Zurich, Yokohama Patch 4, Yokohama, Xanadu
This release delivers key enhancements across ERP and Source-to-Pay integrations, including fixes for cost allocation issues, configuration errors, ACL corrections, and test case inaccuracies. Major improvements were implemented through granular admin roles, dot-walk scoping directives, and refined access control for sourcing and fulfillment roles. Observability has been strengthened with a new metrics tracking framework, as well as installations, connected systems, and spoke usage. Purchase Requisition processing has been significantly enhanced with complete inbound/outbound flows, transform maps, atomicity behavior, and new integration tables. Retry mechanisms for Purchase Order operations have been expanded with UI actions, scheduled jobs, and fetch-retry support. Additional improvements include a configurable Ariba grace period, updates to STD/PRO classification, dynamic choice data gathering, and custom hooks that enable extensible inbound mapping without requiring workflow cloning.
