SourceDay is enhancing the Accept/Propose experience to provide greater visibility into purchase order changes and active proposals.
These improvements help suppliers quickly understand what has changed on a purchase order and make more informed decisions when reviewing updates.
Important: Your workflow has not changed. You will continue to review and respond to purchase order changes using the Accept/Propose process as you do today.
These enhancements provide:
- Greater visibility into buyer updates
- Clearer understanding of purchase order changes
- Improved proposal tracking
- Better context for delivery date discussions
- Faster review and response to purchase order updates
The goal of these improvements is to make purchase order collaboration more transparent while maintaining the workflow you already use today.
What's changing?
Enhanced buyer update clarity
When a buyer makes updates in their ERP system, SourceDay will now provide more detailed information about what changed.
Previously, you may have been asked to review a purchase order update without clear visibility into the specific changes that occurred.
Now, the Risk popover will clearly identify the updates made by the buyer.
Examples include:
- The buyer updated the ship-to address on this PO line.
- The buyer updated the means of transport on this PO line.
- The buyer updated the ship-to address and means of transport on this PO line.
This additional context helps you understand why the purchase order requires review.
Additional purchase order details
You may also see important purchase order information directly in the Accept/Propose window such as:
- Item Name
- Item Description
- PO Revision
- Vendor Item Name
- Ship-To Address
- Transport Type (Means of Transport)
This information is displayed to help you better understand the purchase order and any updates made by the buyer.
Improved active proposal visibility
The Accept/Propose modal has been redesigned to make it easier to compare current values with proposed changes. When reviewing active proposals, the Accept/Propose modal now includes:
- Current values on the purchase order
- Active proposal values
- The source of the proposal
For example, you may see labels such as:
- Supplier Proposed
- Buyer Proposed
This makes it easier to understand where a proposed change originated and what values are currently under review.
New date history tooltip
A new Date History tooltip provides additional visibility into scheduling changes.
By selecting the tooltip, you can review:
- The most recent proposed date
- The last accepted date
This helps provide context when evaluating delivery date changes and ongoing collaboration with buyers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to learn a new process?
No. The Accept/Propose workflow remains the same.
Why am I seeing more information in the Accept/Propose modal?
SourceDay now displays additional purchase order details and proposal information to help you better understand what changed and why the purchase order requires review.
Can I still counter-propose changes?
Yes. Collaborative fields such as price, quantity, due date, and promise date can still be counter-proposed as part of your normal workflow.
Why am I being asked to review changes like a ship-to address update?
Buyer updates made in the ERP system still require supplier acknowledgment. The difference is that SourceDay now clearly displays what changed so you can review the update with confidence.
