Improved performance for Worklist generation
Sold-To party customer information available in header
Additional fields in default field catalog
It is now possible to add a description when uploading attachments in the SAP GUI. In the Web Application, the description is displayed, but cannot be added. Prerequisites for this feature are: SAP release at least ECC600; OSS Notes 1451769 & 1560 must be implemented; and in transaction OAG1 (table TOACU), the “Save File Attributes” flag must be set.
Improved performance for Worklist generation
Performance has been improved when regenerating the Worklist by reducing the amount of memory used in the process. (RSPDN0570)
Sold-To party customer information available in header
The current Sold-To party customer number is now available in the header data. This field can be used for selecting documents of a single customer.
Additional fields in default field catalog
Additional fields such as KUNNR_CC, KUNNR_SA and KUNNR_BLOCK have been added to the default field catalog.
It is now possible to fully minimize the header data area. Previously, the header data could hidden, but the entire header data area was still displayed at its full size.

Fixed an error whereby the algorithm that calculates document balance took entries without a Debit/Credit indicator and treated them as debit lines, which resulted in those items being included in the balance calculation. (RSPDN1058)
FI BAPI issue with assignment after structure enhancement in MAP_BSEG_TO_SITM2
Fixed an error in a call to the method MAP_BSEG_TO_SITM2, whereby the wrong structure was specified as a returning parameter. This method enables item data from SAP to be mapped to an internal PD structure. (RSPDN0520)

Check action available for a rejected document
Fixed an error whereby the Check action was still available when a document was rejected, which sometimes led to the document status being changed. (RSPDN0967)
Incorrect Debit and Credit fields and balance indicator

Error message "No persistent image of object"
Fixed an issue that resulted in the error message “No persistent image of object found” when the user clicked the Edit button on a payment line.
Payment block check works differently from SAP
Fixed an issue whereby the payment block check did not allow payment blocks to be set in PROCESS DIRECTOR although these payment blocks could be set in F110 in SAP. (RSPDN0582)
Default sorting of items not correct
Fixed an error whereby the default sort order of the Items grid was not correctly applied when PROCESS DIRECTOR was started.

Errors in vendor selection popup when creating goods receipt from a requisition
Fixed two errors related to the creation of goods receipts for requisitions with multiple vendors. If the user selected a vendor in the popup, no new line was created in the goods receipt. If another requisition was then selected and a goods receipt created, the list of vendors from the previous as well as the current requisition was displayed the popup.
Short dump when running PO status update program
Fixed an error that led to a short dump when running the program /EBY/PDPO_UPDATE_PO_STATUS program, which updates the status of requisitions for which an associated PO has been created. (RSPDN0799)
No error message when trying to process multiple documents with different workflow steps
Fixed an issue whereby if the user selected two documents with different workflow steps and tried to perform a workflow action, the error message “Only documents in in the same workflow step can be processed simultaneously” did not appear; instead, the user was returned to the previously opened window.
Tootltips not displayed for fields with search help
Fixed an error whereby tooltips for fields with search help were displayed beyond the visible area of the screen.
Optional workflow step is skipped
Fixed an error whereby if a workflow step was optional and the processor of the previous step assigned a processor to the optional step and clicked the Approve button without first pressing the ENTER key, the optional step was not sent to the assigned processor.
Text following ampersand not displayed in text field
Fixed an error whereby if an ampersand (&) was entered in a text field, all text following the ampersand was not displayed.
History entries function proposes wrong values in Workflow start popup
Fixed an error in the history entries function, which remembers values previously entered by the user and proposes these values when the user starts to type in the field. In the Recipient field of the Workflow start popup, the system proposed the entire user email address, which is not a valid value for this field.
No data displayed in Print popup
Fixed an error whereby if the user tried to print a document with more line items than had been configured with the parameter “pd_page_size_table”, no data was displayed in the Print popup.
Workflow messages displayed for document not in workflow
Fixed an error whereby workflow messages were displayed for a document that was not in workflow.

Fixed an error whereby if a PO already had some texts, no more texts could be added to it at the header or item level. (RSPDN0625)
SAP password reset in Web Application
PROCESS DIRECTOR now supports password backward compatibility for SAP users when the password is changed in the Web Application (based on the SAP parameter “login/password_downwards_compatibility”). (RSPDN0485)
Workflow documents sent to previous instead of current substitute
Fixed an error whereby documents were sent to the wrong substitute if a user had changed his substitutes. This occurred when the Web Application connected to multiple SAP systems.
