Cumulative aggregation of ratings in internal forms or questionnaires of modular questionnaire projects [SM-32493] This feature enables internal stakeholders of your organization to enter ratings in one or more internal forms or internal questionnaires of a project.

Ability for requesters and approvers to edit supplier addresses in supplier requests with Dun & Bradstreet lookup [SM-34928] This feature adds the ability for requesters and approvers to edit fields in Extended Address answers in supplier requests that use Dun & Bradstreet lookup. The initial D&B lookup populates the request with address information from D&B, and previously none of this information was editable. With this enhancement, requesters and approvers can edit D&B Extended Address answers in the request to add missing information, including required answers, or to make corrections. |
|||||||
Ability for Questionnaire Recipients in Internal Registrations to See and Edit Otherwise Masked Answers [SM-35073] This feature introduces the ability for the internal recipients of external questionnaires in registrations on behalf of suppliers to see and edit answers that are otherwise masked, even if they're not members of the Sensitive Data Access group. Masked answers can be prepopulated data from other sources such as an ERP system, or they can be answers that the recipient previously provided and for which an approver has requested more information. This ability enables internal recipients to complete internal registrations on behalf of suppliers by updating those answers in their assigned questionnaires without granting them access to sensitive data in all questionnaires. |
|||||||
Usability Enhancements to Create a Process for one or More Suppliers at a Time Through the User Interface [SM-35109] Customers can create qualification and miscellaneous processes for one or more suppliers at a time to evaluate them for a specific combination of commodities, regions, and departments based on information in modular questionnaires. However, a few suppliers may have the process already created for them for the same combination. A few other suppliers might have the process creation in various stages with statuses such as In Progress, Qualified, Pending Decision, and so on. This feature provides functionality that automatically excludes suppliers with duplicate processes. For example, the system automatically excludes suppliers that have a status of In Progress for the process being created. |
|||||||
Ability to Access Process Creation Status When a Process is Created for One or More Suppliers at a Time [SM-35129] Customers can create qualification and miscellaneous processes for one or more suppliers at a time to evaluate them for a specific combination of commodities, regions, and departments based on information in modular questionnaires. This feature provides status information on whether a process created by customers for one or more suppliers has succeeded, failed, or is in some other status. |
|||||||
Default Sample Property File Enhancements [SM-36155] This feature introduces an enhancement to the default sample property file to improve the user experience. Previously, on the SM Administration Default field values page, when users export the sample file with field names, the AribaBuy fields were included in the default sample property file. Now, the AribaBuy fields are removed from the default sample property file. |
|||||||
Support for supplier full names of up to 140 characters in supplier imports from sourcing [SM-36157] This feature enhances the existing Supplier from Sourcing data import task to support import of full supplier names with up to 140 characters in sites that use the supplier full name feature.
