    Limit attachment visibility

    The Fiori application now takes into account the settings in /COCKPIT/WI28 that specify which types of attachment are not displayed.

    General Functionality

    File name and description in attachments list

    If Process Director has been configured to allow the display of attachment attributes, the Process Director Fiori applications now display the attachment description or file name in the attachments list instead of the archiving object type. In addition, the “Uploaded on” date and time and the attachment type is displayed.

    Download attachments

    It is now possible to download attachments in the Process Director Accounts Payable and Process Director Purchase Orders Fiori applications.

    New search help created for WBS element using company code as a search criterion

    A new search help /EBY/FR_HWBS_REL has been created. This search help has the company code field and the "Individual Object Status" table added. It has selection conditions for the released status and the account assignment element. A new PBUKR (company code) parameter has also been added to the old search help /EBY/FR_HWBS.

    Performance improved by introducing caching for several objects

    To improve the performance of the application in terms of time for loading and document browsing, caching has been added for the following objects: view model (including search helps), attachment info (attachment headers), PO items, and headers for document list. (RSPDN1591867)

    Process Analytics

    Enhanced view for Process Analytics data flows

    In the Process Analytics Configuration application, an enhanced diagram is now available for viewing and editing data flows, as an alternative to the standard SAPUI5 ProcessFlow control. The enhanced diagram provides a clearer overview of the process flow and the relations between the objects in the flow.

    Delta load for multiple days

    It is now possible to run a delta load for multiple days. All changes since the last data load are loaded. Previously, the delta load could only load changes from a single day.

    Changes to data source object details

    In the data source object details, the description of the source fields was added and the “Type” column removed. The currency can now be entered in a single field above the source fields list.

    Define fields used by custom classes

    When custom classes are used in filters and supplements, the fields used by the classes must be entered in the new IMG activity “Define Fields used by Classes.”

    Transport request selection

    In the Configuration application, users can now select a transport request to which their configuration changes are saved.

    Purchase Orders

    Specify maximum number of documents to display on History tab

    The “Filter” button is now available to specify the maximum numbers of documents that should be displayed on the “History” tab.
