API to update PO_LINE_LOCATIONS table

Question

Does anyone know any public/private API to update po_line_locations table.
We have the following requirement.
-We are planning to implement iSupplier portal for Consignment Suppliers.Since we don't have VMI enabled, We need to create Purchase Orders before suppliers could create ASN.
So, we automated this process by importing Purchase Orders through Open Interface(PDOI).
Oracle has a known BUG with Open Interface that it does not allow importing Consignment PO's.Therefore,We need to update po_line_locations.is_consigned_flag ='Y' after PO is created.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I recommend performing following setups and then try importing the standard PO.
1. Create a blanket purchase agreement mentioning the respective supplier, site, item and price.
2. Create a sourcing rule for the supplier and site used in the BPA.
3. Note the assignment set value from the profile option of "MRP: Default Sourcing Assignment Set".
4. Assign the sourcing rule created in step-2 to the assignment set noted in step-3 as "Item-Organization" assignment.
5. Setup Approved Supplier List (ASL) for the item and map supplier and site mentioned in the BPA.
6. Go to ASL attributes and map the BPA number in the "Source Documents" tab.
7. Next, go to "Inventory" tab of the same form and check the "Consigned from Supplier" checkbox.
Now you try importing the standard PO for the item, supplier and site involved in the above setups.
It should get the CONSIGNED_FLAG checked in the line_locations table, as the standard PO created through front end does the same.
Let me know how you go.
Thanks,
