With this feature, buyers can configure types of deviations for quantity, delivery date, or price. This allows certain suppliers to exceed tolerances if the buyer approves the order confirmation. This configuration can be made for supplier groups or as a default transaction rule that applies to all suppliers.
Currently, customers can enable an order confirmation deviation approval process (either for all suppliers or for a group of suppliers). However, when enabled it is applied to quantity, price and date deviations. Customers require the ability to configure this process for a specific type of deviations only (for example, only for price deviations or only for date deviations).
Customers now have a more flexible order confirmation approval process to define what specific types of deviation trigger a special approval process.

- Transaction rule Allow suppliers to send order confirmations that do not comply with defined tolerances and require buyer approval is enabled.
This feature does not apply to purchase orders that contain the cXML element <Extrinsic name="OCDeviationApproval">notAllowed</Extrinsic>. This element excludes the order from the deviation approval process. Suppliers can’t send order confirmations for such purchase orders if they exceed defined tolerances.
