts payable team can close the ledger faster.

What you can do

• •Sync purchase orders from Oracle E-Business Suite to JAGGAER on a scheduled cadence aligned with your procurement cycle.
• •Map Oracle EBS vendors to JAGGAER suppliers, including vendor name, site address, and payment terms.
• •Post invoice receipts and matching status from JAGGAER back to Oracle EBS GL code combinations and interface tables.
• •Authenticate Oracle EBS via HTTP Basic or session token and JAGGAER via OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials, with automatic token refresh and session management.
• •Poll both systems on a schedule with retries, interface table import tracking, and a full audit trail on every record.

Questions

Which direction does data move between Oracle E-Business Suite and JAGGAER?

The main flow is Oracle EBS to JAGGAER. Purchase orders and vendors from EBS sync to JAGGAER suppliers and purchase orders. In the reverse direction, invoice receipts and matching status from JAGGAER flow back to Oracle EBS GL accounts and interface tables for accounts payable processing. The two systems remain synchronized on both vendor master data and open purchase order activity.

How does the integration handle Oracle EBS session tokens and JAGGAER OAuth 2.0 authentication?

ml-connector stores both credential sets encrypted and handles each system's auth protocol independently. On Oracle EBS it obtains a session token via the login endpoint, includes all required context headers (responsibility, responsibility application, security group, language, organization), and refreshes the token when a request returns 401 or when the session times out (typically 30 to 60 minutes). On JAGGAER it uses OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials to request a bearer token from the J1P token endpoint and includes it on every subsequent request.

What happens when a write to Oracle EBS interface tables does not immediately complete?

Writes to Oracle EBS interface tables are asynchronous; a concurrent program processes the insert and imports data to base tables over several minutes or hours. ml-connector tracks the submission timestamp, polls the interface table for completion status, and flags the record in the audit trail if the import is delayed or fails. The record can be replayed manually if you need to re-trigger the import.
