These List of Values (LOVs) have been enhanced in this release to provide additional search capabilities:

  • Supplier Site LOV: The procurement BU to which the site belongs is now available in the search results display.

Agreement LOV:

You can search and view agreement description when using the Agreement LOV. This feature is available for both Contract Purchase Agreement and Blanket Purchase Agreement LOVs.
