Update Agreement Controls from External Applications

Update order processing controls for purchase agreements from external applications using file-based data import or REST resources. Before this update, you could only add new business unit assignments using FBDI or REST resources but couldn't update them. With this update, this restriction has been removed.

You can now create and update purchase agreements with these attributes using the file-based data import and Purchase Agreement Import Requests REST API.
