This file contains important information about PROCESS DIRECTOR 7.2 Service Pack 3.
Improved automatic display of attachments
User details display in "Workflow status" window
Configurable XSS security headers
It is now possible to edit notes until they have been explicitly saved. Previously, if the user created a note and then performed another action before saving it, the note could no longer be edited.
The delivery date for automatically created scheduling lines is now taken from the schedule line date field if this is filled at line item level; otherwise the date is taken from the header as before.
Improved automatic display of attachments
Previously, when the user opened the "Attachments" panel, the first attachment in the list of current attachments was automatically displayed. This could be disadvantageous in the case of large attachments or a slow system. Now, an attachment is only displayed when it is selected from the list. However, when a new attachment is uploaded, it is automatically displayed. Invoice images are also automatically displayed.
User details display in "Workflow status" window
A new "pdweb-app.properties" parameter "userformat.workflow.status" makes it possible to control which user information is displayed in the "Workflow status" window.
Configurable XSS security headers
A new parameter "xss_security_header.n" is available in the "pdweb-app.properties" file to configure which HTTP headers are added to the HTTP response in order to prevent cross-side server scripting.

Fixed an error whereby the popups opened from a document versions screen were editable. (RSPDN2539)
Not possible to enhance email dispatch
As of PROCESS DIRECTOR version 7.2, it was no longer possible with the event /EBY/CL_PDBO_EVT_SEND_MAIL to enhance the sending of emails with custom functionality using the parameters of the function "SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API". This has now been fixed. (RSPDN2966)
Continue action not assigned to authorization activity

Accrual report does not display line items with no reference to a PO item
Fixed an error whereby the Accrual Report did not display line items that were not assigned to a PO item. (RSPDN2787)
Fixed an issue whereby when transferring vendor data from PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable, IBAN data without a bank key was not transferred correctly. (RSPDN2589)
New SAP payment proposals are displayed in PROCESS DIRECTOR when the program /EBY/PDPR_IMPORT runs or when the user clicks a Payment Approval Worklist node. Under certain circumstances this can lead to duplicate documents in PROCESS DIRECTOR. To avoid this, a new parameter is now available to deactivate the update of payment proposals when the user clicks a Worklist node (Initial settings > Process parameters > Other).

Fixed an error whereby it was not possible to start a workflow on multiple documents with manual user assignment. (RSPDN3026) Important!: If customer checks have been defined for workflow start, before implementing the note these checks must be redefined as described in the "Prerequisite" section of the note RSPDN3026.
Other workflow actions not allowed after canceling workflow recall
Fixed an error whereby after canceling workflow recall, no other workflow actions could be performed. (RSPDN2305)
Due date check program stops due to invalid user
