* **Decimal quantity support:** Requesters can enter and edit decimal quantities for service-based purchase requisitions and purchase orders, improving precision for service consumption tracking. Validation prevents decimals for goods.

* **Enhanced Shopping Hub capabilities:** Includes configurable line-level questions at checkout, saved delivery address management, and support for purchasing punchout items on behalf of others.
* **Sourcing Pipeline Management:** Centralized management of sourcing projects with workflow automation, visibility into pipeline projects, and savings opportunities tracking via dashboards.
* **Integration with IT Asset Management (ITAM):** The Asset Management Integration plugin enables asset managers to access procurement catalog items and initiate procurement actions directly from the ITAM workspace.
* **Procurement case management improvements:** Cases now require requester acceptance before closure, with notifications and actionable buttons via email and Employee Center, improving resolution accuracy.
* **Conversational AI capabilities:** ServiceNow Otto® conversational AI platform automates L1 procurement inquiries, supports conversational intake for procurement requests, and assists in task completion within MCP clients.
* **SPO Configuration Console:** A guided, dependency-locked console simplifies SPO deployment configuration, including case types, playbooks, notifications, approvals, and AI skill setup.
* **Progress tracker for purchase requisitions:** Real-time visibility into PR-to-PO fulfillment status with configurable state displays and next-step guidance.

## Changes

When a fulfiller marks a case as resolved, the system now automatically transitions the case status to Awaiting Acceptance, pausing closure until the requester takes action.

This notification helps to ensure that unresolved issues are addressed before a case is closed, improving resolution accuracy and customer satisfaction. |

Decimal quantities are supported only for services to maintain data integrity. Decimal quantities for goods are not supported and return a clear validation message. This validation logic is consistent across Shopping Hub and Employee Center. [Automatically assign categories](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=automatically-assign-categories&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) :   Automatically classify service requests, purchase requisitions, and purchase orders into the correct spend categories using the Spend categorization agent.

Configure case types, playbooks, stepper statuses, assignment and routing, notifications, approvals, case resolution acceptance, the procurement specialist workspace, Now Assist AI skills, and new case type setup. Steps are sequenced, dependency-locked, and scoped to what admins are authorized and entitled to configure. Select steps can be configured conversationally with Now Assist where your SKU includes it. For example, you can configure SLA definitions for a new case type as a native console step with dependency locking and Now Assist guidance. [SPO Product Hub and Admin Home discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=spo-product-hub&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) :   Discover Sourcing and Procurement Operations from an entitlement-driven tile on Admin Home. Install and configure it from a dedicated Product Hub that tracks installation status, guides you to add-on apps, applies default configurations, and surfaces learning resources. [Manage saved delivery addresses](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=address-deletion-overview&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) :   Delete saved delivery addresses you no longer need directly from Shopping Hub preferences. A confirmation step provides immediate feedback. Deleted addresses are removed from all locations where they were previously displayed, including at Shopping Hub checkout and on off-catalog record producers.

That user's credentials and punchout group membership are used on the punchout supplier site, and any resulting cart items or orders are placed in their cart. [Enable a shopper to purchase on behalf of another user](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=config-shoppinghub-purchase-behalf&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) :   Admins can define who a buyer can purchase on behalf of by using broader criteria such as cost center, legal entity, or country.

[Progress tracker for PR-to-PO fulfillment](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=progress-tracker-overview&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) :   View the current status of a purchase requisition in the PR-to-PO journey with a real-time progress tracker. The tracker covers all states, including non-linear paths like punchout, revision, and cancellation. It surfaces next steps and owners. Procurement admins can configure which states display. [Received emails on purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and procurement cases](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=emails-related-list&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) :   Received emails now also appear in an Emails related list on the record, alongside the existing Sent Emails and Draft Emails related lists. Procurement specialists can review incoming supplier or requester correspondence directly on the purchase requisition, purchase order, or procurement case without switching to a separate mailbox. [Conversational intake using SPO MCP Server](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=conversational-intake-using-spo-mcp-server&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) :   Request procurement items through conversational intake in your MCP client without leaving the chat interface. The MCP client guides you through discovery questions, recommends matching products based on your needs, and provides pre-filled request forms in Shopping Hub or Employee Center. This streamlined workflow eliminates the need to navigate multiple pages or manually search for products. [Task completion using SPO MCP Server](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=task-completion-using-spo-mcp-server&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) :   Manage all your procurement tasks in one place. View and complete tasks assigned to you based on your instance ACLs directly in your MCP client. The MCP client routes you to Employee Center only when e-signature or document uploads are required. [AI L1 SPO Service Desk Specialist](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ztsd-agent-na-spo&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) :   Automate high-volume L1 procurement inquiries end-to-end. Let the AI L1 SPO Service Desk Specialist resolve general inquiry cases autonomously, freeing your team to focus on complex procurement challenges that require human expertise. [Generate a knowledge article from a procurement case](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=spo-generate-knowledge-article&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) :   ServiceNow Otto for Sourcing and Procurement Operations (SPO) generates knowledge articles from closed procurement cases. Use ServiceNow Otto to create articles directly from a closed procurement case or from the ServiceNow Otto panel, then publish them to your knowledge base. |
