RFQ & RFM Email History Logging
Outbound email notifications are now automatically recorded directly in the History tab of your Sourcing Request (RFQ) and Supplier Response (RFM) documents.

PURCHASING
Withdraw a Purchase Requisition from Approval
Requesters can now withdraw a Purchase Requisition from the approval process as long as it has not yet been approved.
If changes are required, the requester can stop the current approval process, update the PR, and submit it for approval again.
This helps avoid inconsistencies and ensures that both requesters and approvers always work with the correct and up-to-date version of the Purchase Requisition.

Print Purchase Requisitions with One Click
We are introducing a new Print function for Purchase Requisitions.
Users can now generate a printable version of the PR directly from the document, including all relevant information in one place.
This makes it easier to share, archive, or use Purchase Requisitions outside the application
Ref : CDEV-13122 💲
Download PR and Approval Task Lists
A new Download option is now available for Purchase Requisition and Approval Task lists.
Users can export the information currently displayed in the list with a single click. This makes it easier to review the data outside the application, share it with colleagues, or use it for further processing.
Ref : CDEV-12963 ✅
Document Flow Now Available in Purchase Orders and Service Entry Sheets
The Document Flow, previously available in Purchase Requisitions, is now also available in Purchase Orders and Service Entry Sheets.
Users can now check the related document flow directly from the Purchase Order or Service Entry Sheet they are working in, without having to navigate back to the Purchase Requisition.
This makes it easier to follow the purchasing process and understand how the related documents are connected.
Ref : CDEV-12966 ✅
Change in Approval Process for Purchase Requisitions in Draft mode
Approvers will now see an alert identifying the owner if an active draft exists on a Purchase Requisition before approving. To prevent confusion, a quick confirmation pop-up will guide your next steps, and the Submit button on PR draft is now hidden for anyone who isn't the draft owner.

Barcode Scanning for MyCart
Customers can now scan physical article or shelf barcodes to instantly find and add items to your cart. The system automatically matches products using their Buyer AID, Supplier AID, or EAN. Just scan, enter your quantity, and push items straight to your Basket without manual searching.

Extend the Approval Inbox by adding a new "Total Value" column

Approvers can now see the total value of each Purchase Requisition (PR) directly in the list, before opening the document.
This gives approvers a better overview of the requests they need to work on.

Document search by filter "created by" after user deactivation
