Download data to Excel

Details of the change

The Procurement Portal now offers improved export capabilities, allowing users to easily download lists from various screens, including orders, requisitions, quotations, invoices, authorisations, receipts, enquiries, catalogue, and suppliers, directly to an Excel file.

A key enhancement is that the export feature honours the quick filters applied on the Order/Requisition Search, Quotation Search, and Standard Catalogue screens, ensuring that the exported data accurately reflects the filtered results.

See rejection details on orders and requisitions

Details of the change

A new "View Reject Comment" feature provides greater transparency by displaying the details of a rejected document, including the person who rejected it, the reason for rejection, and the date. This information is conveniently available on both the summary screen and in a pop-up.

Furthermore, the rejection comment remains visible even after the document has been amended or revised, ensuring that users can easily reference the original feedback.

More helpful error messages

Details of the change

The Procurement Portal now provides more informative error messages, replacing generic technical errors with clearer information. This enables users to better understand the issue.

Easier Actions menu

Details of the change

To enhance the user experience, a scrollbar has been introduced to the Actions drop-down menu on both Order and Requisition screens. This improvement makes it easier to navigate lengthy menus, allowing users to quickly access the actions they need.

AFX Updates
