Features

Multienterprise Information Network Tower, solution version 8.0.0

The following new or updated functionality is included in this release.

Add and Remove Line Items from Purchase Order Acknowledgments in the Web UI

Companies that own Multienterprise Process Connect can add new or remove existing line items when creating a purchase order acknowledgments from received purchase orders in the Web UI. Removing line items for a purchase order acknowledgment allows suppliers who are out of stock for a requested line item to still acknowledge the purchase order after removing the unavailable line item. Additionally, adding and removing line items from a purchase order acknowledgment allows suppliers to offer a substitute product if a line item that the buyer requested is out of stock or unavailable. Enabling suppliers to add, remove, and modify purchase order acknowledgment line items in the Web UI saves both the supplier and buyer time preventing them from having to directly communicant about which line items the supplier can provide and having the buyer resubmit a new purchase order that reflects the items the supplier has available. Previously, suppliers could only edit the price, quantity, and delivery date for existing line items.

For companies whose Partners do not own Multienterprise Information Network Tower, Owners add their Partner's users to their network and assign them the appropriate roles to enable them to create and submit purchase order acknowledgments in the Web UI using the Owner's instance of Multienterprise Information Network Tower.

Search for Forecast Plan and Forecast Plan Response B2B Messages in the Web UI

Companies that own Multienterprise Process Connect and their Partners can view and search messages for forecast plan and forecast plan response messages that are exchanged with Partners. Searching for and viewing Forecast Plan and Forecast Plan Response Message Types that are sent asynchronously via Multienterprise Process Connect enables users to monitor the status of their messages, confirm that they have been sent or delivered, and troubleshoot message issues by viewing any errors or downloading the message input, output, and canonical files. Additionally, Application Administrators can manually reprocess outbound messages from TraceLink that failed to deliver.

For more information about the new forecast plan and forecast plan response messages, see What's new in the APIs©.
