Manage purchase order variances for SAP Business Network customers
Purchasing teams often rely on email and phone calls to resolve supplier confirmation variances in price, quantity, delivery date, and part number, with no consolidated view of approvals. This SAP Fiori app surfaces every variance from SAP Business Network order confirmations, letting buyers review, approve, or reject changes from a Fiori list report or directly from their SAP inbox, cutting manual rework and speeding up touchless invoicing.
Overview
Reduce manual rework in purchase order confirmation reconciliation
Buyers and Accounts Payable teams no longer chase supplier confirmation variances in price, quantity, delivery date, and part number by email or phone; they review, approve, or reject them in one Fiori app, cutting duplicate effort and speeding up accurate touchless invoicing.
Keep PO and invoice prices aligned for touchless invoicing
When suppliers request price changes via order confirmations, this app lets buyers quickly review and action them so purchase order and invoice prices stay aligned, avoiding manual price-matching intervention and preventing payment delays.
Strengthen supplier relationships with self-service confirmations
Suppliers request purchase order updates directly through order confirmations, and buyers action them in the SAP Fiori app with outcomes recorded for auditability and compliance, replacing unstructured email and phone communication so buyers can focus on managing supplier relationships.

Review and approve confirmations in one app
This SAP Fiori app centralizes all supplier order confirmation variances in one list, letting purchasing teams review price, quantity, delivery date, and part number changes and approve or reject them, with outcomes synced back to the purchase order in SAP.
Spot variances instantly with red, amber, and green indicators
The SAP Fiori list report uses red, amber, and green criticality indicators to flag how each supplier order confirmation differs from the purchase order, helping buyers instantly prioritize which variances in price, quantity, or delivery date need action.
Approve variances directly from SAP inbox
Confirmation variances are pushed as workflow notifications to the buyer's SAP My Inbox, letting buyers review and approve or reject them directly there without opening a separate app.
