    "intro": "This test validates that Oracle Fusion Procurement can inactivate a supplier or a specific supplier site using a valid effective date and inactivation reason, and that the record's status and downstream availability correctly reflect the inactivation.",
    "confirms": [
      "the supplier or supplier site selected for inactivation is currently active and eligible for the action",
      "the effective date and inactivation reason are captured accurately",
      "the supplier or site status updates to inactive as of the effective date",
      "new downstream transactions against the inactivated supplier or site are prevented appropriately, subject to customer configuration",
      "historical transactions already recorded against the supplier or site remain visible and unaffected",
      "the inactivation is retained on the supplier record for later inquiry"
    ],
    "scope_note": "This scenario validates the Supplier Inactivation event itself — the final stage of the supplier lifecycle covered in this cluster. Exact downstream restrictions and whether an inactivated supplier or site can later be reactivated depend on the customer's specific Oracle Fusion configuration, and are not assumed beyond what is explicitly included in the tested scope."
