	Additional Supplier Contact Information on Multi-Line Request for Quotes [GB-28422] This feature enables you to have more visibility and control with suppliers when you submit a request for quote (RFQ). Previously, supplier contact information on RFQs included only the name and email address, and RFQs were sent to all of the supplier's contacts. You might have needed additional contact information and the wrong contacts might have received the RFQ. Now, the supplier contact information includes the name, email address, and phone number, and optionally, RFQs can be sent to the primary contact and Bid/Proposal Managers.	2411
	Support to Classify Line Item Level Attachments to be Shared With Suppliers in the 2NV and 3EN Integration Scenarios for SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud [GB-17568] In the Guided Buying Capability with SAP Ariba Buying (2NV) integration scenario and the Guided Buying for Central Procurement with SAP Ariba Buying (‏3EN‏) integration scenario, this feature enables buyers to indicate in a request whether a line item level attachment is to be shared with suppliers. This information about sharing the attachment with suppliers is sent in the request to SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud.	2408
	Support for OData V4 APIs in the 2NV and 3EN Integration Scenarios for SAP S/4HANA Cloud [GB-21738] This feature enables support for version 4 OData APIs in guided buying with SAP S/4HANA or SAP S/4HANA Cloud in the 2NV and 3EN integration scenarios.

	Copy Additional RFQ Information to Requisitions [GB-23882] Guided buying can now copy more information from RFQ events to purchase requisitions, so users and suppliers have needed information for ordered items or services.	2408	(future)	(Starting 2408)
	More Complete Shipping Information for Requisitions with SAP S/4HANA in 2NV and 3EN Integration Scenarios [GB-26715] When this feature is enabled, additional shipping information from requisitions in guided buying are available in SAP S/4HANA in the 2NV and 3EN integration scenarios. Previously, only basic shipping information was sent to SAP S/4HANA. Additional information, like the phone number, fax number, and email address, wasn't included. This might have caused a delay in the receiving process. Now, additional shipping information on requisitions is sent to SAP S/4HANA, which could help users receive items or services more quickly.	2408
	Support for The Japan Subcontract Act in Guided Buying [GB-8176]  If the supplier is a subcontractor but they're not labeled as such, this results in penalties. Guided buying now offers support for the Subcontract Act by populating subcontractor information based on supplier master data and providing in-app messaging for editing subcontractor information.	2402
	Multi-Line RFQ Tiles Support "allowSubcategory" [GB-24203]  Tiles for new-style RFQs now support the allowSubcategory attribute, which allows users to select a more specific product or service. RFQs containing multiple lines allow users to select different codes for each line. When users choose more specific codes, your policies have finer control, SAP Ariba Sourcing can better manage RFQs, and you can produce more detailed reporting.	2402
	Automated User Experience Survey in Guided Buying [GB-24766]  This feature introduces automated surveys on the guided buying home page to collect data about the user experience. A survey automatically appears on the home page if the user is inactive for two minutes, and if a response isn't recorded the survey keeps appearing until the questions are answered. The questions on the survey change every 90 days, but they only need to be answered once per user. The data gathered from the surveys is used by the SAP Central Design team to make decisions about how guided buying can be improved.	2402	Future	starting 2402
	Faster User Interface Response Through Optimized Validation [GB-24841]  Guided buying can now speed up user interface response by validating only necessary form fields. It validates only those fields that are used in the Expression sheet in your validation policy, and only when users open a saved request for editing or click Submit in the Checkout or Non-PO Invoice page.	2402	starting 2405	starting 2402
	New Parameter Allows PunchOut with Browser Cookies [GB-27088]  A new parameter named PARAM_ENABLE_PUNCHOUT_REDIRECT allows guided buying to continue to support PunchOut with supplier sites that use browser cookies.	2402
