| Support for custom privacy policies SAP Ariba allows you to configure the Privacy Statement popup that appears at first login. Organizations can link to their own privacy policy, link to the SAP Ariba Privacy Statement, or omit the privacy policy link and the consent prompt altogether.

Ability to import external source data into Custom Forms in bulk By importing form documents in bulk, you can automatically fill out and submit SAP Ariba form documents based on data you've created in other systems. When documents are imported, they're submitted on behalf of the user specified in the Requester field of the import file. The import task lets you choose whether to auto-approve imported documents or have them go through the approval flow.

| Disable email notifications to large groups Some email notifications are sent to users who belongs to a certain Group. Depending on configuration, this would lead to unwanted email notifications being sent to a user group with very large number of members. This feature enables a way to limit email notifications to be sent to large groups. A new parameter, "Application.ACM.TaskEmailGroupLimit", will control whether or not we will send to a group based on a number of users limit. This feature and parameter only applies to task-related notification emails and does not affect emails being sent to groups as part of an approval workflow. |

| Push Notification of OC document failure in Supplier Mobile After a supplier confirms an order, the PO status changes to Confirm, but the actual order confirmation (OC) document might fail due to buyer settings, transaction rules, etc. Currently if the OC fails, the supplier gets an email notification but if the email goes to spam, the supplier is not aware of this confirmation failure until later. This push alert feature in mobile helps the supplier to get informed in real-time and take appropriate action. |
