Posted document with entered WBS element cannot be reversed in detail screen
Fixed an issue whereby from the detail screen, it was not possible to reverse a posted document that had a WBS element entered, although it was possible to reverse it from the overview list. (EMEIC2258)
EDI COCKPIT allows duplicate posting in SAP
Fixed an error whereby IDoc documents were posted more than once in SAP if archiving failed. (EMEIC2269)

A number of issues relating to security flaws that were revealed by code analysis have been addressed and corrected, thus improving the security of the application. (EMEIC2241)

A number of errors in the invoice reduction function were fixed. See the EMEIC for details. (EMEIC2228).
Follow-up flag corrections related to invoice reduction
Fixed two errors related to follow-up flags for invoice reduction. The Price difference and Quantity difference follow-up flags disappeared after posting, but were still present at header level. Customer-specific follow-up flags for additional checks (/COCKPIT/C59) were not displayed. (EMEIC2275)
Reference date not transferred to multi-accounting popup in MIRO
Fixed an error whereby the reference date entered in PROCESS DIRECTOR did not appear in the multi-accounting popup in MIRO after Perform. (EMEIC2250)
Automatic clearance does not work

Short dump when checking/posting MM invoices
Fixed an issue that resulted in a short dump while checking/posting MM invoices. This occurred after implementing SAP note 1796950. (EMEIC2233)
MM item determination does not replace existing UoM with UoM from PO
Fixed an error whereby an existing UoM value was not overwritten by the UoM value from the PO during MM item determination, even though the setting “Get unit from purchase order item” was set in /COCKPIT/C44.
PO item determination assigns reference to condition
Fixed an error whereby the PO item determination function assigned a delivery reference to an item with a condition. (EMEIC2244)
Perform marks wrong line in MIRO
Fixed an error whereby when the user selected a line item and clicked Perform, a line item with the wrong reference was selected in the PO reference tab in MIRO. (EMEIC2273)
Short dump during invoice reduction
Fixed an issue that led to a short dump when the user clicked the Invoice Reduction button in an invoice related to a PO with limit items. Currently invoice reduction does not support limit and service items. Depending on the invoice reduction settings, such items are skipped or displayed in read-only mode. (EMEIC2270)
The field Unit Price was removed from the /COCKPIT/EDI_MM Smart Form, as this field is not available at item level in PD AP. The Item Amount field now shows the net amount instead of the gross amount. (EMEIC2268)
Currency issue in the MOBILE APPROVAL PDF file
Fixed an issue whereby the Smart Form generated when the MOBILE APPROVAL email was sent out was not showing the currency field. Furthermore, because the currency was missing, the amounts shown for the currencies that don't use a decimal point, like the Japanese Yen (JPY), were incorrect. For example, 1234 JPY was being shown as 12.34. (EMEIC2242)
Document not rejected or forwarded after adding mandatory note
Fixed an issue whereby even after adding a note as required before rejecting or forwarding a document, an error message was displayed. (EMEIC2252)
No error message when trying to process multiple documents with different workflow steps
Fixed an issue whereby if the user selected two documents with different workflow steps and tried to perform a workflow action, the error message “Only documents in in the same workflow step can be processed simultaneously” did not appear; instead, the user was returned to the previously opened window.
Tootltips not displayed for fields with search help
Fixed an error whereby tooltips for fields with search help were displayed beyond the visible area of the screen.
Short dump due to invalid WBS element in the Web Application
Fixed an issue that led to a short dump if an invalid WBS element was entered in the Web Application, and in parallel, the same document was opened in the document detail view. (EMEIC2260)
Optional workflow step is skipped
Fixed an error whereby if a workflow step was optional and the processor of the previous step assigned a processor to the optional step and clicked the Approve button without first pressing the ENTER key, the optional step was not sent to the assigned processor.
Text following ampersand not displayed in text field
Fixed an error whereby if an ampersand (&) was entered in a text field, all text following the ampersand was not displayed.
History entries function proposes wrong values in Workflow start popup
Fixed an error in the history entries function, which remembers values previously entered by the user and proposes these values when the user starts to type in the field. In the Recipient field of the Workflow start popup, the system proposed the entire user email address, which is not a valid value for this field.
No data displayed in Print popup
Fixed an error whereby if the user tried to print a document with more line items than had been configured with the parameter “pd_page_size_table”, no data was displayed in the Print popup.
Document still locked when detail screen is closed
Fixed an error whereby if a user closed the detail screen by clicking the close icon (X) at the top right of the window, the message “Object requested is currently locked” was displayed when other users tried to open the document.
Workflow documents sent to previous instead of current substitute
Fixed an error whereby documents were sent to the wrong substitute if a user had changed his substitutes. This occurred when the Web Application connected to multiple SAP systems.
Visualization of line item approval in workflow log
Fixed an issue whereby if line item approval for a WORK CYCLE workflow was active, the workflow log did not show which items had been approved. It listed only the step position, not the ID of the approved item. (EMEIC2265)
Language of the reminder email not the same as for the initial email
Fixed an error whereby the workflow reminder email to a user was not sent in the same language as the initial email. For example, if the sender had sent the email in English, but had German as the login language and ran the DUE_DATE_CHECK program, the reminder email was in German instead of in English. (EMEIC2223)
Workflow cannot start if WUM user with initial password is assigned
Fixed an issue whereby the workflow could not be started if a WUM user with an intial password was assigned as a workflow recipient. (EMEIC2263)
Wrong company name in email on workflow start
Fixed an issue that resulted in the wrong company name being displayed in the email text on workflow start. This issue affects SAP_BASIS versions >= 700, so the EMEIC should be implemented by customers using these versions. (EMEIC2249)
/COCKPIT/WI6 configuration cannot be saved
Fixed an error whereby the configuration in /COCKPIT/WI6 could not be saved and the message “Password invalid – please choose a valid password” was displayed. A number of other issues related to the initial password were also corrected. See the EMEIC for details. (EMEIC2287)
Customer-specific functions not available for workflow query
Fixed an error whereby customer-specific buttons and menus were not available to the processor of a workflow query.
Missing parameters in User Exit 912
A number of parameters were missing in the interface of User Exit 912, “Own or additional logic when sending an email”, which meant that certain functionality (such as custom logic for attachments) could not be implemented. The parameters IC_ATT_FILE_NAME, IC_ATT_FILE_EXT, IB_IGNORE_COLL_EMAIL and IN_WC_CH_TIMESTAMP and the tables CT_MORE_REC and CT_ATTACHMENTS have now been added.
Error when creating WUM user with random name
Fixed an issue whereby an error message was displayed if the user created a new user with a random name in /COCKPIT/WUM and then tried to create another one. (EMEIC2226)
Misleading message regarding collective email on document takeover
When a document in workflow was taken over by a user’s substitute, the message “Collective email to processor noted“ was displayed for both the original processor and the substitute. This gave the impression that information regarding the document takeover would be included in a collective email to the original processor, which is not the case. This message is no longer displayed for the original processor. (EMEIC2276)
Condition in workflow step results in no further steps in workflow status
Fixed an issue whereby the workflow status did not display subsequent steps if a condition had been applied to a step in the "Check step conditions" User Exit. This affected only the status log; processing of the subsequent steps was still possible. (EMEIC2236)
