Overview
A FullAccess user can:
- Set up all their products, configuration, and Commerce Processes details
- Define and change details of their products
- Create rules to be applied on configuring a product
- Create and update their Commerce Processes, which form the basis of a particular commerce transaction.
An outside application can use SOAP messages and web services to interact with Oracle CPQ and take advantage of its features.
Oracle CPQ supports SOAP APIs for the purpose of uploading large amounts of system data; system data can be sent through a client program to CPQ.
To send information to CPQ:
- Data is sent from a client program to an Oracle CPQ API server and modifies data in CPQ.
- The client program gets the result of the API call with a status field, including pass or fail.
Using a SOAP API, you can perform useful tasks such as updating parts and commerce information. This can replace using FTP clients or the Oracle CPQ interface to upload and download data.
