If the request is valid, they can process the request using the Edit a Receipt playbook in the Source-to-Pay Workspace. Edit purchase requisitions with cost allocation adjustments Shoppers can modify purchase requisitions (PRs) and purchase orders (POs) while maintaining cost allocation across multiple cost centers. Spend and Savings Management Spend and Savings Management (sn_spend_mgmt) enables category managers to import and maintain their organization’s category taxonomy. Integrating this taxonomy into ServiceNow helps streamline procurement processes, monitor spend, and assess savings more efficiently at the category level.

Zurich	Multi-currency support in Shopping Hub Enable multi-currency display across approval-related views, including To-Dos, tasks, email notifications, and the Bundles page. Currency values are shown in both the approver’s local currency and the original supplier currency where applicable. The local currency is displayed as the primary value, with the original currency shown as a secondary reference. This display format provides consistent currency visibility for approvers during review. Decimal quantity support service-based purchases Enable requesters to enter and edit decimal quantities for service-based purchase requisitions and purchase orders without validation errors. 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 during SR Automatically classify service requests, purchase requisitions, and purchase orders into the correct spend categories using the Spend categorization agent. This classification process reduces manual classification effort and improves consistency across procurement workflows. Purchase behalf another user Shopping Enable users to purchase on behalf of others without requiring delegate configuration in Shopping Hub. Users can manage individuals they are authorized to purchase for, directly within the buying experience. Purchases made on behalf of others are visible through filtering by business owner in the My Purchases view.

Sourcing Procurement Operations integration Asset The Asset Management Integration for Sourcing and Procurement Operations plugin (com.snc.sn_spend_asset) provides an integration between IT Asset Management (ITAM) and Sourcing and Procurement Operations (SPO) applications, enhancing operational efficiency. This integration enables asset managers to access catalog items, including those items without assigned prices, directly within the ITAM workspace. By enabling procurement actions without switching platforms, it streamlines workflows and improves the user experience. Sourcing Pipeline Management Sourcing Pipeline Management introduces a centralized approach to managing sourcing projects, enabling you to create, track, and manage sourcing activities in one place. It includes workflow automation to reduce manual effort, improves visibility into sourcing activities, and supports tracking and forecasting of cost savings. Using Shopping Hub Enter decimal quantities when creating purchase requisitions for service items using quick or full checkout flows in Shopping Hub. Edit service acknowledgments with decimal values to enable more precise tracking of service consumption. Purchasing tasks and procurement cases Review and respond to proposed case resolutions based on conditions defined in the decision tables before the case is permanently closed. 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. Requesters are notified via email with actionable buttons and can also accept or reject the resolution directly through the Employee Center. This notification helps to ensure that unresolved issues are addressed before a case is closed, improving resolution accuracy and customer satisfaction.

Changes

Between your current release family and Zurich, some changes were made to existing Sourcing and Procurement Operations features.

Release	Release notes
Washington DC	Procurement Service Management integration with Project Management Implemented content changes to the intake form that an employee or requester fills in with project details to be captured in the integration experience with the Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) product. Note: These project questions are only available on the intake form if the employee or requester has access to SPM. There’s no impact on existing customers. Complete sourcing checkout Implemented content changes within the sourcing checkout form for items without pricing in the Shopping Hub product catalog to align with the same intake questions in the off-catalog experience in Employee Center. Existing customers using both Shopping Hub and Employee Center see an alignment of questions in both experiences. As a requester, provide the contact details of a supplier that you’re interested in working with during intake of catalog items where pricing is needed. A supplier contact record is stored and created for procurement fulfillers to use when reviewing sourcing or purchasing details. Both existing and new customers see these changes. Requesting for products or services that you don't see on ShoppingHub Modified the intake form experience for requesters or employees requesting for multiple goods or services, or both, from Employee Center. These include the "I need a good" and "I need a service" intake forms or record producers. Additionally, there’s a new summary page within Employee Center to confirm the submission and item details. If existing customers take this new feature, they must apply the modified record producer payload to capture multiple goods or services, or both. Changes were made to the default intake form to enable each good or service, or both, to have the same or different delivery or service address, and dates. Existing customers can apply this experience to their own intake forms with their own questions. Procurement Service Management integration with third-party sourcing solutions Implemented an additional ability within the integration framework for third-party sourcing tools to know when to close bids now, before the bids end date. In addition, if a supplier award has been made in a third-party sourcing tool, the award response would return to ServiceNow. Note: Currently, only a single supplier response can be returned to ServiceNow. Default email content and in-product alert messages are implemented to inform the employee or requester and the sourcing manager or fulfiller when a Request for Quote (RFQ) has been created in the third-party sourcing tool, and when a supplier award can be made in ServiceNow. Existing customers are additionally impacted by a consolidation of decision tables used to trigger the third-party sourcing tool integration. While one is deprecated, another is active and in use. Existing customers must ensure that they use the active decision table only. [Placeholder link text to key source-to-pay-ws-overview] Customers with the entire Source-to-Pay (S2P) product suite, or any of the individual products within the S2P suite, now share the same workspace, where content within the workspace is role-based. Fulfillers see multiple or single landing pages, and have access to different lists based on their roles. Existing customers who built their own workspace landing pages for SPO, SLO, or APO will see their landing pages within the single workspace. [Placeholder link text to key procurement-specialist-list-page] A new related list tab for emails is now available to capture all business correspondence done over emails. This tab will display both sent and draft emails. Simplified the purchase line form for fulfillers to view contextual details within the sourcing and negotiation workflows, and the purchasing workflows. Existing customers will see a change in their form layout in both workspace and Platform views. Simplified the sourcing request form for fulfillers to easily navigate and discover fields that matter, to make sourcing decisions. Existing customers will see a change in their form layout in both workspace and Platform views. [Placeholder link text to key create-quick-case] Enhanced the usability such that a fulfiller can now create a case with just one click from the Source-to-Pay Workspace. [Placeholder link text to key create-procurement-case] Simplified the case form for fulfillers to view only relevant fields. These will be rendered automatically depending on the type of the record. For example, if a related purchase requisition is populated, then the fulfiller will see the Order dependent on case field, and not the Sourcing decision dependent on case and Qualification dependent on case fields. Similarly, fields like Created date will no longer be visible because they are not adding any value to the case form and are just making it crowded. Create a procurement task As fulfillers, you can create procurement tasks with specific actions types from the Source-to-Pay Workspace pages, and assign them to employees or shoppers. The supported action types are Submit a form, Sign a document, and Upload a document. This helps shoppers understand what is expected of them to complete the tasks. There’s no impact on existing customers for tasks that are already created, and these new changes are effected with the upgrade. Shopper to-dos As shoppers, you can see tasks such as Submit a form, Sign a document, and Upload a document in your to-do list in Shopping Hub. Procurement Service Management integration with Employee Center As employees, you can see tasks such as Submit a form, Sign a document, and Upload a document in your task page in Employee Center. You can also view the completed tasks in the Completed tab in your task page in Employee Center. Order a product with quick checkout As requesters or employees, you can submit a request to purchase a good or service with a past date within the intake form experience. These requests continue to be marked as after-the-fact purchases. Existing customers see the past date validation removed from the intake forms, so past dates are captured and passed to the database as valid responses. [Placeholder link text to key purch-punchout-third-party-supp] Shoppers can now navigate to punchout supplier sites from Shopping Hub or Employee Center and make purchases from external sites. Level 1 cXML-based punchout is now supported. A separate link is available for navigating to third-party supplier sites. A new widget page that lists out all third-party punchout supplier sites is also available. [Placeholder link text to key configure-supplier-punchout] Introduced back-end workflows, interface tables, and logic to support Level 1 cXML protocol based punchout to third-party supplier sites. [Placeholder link text to key add-supplier-product-bundle] Shoppers can now view and make single supplier internal bundle purchases from Shopping Hub. Introduced back-end workflows and logic to support these single supplier internal bundle purchases. Using ShoppingHub Implemented additional user experience analytics for Shopping Hub to track user sessions, page activity, and navigation within My Purchases, to better understand product usage and user experience. Existing and new customers with the user experience application can see this event tracking to understand their users' Shopping Hub usage. Purchase and Receipt Automation Addressed a workflow compliance issue where the state within the sourcing and purchasing workflows could be changed manually, bypassing automation, thus causing downstream workflow and usability issues. The State field is made read-only, so that the state flow can adhere to the designed workflow and automation. Existing customers can no longer change the state manually for sourcing request, purchase lines, negotiation event, negotiation, and purchase requisition tables. Spendint API Enhanced the common integration framework to include: Inbound tables for purchase order, receipt, and cost allocations, which when populated create purchase orders, receipts, and cost allocations in the Sourcing and Procurement Operations tables. Scheduled jobs primary flow, which can be used by partners to develop jobs to fetch the data from ERP systems. Common error handling framework, which can be used as a standard framework for integrating with any ERPs. Note: There’s no impact on existing customers and these changes come in effect only with this upgrade. As fulfillers, view the integration error tasks that are being generated as part of the new integration framework structure. Components installed with Procurement Service Management Provide alignment between all Source-to-Pay (S2P) products and expose more commonly used data points to the end user by rescoping the Supplier field to the Service Task (sn_spend_sdc_service_task) table. With this, all tables extending the Service Task table can pull in the Supplier field for a better task experience. If you're an existing customer, you can see the Supplier field deprecated from the Supplier Task table and made available in the Service Task table through a fixed script. Common Service Delivery Introduced new actions and user pages to support Supplier Lifecycle Operations task management features.
Xanadu	SPO list page All playbooks in SPO have been standardized to deliver a consistent look and feel, enhancing the overall user experience. Configure conditions for merging purchase requisitions Set the conditions for merging purchase requisitions (PRs). Procurement administrators can define which fields must match for PR merges, ensuring flexibility to align with specific business processes. Add a sourcing request to a negotiation event Introduced a unified logic for calculating supplier response close dates when adding sourcing requests to new or existing negotiation events. This ensures consistency in date calculations, regardless of whether the dates are system-generated or manually defined by procurement fulfillers. Procurement Service Management integration with third-party sourcing solutions Enhanced the Source-to-Pay Integration Framework for integrations with third-party sourcing tools. You can now support negotiation-event-based integrations that consist of multiple sourcing requests. Enhanced the purchase order cancellation flow when it's updated from the purchase order outbound table. Inbound staging tables for Procurement Service Management Made the following updates related to inbound staging tables: Introduced the following staging table and transform map: Staging table: Spend Shipment Import inbound [sn_spend_intg_imp_shipment] Transform map: Spend Shipment Import Transferred attachments from the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system staging table to the main Purchase Order table. These attachments are also visible on the purchase order. Source-to-Pay integration framework Updated some fields and processes in the Source-to-Pay Integration Framework to build connection points and to work with other ERP systems, including the following fields and processes: Turned off the buttons to update purchase order when the integration status in the staging table is New or In Process. Disallowed purchase order lines to be created when purchase orders haven’t been brought in yet from the ERP system. Added a scheduled job to retry adding purchase order lines after a purchase order is created. Added missing columns and removed some columns in some staging and primary tables such as the outbound receipt, purchasing group primary and staging, cost center staging, and Fx currency tables. Updated the transform map logic for some of these tables to render these columns. Created the ERP plant address mapping staging table.
