    Internet user who was an active substitute for a SAP user could not be retrieved

    The field length did not allow to retrieve an Internet user acting as an active substitute for an SAP user. (RSPDN1555041)

    A short dump ASSIGN_TYPE_CONFLICT occurred when the Customer Orders checks were copied for duplicate documents. (RSPDN1566556)

    Endless loop while using mapping function /EBY/PDBO_MAF_REPLACE

    Configuring the replacement where the new value included the old value (e.g. "ST -> STK") with the mapping conversion /EBY/PDBO_MAF_REPLACE caused the endless loop. (RSPDN1609966)

    Financial Postings

    Some processed files not deleted by /EBY/PDBO_MASS_FILE_PROCESSING

    A file with the name that contained a space was processed by the /EBY/PDBO_MASS_FILE_PROCESSING program but not deleted afterwards. (RSPDN1570209)

    Error in mass file uploading program

    The program EBYPDBO_MASS_FILE_PROCESSING read files excluding one last line of a CSV-file during posting. (RSPDN1588511)

    Goods Receipts

    Posting simulation highlights fields with errors

    Fields with errors are now highlighted when the /EBY/CL_PDDN_EVT_CHK_CREATE check runs. Previously, the check only issued messages.

    Serial numbers not transferred to SAP document when posting via transaction

    When using the “Post via transaction” function, serial numbers in the Process Director document were not transferred to MIGO. (RSPDN1308146)

    Posted goods receipt automatically created a new PO

    When a user posted a goods receipt while the movement type had "Create purchase order automatically" selected, a new PO for which a user had no authorization was automatically created. (RSPDN1546743)

    Performance issue with IDoc data transfer

    IDoc data was transferred very slowly in case of two or more POs in the document. (RSPDN1567847)

    The application inefficiently processed documents with many line items or with data from more than one PO. (RSPDN1567850)

    Order Confirmations

    Wrong PO number accepted on item level 

    It was possible to enter a wrong PO number on the item level, which generated duplicate PO item lines. A check identified the wrong PO number but did not highlight the erroneous item line. (RSPDN1258493)

    Updated PO information not transferred to Order Confirmations

    For order confirmations, when a PO was accessed and a change was made in it, that change was not reflected when going back to the /EBY/PD screen via F3. (RSPDN1579050)

    Wrong worklist assignment for remote documents
