Coupa Supplier Portal Release Notes

May 1 Release (42.0.0)

Deployment Dates

Sandbox: April 20, 2025
Production: May 1, 2025

New features and enhancements

• Legal entity editability and merges are now possible: You can edit a legal entity’s fields without the need to create a new one, and merge several legal entities that share the same tax IDs. For more information, see Set Up Legal Entities.
• Tier 2 diversity format changes: Fields may look different and you need to select the diversity Category field. The CSV template now includes new fields that the application validates. For more information, see Complete Tier 2 Diversity Reports.
• Supplier managed inventory through the CSP: As a supplier, you can manage the stock levels of your products at the customer's site, ensuring the customer's timely replenishment by sharing real-time inventory values such as stock level information, replenishment rules and reorder points. 
• Changes in how to view and edit Payment Methods in the CSP.
• A new field in requests from customers now explicitly shows when an order requires a service sheet before invoicing.
• New field in service requests: Job roles. A job role can include the workers' titles that customers may need, and the skills, experience, and work arrangements (onsite or remote, for example). 
• Invite workers to create accounts on the CSP and submit service sheets to confirm work completed on assigned orders: Suppliers can optionally allow workers to view and comment on their assignments. Suppliers no longer have to collect and enter workers’ hours or other deliverables, which expedites service sheet submissions and invoice payments. 
• Copy tax functionality for invoice lines on the CSP: You can use the Copy Tax option next to individual tax lines in the CSP. It enables you to copy the tax rate value and the tax reference information from a selected tax line and copy it to all the lines of the invoice. This prevents the need for repetitive manual tax rate entry on every invoice line. 
• Single email for virtual card details and remittance information: For more information, see Use Virtual Cards.
• Requisition emails include AI-summary.
• New data table experience: You can enable a new data table experience from your pages in CSP. This new look improves the organization of fields and unifies the consistency of data tables across the Coupa Enterprise platform and the CSP. For more information, see Create Custom Views.

Resolved Issues

• Fixed an issue that prevented phone numbers from updating when you manually edited a SIM primary contact international phone number. Resolves support tickets: 02056609 and 02055505. JZ-135111
• The bank account validation for New Zealand supports up to 16 digits, and you can enter your account number in the Account Number field. For more information, see Account Validation Requirements for Supplier Payment Accounts. CD-473352
