R12 Purchasing setups with Detail explanation-Part 1

Overview of Setting up
This section contains an overview of each step you need to complete to set up Oracle Purchasing. For instructions on how to complete each task, see the setup sections indicated in each step.

Multiple Reporting Currencies:

If you plan to use Multiple Reporting Currencies (MRC) with Oracle Purchasing, additional setup steps are required. See: Multiple Reporting Currencies in Oracle Applications.

Setup Checklist:

Some of the steps outlined in the setup checklist are required, and some are Optional. Required Step with Defaults means that the setup functionality comes with pre-seeded, default values in the database; however, you should review those defaults and decide whether to change them to suit your business needs. If you want or need to change them, you should perform that setup step. You need to perform Optional steps only if you plan to use the related feature or complete certain business functions. Some of the setup steps you may not need to perform if you've already performed a common-application setup (setting up multiple Oracle Applications products).The following table lists setup steps and a reference to their Oracle Application. After you log on to Oracle Applications, complete these steps to implement Purchasing:
