CSC-18834

This feature extends the order confirmation deviation approval process to scheduling agreements and scheduling agreement releases.

In some scenarios, a customer would like to allow a supplier to exceed the defined tolerances (quantity, delivery date or both) when creating confirmations for scheduling agreements (SA) or scheduling agreement releases (SAR). These deviations should then be subject to approval from the customers before they are updated in the backend system. Even when the confirmation deviation approval process is available for regular purchase orders in Ariba Network, it doesn’t consider SA or SAR.

With this feature, Ariba Network helps buyers define logic to capture exceptions (deviations) generated during the scheduling agreement and scheduling agreement release confirmation process and configure order confirmations subject to approval (at default transaction rule level and at supplier group level). Buyers can Approve or Reject the deviations in the Supply Chain Monitor dashboard for one or multiple deviations.
