Initiate Change Proposals on Rejected Purchase Orders via FBDI
Before update 26A, buyers could propose changes to purchase orders that were rejected during supplier acknowledgment via the UI and through the draft purchase orders REST resource. After you update to 26A, buyers will be able to initiate change proposals for purchase orders rejected during supplier acknowledgment using FBDI.

Initiate Change Proposals on Rejected Purchase Agreements via FBDI and REST Services
Before update 26A, buyers could propose changes to purchase agreements that were rejected during supplier acknowledgement only through the UI. After you update to 26A, buyers will also be able to initiate change proposals on purchase agreements rejected during supplier acknowledgment through FBDI, and also through the Purchase Agreement Import Requests REST resource.

No More Empty Rows When Editing Incomplete POs
Before update 26A, a new, empty row would appear in the lines table when editing a previously saved incomplete purchase order. This could cause confusion to users because it looked as if the application added a line to the purchase order. After you update to 26A, an empty row will only appear when creating a standalone purchase order to aid in entering lines on the PO. For POs that already have lines on them, you will need to use the Add Row button to add more lines.

Use Current Date to Source a Blanket Purchase Agreement on Purchase Orders and Requisitions
Before update 26A, the application used the requested dates to source a purchase order and purchase requisition to a blanket purchase agreement. After you update to 26A, the application will use the current date instead of the requested dates if both these conditions are true:
- The Use Order Date to Determine the Price on Purchase Orders feature is opted in.
- The Use order date for order pricing option is checked on the blanket purchase agreement.

View Invoiced Quantity, Received Quantity, and Amount While Editing or Viewing a Change Order
Before update 26A, the purchase order change order pages didn’t display the invoiced quantity, received quantity, and received amount. After you update to 26A, you can view these fields along with the invoiced amount.

Only View Standard Invoices on the Purchase Order Life Cycle Page
Before this update, the Purchase Order Life Cycle page displayed all invoice types, including prepayment invoices, retainage release invoices, debit memos, and credit memos, even though these don't contribute to the invoice total. After you update to 26A, you can use the context filter on the Invoices table to narrow down the view and show only standard invoices. However, by default, all invoice types will still be displayed in the Invoices table.
