Query by Example to Filter Search Results by Project and Task Returns Unpredictable Results

Before this update, if you used query by example to filter search results by projects or tasks on the View Requisition Lines or Manage Orders page, the results wouldn't match the filter, meaning the application wouldn't filter out any records that didn't match the value you entered. With this update, query by example for projects and tasks is disabled on these pages. If you want to narrow down your search results to a specific project and task, use the search attributes.

Bypass Purchase Order Approvals While Updating Purchase Agreements Using FBDI

After updating to 24B, users who need to use file-based data import (FBDI) to update blanket and contract purchase agreements with the Bypass approval action must be assigned the Import Purchasing Document Bypassing Approval privilege (PO_BYPASS_PURCHASE_ORDER_APPROVAL_PRIV), in addition to the privilege required to create purchase agreements.

This privilege isn't assigned to any predefined job roles. Whether you manage security using predefined job roles or your own configured job roles, you must assign the Import Purchasing Document Bypassing Approval privilege to users who need to bypass approvals when updating purchase agreements using FBDI.
