	Integrations
	Automatically On
	Integration Support to Indicate Final Service Sheet in the 42K Integration Scenario [IG-53324] Suppliers on SAP Business Network can use the *Final Service Sheet* checkbox to indicate that all services are fulfilled in a service sheet. Buyers on SAP S/4HANA Cloud or SAP S/4HANA integrated with SAP Business Network using SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway for spend management and SAP Business Network in the 42K integration scenario can view this indicator in the service sheet. Buyers can then approve or reject the service sheet.
	Support Goods Receipt for STO with B2B - X12 944 4010 Out [SBNI-1031] This feature addresses the integration requirement for the Stock Transport Order (STO) scenario. Currently, when an OEM performs a goods issue, a goods receipt is generated and available in the Portal UI. However, Contract Manufacturers (CMs) expect the goods receipt for STO to be received as an EDI 944 document. This enhancement ensures that the system automatically generates and sends an EDI 944 document to the CM whenever a goods receipt is created for an STO scenario.
	Support Consignment Purchase Order in S/4HANA Public Cloud–SAP Business Network Integration [SBNI-2374] This feature ensures that consignment purchase orders created in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud are automatically sent to suppliers with the correct consignment item details in SAP Business Network, helping buyers and suppliers avoid errors and process orders smoothly.
