Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is a protocol that allows the owner of a domain to specify which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of that domain. This helps to prevent spoofing and phishing attacks by verifying the sender's identity. By configuring SPF for your Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement application, you can enable the options for the from and reply to email addresses for supplier onboarding and profile management notifications. This will help your suppliers to trust the notifications and avoid them being marked as spam.

A consignment agreement is a type of purchasing document that defines the terms and conditions for consignment purchases. Consignment purchases are purchases of goods that are paid for only after the goods are used or sold by the purchasing organization. To enable automatic creation of consignment orders from requisitions, you need to create a consignment agreement with touchless buying options enabled on the Controls tab. Touchless buying options allow you to specify the criteria for automatically generating orders from requisitions without human intervention. You can also define the default attributes and processing options for the orders, such as document style, change order tolerance, and communication method.

A document style is a template that defines the layout and content of a purchasing document, such as a purchase order, a purchase agreement, or a requisition. You can create a document style that supports credit lines, which are purchase order lines with a negative amount to record credits to the ordered amount that you have negotiated with your supplier. For example, you can use a credit line to represent credit for an equipment trade-in. You can also specify other attributes for the document style, such as the line types, the change order policies, the approval rules, and the communication methods.
