8.2.0 Features and Functionality (February 28, 2018)

Customized Checkout Page Messages 

Content Management (CMS) Blocks may be added to a checkout page to provide customized instructions for an order, such as delivery terms from a specific Supplier. Messaging can be directed to distinct Content Groups and can be used to provide targeted instructions for checkout and ordering. 

BuyerQuest's Content Management functionality supports two new types of static blocks of instructions: Checkout Instructions and Ordering Instructions. These static blocks are configured and managed as Static Blocks by Administrators as needed. Each message displays clearly on the Checkout page. 

PunchOut Supplier Keywords Prominently Displayed in Search Results

Improvements in display of Search Results provide users with clear-cut access to PunchOut Suppliers whose product information matches search terms.  A separate area above the customary listing of Search Results displays supplier names and logos along with matches to search terms and provides links to supplier sites. 

Linked Products may be Imported via Common Fields Upload

Importing Linked Products associated with main products is enabled through an updated version of the Common Fields File. A field for linked_sku has been added to the Common Fields file to accommodate one or more SKU values (separated by a vertical bar) to be associated to a product. 

Through the concept of Linked Products, organizations may easily connect mandatory fees to main products -- for assembly, staging, recycling, or other purpose associated with a product, as specified by the buying organization, a supplier, or a regulatory agency. 

Linked Products may be uploaded in either full or delta mode of the Common Fields File Upload. 

New products being added that are intended to be linked should be placed at the top of the Common Fields file so that they can be created prior to their being linked.

Import for Content Group Selection for Catalogs

Automated selection of Content Groups to access Supplier Catalogs is made simpler and more straightforward with an import for Content Group Mapping to Catalog. The Import populates the catalog filter tab for each Supplier record. Using the import eliminates manual selection and management of large numbers of Content Groups with increased accuracy. 

Content Group associations are explicitly listed and the file must list all the Content Groups the catalog is to be filtered on. 

Content Group to Catalog Mappings may also be exported for reference, review, and reimport.

Configurable Invoice Notification when Settlement Enabled 

For clients with settlement configured, the settlement provider is now capable of providing detailed Invoices to payers through its own systems and processes when an Invoice status moves to OK2Pay.

Organizations may prefer to also have Settlement Success Notification emails continue to be sent from the BuyerQuest system to the contact email specified in the billing address of the invoice. A setting in Global Configuration for Email Management allows an organization to choose whether to receive these BuyerQuest system notifications that include the Invoice detail. This setting in the Global Configuration is defaulted to be enabled, but may be configured to be disabled when the settlement provider messaging suffices.
