Basware P2P Purchase now supports default values and expressions for two purchasing fields:

The default value for Attach purchase order PDF to XML order is applied when a purchase requisition includes a vendor who receives XML purchase orders. The field can be enabled or disabled by default, and can also be configured visible and/or editable. The default value for category code is applied when a user adds a new free-text line to a purchase requisition or order.

Default values must be set by a consultant. These new features are only available in the Edge user interface. 

2.4 Simplified and restricted Basware Purchase

Module(s): Purchase
Feature ID: ALUSTA-50461
Release: P2P 19.10
Feature Implementation: Customer can take into use

Two new levels of user access have been added: simplified Basware Purchase and restricted Basware Purchase. 

Users with either of these levels of access can easily request items from any source, get approval, and receive the items. However, they cannot edit requisitions, search for documents, collaborate on documents, be selected as an approver, or perform any more complex purchase functionality. These restrictions prevent the user from being confused or overwhelmed by unnecessary information when trying to place simple orders. 

Additionally, users with access to restricted Basware Purchase cannot see price information at any stage in the purchase process. This level of access can be ideal for temporary workers or external contractors that need to access Basware P2P.

These new features are only available in the Edge user interface.
