	Tax Invoicing in Belgium [NG-8736] SAP Business Network supports creating and processing of EN-16931 compliant invoices to address relevant Belgian B2B regulations, if the buyer activates this feature. In this case, the UBL invoice issued in SAP Business Network shall constitute as the legal invoice, whereas the cXML file is used only for data transfer and processing purposes.
	E-Invoicing in Poland for Outbound Invoices [NG-9059] Suppliers in Poland can now submit the invoices that are created in SAP Business Network directly to the Polish tax authority portal, Krajowy System e-Faktur (KSeF). SAP Business Network converts the system readable cXML invoice into the Polish FA xml e-invoice format and sends it to the KSeF portal for validation of the invoice. Only valid FA xml e-invoice from the KSeF portal will be processed in the SAP Business Network system. Buyers will receive the cXML invoice along with the FA xml e-invoice and a PDF version of the invoice as attachments. Note: This feature will be enabled for all customers with the 2512 release.
	Enable 4R2 Service Procurement Process for Standard Account Suppliers [NP-57779] When SAP Fieldglass sends a Service Entry Sheet (SES), SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway for spend management and SAP Business Network processes and routes it to the SAP Business Network supplier account. However, this routing is designed for enterprise supplier accounts, and not for standard supplier accounts. This limitation blocks standard account suppliers from using the 4R2 integration, which relies on SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway for spend management and SAP Business Network for SES delivery. Now, SAP Business Network is configured to consume SES documents sent by SAP Fieldglass using SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway for spend management and SAP Business Network, regardless of the supplier’s account type, whether it is standard or enterprise.
	Preferred Language Support for Buyers and Suppliers [NP-61450] This feature adds a new dropdown Preferred Language in the Account Settings page under Language and Region entitlement where admin can set the Preferred Language at an org level.
	Account Linking in NextGen [NP-62741] This feature enables users to identify multiple accounts linked to the same organization or individual.
	Next Generation Discovery [PAY-25168] Next Generation SAP Business Network Discovery is an independent application created using the SAP BTP platform and SAP Fiori user experience, enabling customers to enjoy a seamless onboarding experience, eliminate delays, and achieve exceptional performance.
	Support for Managing Remit To Addresses on Company Profile [SA-55009] Suppliers can now manage their Remit To addresses directly under the Additional Entities tab of the Company Profile, ensuring consistent and accurate address information across invoicing and payment processes.
	Customer Configured
	Support Auto Generation of a Line Item Credit Memo from a Revised Service Entry Sheet for Fieldglass Integration (4R2) [NP-28980] This feature enables suppliers to make corrections a service entry sheet (SES) in Fieldglass, if the SES is already invoiced in SAP Business Network. When a SES is corrected or revised, the previously created SES is canceled, a new SES is created, and a line item credit memo is automatically generated in SAP Business Network.
	Support Auto Generation of a Line Item Credit Memo from a Revised Service Entry Sheet for 42K and Commerce Automation [NP-34675] This feature enables suppliers to make corrections or revise a service entry sheet (SES) if the SES is already invoiced in SAP Business Network. When a SES is corrected or revised, the previously created SES is canceled, a new SES is created, and a line item credit memo is automatically generated in SAP Business Network. Previously, after a service sheet had been approved or invoiced, suppliers were able to make a corrections to the service sheets but assigning negative values and the line item credit memo was not auto generated. For this reason, the service sheet was not correctly processed by the buyer and they have to implement a custom logic. The service sheet correction with negative values is not supported out of the box.

This enhancement provides a standardized integration path for suppliers using EDIFACT, allowing buyers to gain real-time visibility into supplier inventory levels and supporting manufacturing visibility requirements.
	Support Self-Billing Invoices with B2B – EDIFACT INVOIC D.96A [SBNI-2375] This feature introduces support for generating self-billing invoices (Evaluated Receipt Settlement – ERS) in EDIFACT INVOIC D.96A format.
