Technical Guide: How to Build a Vendor Performance AI Agent in Oracle Fusion AI Agent Studio Release 26A

By Lalit Reddy, Associate Consultant, Centroid

Oracle AI Agent Studio provides a unified, enterprise-grade framework for designing, configuring, and deploying intelligent AI agents that operate on Oracle Fusion data and business processes. This blog serves as a practical and architectural guide for organizations seeking to design an Oracle Fusion AI Agent that generates a quick executive summary of Vendor Performance based on predefined KPIs.

1. Introduction to Oracle AI Agent Studio

Oracle AI Agent Studio is a low-code platform that enables enterprises to:

• Model business entities as reusable Business Objects

• Build AI Agents that understand context and execute actions

• Orchestrate multiple agents through Agent Teams

• Control agent behavior using structured and governed prompting

2. Business Objects in Oracle AI Agent Studio

2.1 Overview of Business Objects

Business Objects represent enterprise data entities that AI agents can understand, query, and manipulate. They provide a semantic abstraction over underlying Fusion tables, REST APIs, or external services.

2.2 Configuring a Business Object

1. Navigate to Business Objects in the application.

2. Click Create Business Object and provide the following details:

• Family and Product – PRC and Self Service Procurement.

• Name and Description – Enter a meaningful name, e.g., Purchase Order Centroid BO.

• Resource Type – Monolith Resource (Choose the appropriate option based on integration needs).

3. Add Path – Enter the resource path, e.g., /purchaseOrders.

4. Add Functions – Define the operations you want to perform (continue in Step 2).

5. Click Done and Save.

Adding Business Object Functions

Once the Business Object is created, the next step is to define functions (operations) that the agent can perform, such as Get, Get all, creating or updating records.

2.2.1 Adding Operations from Specifications

1. Navigate to the Business Object Functions tab of the Business Object.
2. Click Add from Specifications. (Prebuild functions)
3. From the available operations, select the desired function (e.g., Get, Get All Purchase Orders or Get  Purchase Orders Lines, schedules).

2.2.2 Configure Get all Purchase Orders Operation

1. Select the “get all Purchase Orders” Operation and click on Done.
2. Enter the Name and Description for the operation.
3. Added some parameters according to the requirements like q and fields.
   1. URL – { /fscmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/purchaseOrders?q=Status=’Closed’&fields=POHeaderId,OrderNumber,Status,ProcurementBU,OrderNumber,Supplier,SupplierId,Total,Currency,Description,OrderDate,BuyerDisplayName,BillToLocation,ShipToLocationCode&onlyData=true&limit=50}

4. Thereis no requirement for a payload or Headers for this Operation.
5. Once the configuration is complete, click Done, and then Save

2.2.3 Configure Get Purchase Order Operation

1. Within the same Business Object, add another operation by clicking Add from Specifications.
2. Select the Get Purchase Order operation.
3. Enter name and description for the operation.
4. By default, you will have URL parameter {POHeaderId} in URL add a description to the parameters and as per requirement we reduced the fields.
   1. URL: {/fscmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/purchaseOrders/{POHeaderId}?fields=POHeaderId,OrderNumber,Status,ProcurementBU,OrderNumber,Supplier,SupplierId,Total,Currency,Description,OrderDate,BuyerDisplayName,BillToLocation,ShipToLocationCode,lines&onlyData=true }
5. Once configuration is complete, click Done, and then Save.

2.2.4: Configure Get Purchase Order using Order Number Operation

1. Within the same Business Object, add another operation by clicking Add from Specifications.
2. Select the Get Purchase Order operation.
3. Enter unique name and description for the operation.
4. By default, you will not have URL parameter in URL , so to get the details using Order Number we need to pass it in the Q parameter add in the URL and also add a  description in Parameter section.
   1. URL: { /fscmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/purchaseOrders?q=OrderNumber='{OrderNumber}’&q=Status=’Closed’&fields=POHeaderId,OrderNumber,Status,ProcurementBU,OrderNumber,Supplier,SupplierId,Total,Currency,Description,OrderDate,BuyerDisplayName,BillToLocation,ShipToLocationCode,lines&onlyData=true&limit=100 }
5. Once configuration is complete, click Done, and then Save.

2.2.5: Configure Get Purchase Order Lines & Schedules Operation

1. Within the same Business Object, add another operation by clicking Add from Specifications.
2. Select the Get all lines operation in the line operation under PurchaseOrders.
3. Enter unique name and description for the operation.
4. By default, you will have URL parameter {OrderHeaderId}, so to get the details of schedules for each corresponding line we used “expand” query parameter.
   1. URL: { /fscmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/purchaseOrders/{OrderHeaderId}/child/lines?fields=POLineId,LineNumber,Quantity,schedules&expand=schedules&onlyData=true&limit=50}
5. Once configuration is complete, click Done, and then Save.

2.3 Configuring the Deep Links:

1. Navigate to AI Agents Studio → Deep Links and Create New.
2. Click Add to create a new deep link definition select the desired family & Product.
3. Enter a unique Name {Purchase Orders Deep Link Centroid} and Description for the deep link.
4. In the Relative URL field, enter:
   1. URL: { /fscmUI/redwood/purchase-orders/view?intent=POUser&poHeaderId={phid} }
5. In the Message field, enter:
   Click {deepLink} for details.
6. In the Parameters section, click Add Row and configure:

• • Parameter Name: phid
  • Description: PO Header id
  • Data Type: Integer
  • (Optional) Enter a sample value for testing.

7. Verify the URL parameter {phid} correctly maps to the Purchase Order Header ID.
8. Once configuration iscomplete, click Done (if applicable) and then Save to activate the deep link.

Leverage AI to optimize enterprise workflows

Oracle Fusion AI Agent Studio Release 26A demonstrates how governed AI can be embedded directly into enterprise procurement workflows. By combining structured Business Objects, configurable Tools, role-based security, LLM-driven reasoning, and orchestrated Agent Teams, organizations can operationalize supplier performance analytics without disrupting existing Fusion processes.

The Vendor Performance AI Agent illustrates a repeatable architecture pattern:

• Fusion REST resources exposed as Business Objects

• Deterministic KPI calculations (OTD%, Completeness%, Vendor Bucket)

• Context-aware reasoning through LLM integration

• Secure deployment via Agent Teams

This approach ensures traceability, compliance alignment, and scalability while transforming transactional procurement data into actionable executive insights. As enterprises mature their AI adoption strategy, such governed agent frameworks will become foundational to intelligent decision automation within Oracle Fusion environments.
