This file contains important information about PROCESS DIRECTOR 7.3 Service Pack 1.
Improved message informing about the locked state of a document
Preset to update data when clearing is performed without FEBAN
Preset to set bank statement line item status
Header status for filtered bank statements
User profile Worklist node/Quick start menu
Parameter to disable user interface for Web Service
Log file in user profile for administrators
Improved automatic display of attachments
No selection list if only one workflow is available
Default help_configuration.properties file
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.
Improved message informing about the locked state of a document
The message informing about the locked state of a document now displays the name of the Internet or SAP user using the Web Application, instead of the RFC user name.
Preset to update data when clearing is performed without FEBAN
A new preset, /EBY/CL_PDES_PRESET_FEBEP, is available that checks if clearing has been performed outside of the FEBAN transaction. If clearing postings are found, the Posting Area 2 data is updated accordingly in the FEBEP and PROCESS DIRECTOR tables.
Preset to set bank statement line item status
A new preset class, /EBY/CL_PDES_PRESET_EPERL, is available which sets the Electronic Bank Statement line item status to complete if Posting area 2 is completed in FEBAN, but not Posting area 1.
Header status for filtered bank statements
As bank statements can be filtered in using transaction /EBY/PDES_VPTR, the PROCESS DIRECTOR document may contain less bank statement items than in FEBAN. The header status of the PROCESS DIRECTOR document is now set to "Processed" when all items that are visible in PROCESS DIRECTOR have been successfully processed, even if there are items in FEBAN that have not been processed.
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.
User profile Worklist node/Quick start menu
If the user profile is displayed as a Worklist node ("pdweb-app.properties" parameter "pd_user_profile_as_node=yes"), a Quick start menu item is now available for the user profile.
Single Sign On to the Web Application is now possible via an OpenSSO logon ticket.
Parameter to disable user interface for Web Service
The new parameter "enableUI" in the "web.xml" file specifies whether or not the GUI can be called for the Web Service. By default, this parameter is set to true, enabling the GUI. It should be set to false when deploying the PROCESS DIRECTOR Web Service as a separate instance that should not serve as a standard web application.
Log file in user profile for administrators
The Web Application log file is now displayed (read-only) in the user profile of users with administrator rights ("pdweb-app.properties" parameter "administratorN"). This requires that the parameter �pd_user_profile_as_node = yes? is set.
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.
No selection list if only one workflow is available
If only one workflow is available for the document, the �Workflow� dropdown selection list is no longer displayed, only the workflow name.
Default help_configuration.properties file
A default "help_configuration.properties" file is now delivered with the Web Application. Previously, it was necessary to create this file from scratch.
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.
The behavior of the parameter setting "pd_search_on_change=no" has been changed. Previously, if the user entered a value that does not exist or is not unique and pressed ENTER, the search help for the field opened. The field is now highlighted in red to indicate an incorrect value when? the user presses the ENTER or TAB key, or clicks outside the field.

Short dump during AP document synchronization or Worklist generation in EhP7
Fixed an error that resulted in a short dump when running the program, /EBY/ICIV_DOC_SYNCHRONIZE, or regenerating the Worklist in an EhP7 system. For systems with more than 100,000 documents, Worklist regeneration should be done using the /EBY/PDBO_CONFIG_GEN_WORKLIST program with the �Document batch size? parameter set to a value higher than the number of documents in the system. (RSPDN3330)

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)
Incorrect formatting of amount fields
Fixed an error whereby amount fields in grids containing data taken directly from the BAPI (such as PO Items for Goods Receipts or Open Items for Payment Advices) were incorrectly formatted and therefore displayed incorrect amounts.

Error message after displaying popups in versions window
Fixed an issue whereby error messages were displayed after any popup was opened from a document versions window. (RSPDN2199)
Continue action not assigned to authorization activity
Fixed an issue whereby the Continue action was not assigned to an SAP authorization activity, with the result that users with read-only rights for a document could assign processors. (RSPDN2862)

Fixed an error whereby if the audit trail was archived without posting the data, the workflow log was not attached to the PROCESS DIRECTOR document. (RSPDN3437)

Bank statement data not updated after Payment Advice posted
Fixed an error whereby when a Payment Advice document was posted, the Payment advice number and Account fields were not updated accordingly in the corresponding Electronic Bank Statement line item.
Bank statement data not copied to Payment Advice
Fixed an issue whereby data available in the line item of an Electronic Bank Statement, such as the "Account number" and "Note to payee", was not copied to the header of the Payment Advice created from that bank statement line. Note that the "Note to payee" text is truncated to 25 characters in the header.
Partner data flagged as manually changed after posting
Fixed an issue whereby when an SAP sales order was created from a PROCESS DIRECTOR document, the partner address indicator was flagged with �E ADRC address entered in document manually? instead of �D ADRC address from master data? in the VBPA table. (RSPDN2633)
Missing fields in Partners view model
The fields EMAIL, FAX_NUMBER, STCD1 and STCEG have now been added to the Customer Orders system view model for the Partners grid. (RSPDN1920)
Incorrect values in KPI4 report
Fixed an error whereby the workflow duration values in the KPI4 report, "Processing statistics" were incorrect. In addition, the processing time of a document was displayed as 0.00 if the document was processed with the Duplicates popup, or was not posted or transferred. (RSPDN2825)
Customer determination by name incorrect when name contains leading spaces
Fixed an error whereby the function to determine a customer by name resulted in an incorrect database selection when the name contained leading spaces. (RSPDN2823)

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).
Too much detail in Payment Terms search help
Fixed an issue whereby the Payment Terms search help displayed too many details in the result list compared to the SAP standard. For example, in SAP standard 2 lines were displayed, while PROCESS DIRECTOR displayed 4 lines. (RSPDN2720)
Short dump when uploading PDF file
Fixed an issue that resulted in a short dump when uploading a PDF file in the Web Application. The issue occurred in systems running ECC 6.0 or higher and was due to a change made by SAP to the import parameter data element for the ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT function module. (RSPDN3129)
Worklist title panel disappears after refresh
Fixed an error whereby on clicking the "Refresh Worklist" button, the title panel of the Worklist, which shows the SAP system ID, disappeared.
Value "00" in selection screen returns all results
Fixed an issue whereby a value of "00" entered in a selection screen resulted in the field being considered empty and all available results being returned.
Fixed an issue whereby marking lines for deletion and using the paging controls resulted in lines that were not marked for deletion being deleted.
If tab spaces were used in notes in the SAP GUI, these were ignored in the Web Application, with the result that the note text was not displayed correctly.

Suggestions values lost after editing
Fixed an issue whereby entered values were lost after editing suggestions and clicking the OK button. In addition, a suggestion value named �tokenid? was saved.

Logon possible with invalid password
Fixed an error whereby it was possible to log on using an invalid password. (RSPDN2351)
Logging off resets logon screen to default SAP system
Fixed an issue whereby on logging off from the Web Application, the logon screen was reset to the default SAP system defined in the "saplogon.properties" file, instead of the system from which the user had logged off.
Line breaks removed after editing configuration file
Fixed an issue whereby when the "pdweb-app.properties" "administratorN" parameter was set and the administrator edited the configuration file parameters within the Web Application, the configuration file was saved without line breaks.

Internal error when maintaining substitutes
Fixed an issue whereby an internal error occurred when editing substitutes.
Internal error if logo file specification is invalid

Fixed an error whereby after an attachment had been displayed in the "Attachments" panel, the attachment viewer was still displayed when the user opened a popup window.
Workflow license not found error message
Fixed an issue that resulted in the error message �Workflow license for process type � not found?. This occurred if the general workflow license was in use, but no Worklist node had been created for the WC object and the process type in question was not flagged as �Workflow active? in the license settings. (RSPDN2672)

Bulk workflow start not possible without background assignment
Fixed an error whereby it was not possible to start a workflow on multiple documents with manual user assignment.
