This feature allows Ariba Network suppliers to override their default routing method for orders that match up to twenty exceptions instead of only five. Suppliers can use this feature to prevent types of orders from being routed to a supplier's external integration channel. An order that matches the condition specified for an exception is routed to up to five email addresses instead.

The following types of conditions are supported for each order routing exception you create:

• External Document Type
• Item Category
• Extrinsic Transaction Category Type
• Location Code.

In addition, the logic operator between them can be chosen now, it used to be only "AND".

Note: This feature shares the KT with the Supplier search by keywords feature.

Allow additional supplier contact emails for order routing
This feature enables requesters to provide an additional supplier direct sales contact to send the PO email to apart from the designated supplier contact. This can be used when creating a requisition for both public as well as private suppliers, for email, electronic as well as manual orders.

The existing capability to ˜Resend PO" has been extended to the requester of the PO, as well as to suppliers with ˜Preferred ordering method" as ˜Online." The PO email will now also be resent to the designated supplier contact, apart from any additional supplier direct sales contact specified. (This is a change from the earlier behavior wherein the user could choose to resend to the ad-hoc supplier email address only.)
