Which communication method is supported for B2B transactions with suppliers in Oracle Procurement?

Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement utilizes the Collaboration Messaging Framework (CMK) to enable B2B transactions with suppliers. For real-time, system-to-system B2B document exchange (such as transmitting cXML or OAGIS purchase orders and receiving invoices), XML over HTTPS is the natively supported and secure communication protocol. This ensures encrypted, reliable, and instantaneous transmission of procurement documents across the internet between the buying organization and the supplier's order management system.

A: SQL Loader is a database utility used for bulk data loading by administrators, not a protocol for B2B supplier communication. C: Manual CSV Upload is a user-driven data import method, lacking the automated, system-to-system integration required for B2B transactions. D: While FTP can be used for batch file transfers, XML over HTTPS is the standard, real-time protocol required for B2B messaging (like cXML punchout and PO delivery).
