    Financial Postings

    Empty fields transferred to posting interface

    Resolved an error whereby fields such as discount and payment amount were transferred to the posting interface even when they were empty. (RSPDN1136688)

    Use of generic RFC for Accounts Payable documents

    Resolved an error whereby when the invoice image had already been archived and the generic RFC was used to send Accounts Payable document data, the attachment was not transferred to Accounts Payable. (RSPDN1152140)

    Mapping of external texts removes spaces from the strings

    Resolved an error whereby when texts longer than 50 characters were mapped, the spaces at the end of the previous part of the long text elements were lost. (RSPDN1160972)

    Only medium field labels displayed in "Others" tab

    Resolved an issue whereby in the "Others" tab in the SAP GUI, only medium field labels were always used because the conversion of the field values did not work correctly. (RSPDN1169684)

    Errors on checking view model

    Resolved an issue whereby on checking the view model, error messages regarding the search help fields were encountered even though the system and search help configuration were correct. (RSPDN1171902)

    Incorrect number of versions displayed in document detail view

    Resolved an issue whereby in the document detail view, if the number of messages was lesser than the number of versions to be displayed, not all the versions were displayed. (RSPDN1130875)

    Configuration criteria is case sensitive despite inactive "Lower Case" setting

    Resolved an issue whereby although the "Lower Case" flag was set as inactive in the standard SAP "SE11" transaction, the general configuration criteria was still handled as being case sensitive. (1060032)

    Goods Receipts

    Vendor batch and material numbers disappear on posting

    Resolved an error whereby on posting, the vendor batch and material numbers were cleared from the document. In addition, although the vendor material number was transferred to the goods receipt, the batch number was not. Both these issues have now been fixed. (RSPDN1139837)

    External material value not visible in Web Application

    Resolved an error whereby the value of the external material was not visible in the Web Application. (RSPDN1133363)

    On item proposal, performance issues encountered for large purchase orders with goods receipts

    Resolved an error whereby if you had a goods receipt document for a large purchase order, the system was extremely slow when you tried to remove the line items or add them using item proposal. (RSPDN1161140)

    Runtime error on clicking non-existing purchase order number

    Resolved an error whereby on clicking a non-existing purchase order number, a runtime error was encountered. (RSPDN1154730)

    Payment Approvals

    Only first of several invoices locked in payment run

    Resolved an error whereby on trying to lock several invoices at once in a payment run, often, only the first position was locked and a message was displayed for the others. The process had to then be repeated until all the selected invoices had been locked. (RSPDN1142316)

    Division by zero in discount statistics

    When a document was posted with a gross amount of zero and a negative payment amount, a short dump occurred. Also, if the absolute value of the negative payment amount was higher than 9999 and the gross amount was not zero, an overflow error again led to a short dump. Both these issues have now been resolved. (1198068)

    Requisitions

    No message displayed that vendor name cannot be changed in header

    Resolved an issue whereby when the vendor information had already been entered in the item level, there was no notification displayed that the number could not then be changed in the header level. (RSPDN1130634)

    Web Application

    Logging in as user group permitted, leading to security issue

    Approval of workflow step without adding mandatory note

    Resolved an error whereby it was possible to approve a workflow step without adding a note, even though it had been configured that it was mandatory to create the note before releasing the step. (RSPDN1157023)
