We've heard that many of you would love to make better use of our shopping lists so you can quickly find the items you purchase frequently. The following handy shopping list improvements will make using and maintaining lists much simpler and easier.

The improvements include:

- You can now easily add items to existing lists from search results or the cart

- You can copy items from one list to another, one by one or many at a time.

- Important items can be moved to the top of a list to make them easier to find

- Lists can be easily renamed

There are no additional settings needed to use these enhancements, and more detail can be found here - Shopping Lists

The approval escalation process is designed to keep approvals moving, however approvers sometimes need a little more time to investigate or discuss a requisition before hitting approve.

To stop the approvals marching forward we have added the ability to pause a requisition during approvals which suspends the approval process and allows more time for consideration. 

Community administrators can enable this feature within the Approval Administration section.

How to Pause a Requisition

Buyers and approvers often need to make changes to requisitions once they have been sent for approval. Until now, this has required the requisition to be declined and resubmitted regardless of how large or small the change might be. 

To make this process quicker and easier we've added the ability for both buyers and approvers to easily make changes to requisitions that have already been sent out for approval. There's no need to decline and resubmit. 

This feature is an optional configuration for communities that can be enabled by community administrators in the Approvals Administration section.

How to Edit a Requisition

We've simplified our Task Digest messaging so it only notifies you of the most recent tasks (last 90 days). Tasks older than this will still be visible from the Task menu in Unimarket, but will no longer trigger email notifications.

Following feedback, we've simplified the email communications relating to supplier requests. This will make it much clearer for Buyers who ask for a new supplier.

We've made a number of improvements to our Product Tag functionality. Tags such as Hazardous now remain visible through the Shopping Cart, Checkout, Requisition and Order screens. We have also added new product tag based approvals so you can define special approvals relating to specific items such as hazardous materials or preferred products.

To help prevent any issues receiving email communications from us, we've added further validation controls so you can make sure your Unimarket email configuration matches your Domain Name System. 

Please reach out to support if you need any help with verifying these settings.

We made a small improvement to the email suppliers receive when they connect a new customer. The email content is much clearer and also contains a URL so they can login directly.

When you need to create an expense we'll now keep you focused in a full screen popup. This will allow you to see all the required fields at once, rather than needing to scroll. We're planning to apply this view to some of our other areas soon.

It's now easier to view and understand your spend by shipping or billing location. You can now find both the Shipping and Billing address and codes associated with an order as part of the View Orders Export.
