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.)
