Raise a Business Event When Invoice to PO Matching is Done

Question

Hello,
There is a business requirement to capture when an invoice is matched to a PO in real time. By "capture" I mean queue an XML message containing the invoice number, PO number and the date when matched was done.
I have searched the integration repository for an Oracle supplied business event that is triggered on PO matching but I could not find any.
Any suggestions on how to implement a solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

One option is to write a custom trigger that fires on insert/update to ap_invoice_distributions_all table.
The condition to check is "po_distribution_id is not null"
If near real-time is ok, then you can have the trigger update a DFF on the ap_invoice_distributions_all to Y.
And then you have another process that runs every x minutes. The process looks for all records with DFF=Y; forms and sends an XML message and then set the DFF=N.
If you must have real-time, then the trigger needs to form and send an XML.
Hope this helps,
