    Accounts Payable

    Performance improvements for PO history

    Measures have been taken to improve the performance of the application when the PO history is very large. (EMEIC2545. This replaces EMEIC2475.)

    Upload from Application Server with /COCKPIT/IMPORT

    It is now possible to upload data from the Application Server as well as the SAP GUI Front End using the /COCKPIT/IMPORT program. The upload source can be specified in the parameters. Note that upload from an application server supports only logical file names from the transaction FILE, not XLS and XLSX. (EMEIC2494)

    Web Application

    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.

    Unique PO number on item level populated in header

    If there is a single, common purchase order number for all line items, this PO number is added to the corresponding field in the header when the document is saved. (EMEIC2407)

    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.

    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-site server scripting.

    Negative values for credit notes

    Negative values for credit notes can now be displayed in the Web Application overview list. The display fields "Gross amount (negative values)" and/or "Net amount (negative values)" must be present in the View Model configuration and in /COCKPIT/WI11. (EMEIC2481)

    User details display in "Workflow status" window

    A new "pdweb-app.properties" parameter "userformat.workflow.status" makes it possible to control which user information is displayed in the "Workflow status" window.

    Warning message for posted documents with Withholding Tax

    Withholding tax entered in PROCESS DIRECTOR is not updated from the SAP document after the document is posted.

(EMEIC2513)

    Short dump when starting PROCESS DIRECTOR or WORK CYCLE

    When starting PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable or WORK CYCLE, a short dump with the short text “Exception condition “ILLEGAL_EVENT_COMBINATION” raised” occurs when using an outdated SAP GUI version (for example, Windows 7.10, 7.20). In this case, please update to SAP GUI 7.30 or 7.40.

    Field status for one time vendor does not work

    Previously, it was possible in /COCKPIT/C23 to create field statuses for the CPD (one-time vendor) structure. However, the field statuses were not applied. The CPD structure can no longer be selected in /COCKPIT/C23 as it is currently not possible to set field statuses for one-time vendors.

    Dedicated "Source" value for Fast Entry documents to enable reporting

    Previously, Fast Entry documents were assigned Source '8' in the Fast Entry transaction, and then Source 'SPACE' when they were submitted to PROCESS DIRECTOR, with the result that these documents could not be reported on in PERFORMANCE ANALYTICS. The dedicated "Source" value 'F' has now been introduced for Fast Entry documents that are submitted to PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable to enable reporting on these documents. The "Source" value indicates where the document originated. (EMEIC2469)

    Popup prompting to save changes displays repeatedly

    Fixed an issue with MM documents that caused a popup with the message “Changed data will be lost. Would you like to save this data?” to be displayed repeatedly when the user tried to leave the detail screen. (EMEIC2474)

    Fixed an issue whereby when processing an IDoc using WE19 standard inbound processing or report RBDAPP01, in the function module /COCKPIT/EDI_IDOC_TRANSFORM, the call to function module EDI_DOCUMENT_OPEN_FOR_PROCESS always returned exception 4. (EMEIC2511)

    Period in one-time vendor data not transferred to SAP

    Fixed an issue whereby when posting an invoice for a one-time vendor, if a field contained only a period (.), that field was not populated in the SAP document and was displayed as being empty. (EMEIC2461)

    Vendor determination by VAT registration number not working

    Fixed an issue whereby vendor determination by the VAT registration number was not working correctly. If the data of a search function was independent of the company code (such as data in LFA1), the vendor was not determined even if it was the correct vendor. (EMEIC2486)

    Users with no authorization in MR8M can cancel MM document in PROCESS DIRECTOR

    Fixed an issue whereby users without authorization in MR8M were able to cancel MM documents in PROCESS DIRECTOR. (EMEIC2406)

    User Exit 069 does not abort on exception

    Fixed an issue whereby User Exit 069, "Adjust Fast Entry before RFC", did not abort when the exception "ERROR_OCCURRED" was raised, with the result that a Fast Entry document with an error was still transferred to PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable. (EMEIC2490)

    Incorrect assignment of bank data in EDI Smart Forms

    Fixed an issue whereby the wrong labels were assigned to the bank data in the Smart Forms /COCKPIT/EDI_MM and /COCKPIT/EDI_MM. For example, the bank name was displayed next to the "Bank account" label. (EMEIC2404)

    "Jump to next doc" setting not working when entering detail view by pressing F8

    Fixed an issue whereby the user setting "Jump to next doc automatically when processing complete" did not work correctly if the user entered the document detail view by pressing F8, and then approved the workflow. The user was returned to the overview list, instead of to the next document detail view. (EMEIC2464)

    Tax code disappears after editing reference document number

    Fixed an issue whereby the tax code was deleted from the line item if the reference document number was edited. (EMEIC2411)

    Tax code search help not the same as in SAP FB60/FB01

    Fixed an issue whereby the search help for the "Tax code" field on the accounting line was not the same as in SAP. (EMEIC2468)

    Search Help button missing in Fast entry, /COCKPIT/3

    Fixed an issue whereby the Search Help (F4) button was missing for the fields in the left column in the Fast Entry transaction, /COCKPIT/3. (EMEIC2514)

    Data import User Exit 918 not working

    Fixed an issue whereby the sample code in data import User Exit 918, "Account assignment upload", was not working because the variable "lb_skip_datatransfer" was not set to true. (EMEIC2479)

    Document status not changed after parking in MIRO

    Fixed an issue whereby the PROCESS DIRECTOR document status was not set to "Parked" if the SAP user parameter "IVFIDISPLAY" (see SAP note 634744) was activated and the user parked a document in MIRO. (EMEIC2496)

    Accrual Report does not display credits correctly

    Fixed an issue whereby the header amounts of credit memos were displayed as positive values in the Accrual Report. (RSPDN2810)

    Authorization issue with changed PO and item proposal

    Fixed an issue whereby the goods receipt reference data (Delivery note, Reference document, Year) was not updated when the PO number was changed at the header level. This could result in authorization errors when item proposal was performed. (EMEIC2470)

    Same description for "Workflow overdue" and "Workflow step overdue" fields

    Fixed an issue whereby the descriptions for the "Workflow overdue" and "Workflow step overdue" fields were the same in the document overview list. (EMEIC2444)

    Check data in Fast entry not passed in "Transfer" function

    Fixed an issue whereby the check data in Fast Entry (/COCKPIT/3) was not passed to PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable by the "Transfer" function. As a result, the data was not available in the vendor search (/COCKPIT/C32) and additional checks (/COCKPIT/C5) transactions. (EMEIC2509)

    Payment Control changes not passed to PERFORMANCE ANALYTICS

    Fixed an issue whereby the changes made by the /COCKPIT/PAYMENT_CONTROL program were not written the PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable delta queue, with the result that these changes were not available in PERFORMANCE ANALYTICS. (EMEIC2441)

    Field "ACCOUNT-SHKZG" incorrect in /COCKPIT/IMPORT

    Fixed an issue whereby the /COCKPIT/IMPORT program overwrote the entry ‘H’ in the "ACCOUNT-SHKZG" field with ‘S’ if the amount in the "ACCOUNT-GROSS_AMOUNT" field was positive. (EMEIC2456. This replaces EMEIC2412.)

    "Delete" function not available for Fast entry documents

    Fixed an issue whereby the "Delete" function was not available for Fast entry documents. (EMEIC2364)

    User Exit 903 not called by /COCKPIT/ARCHIV_WEB_CYCLE

    Fixed an issue whereby the "/COCKPIT/ARCHIV_WEB_CYCLE" function module did not call User Exit 903, "Change WORK CYCLE notes and releases to be archived". (EMEIC2505)

    Adjustment of tax data not possible with User Exits 053 and 054

    Fixed an issue whereby tax data could not be adjusted using User Exits 053 and 054 ("Adjustment of data during MM/FI document import") because the User Exit entry point provided an empty tax table instead of the original tax information. (EMEIC2508)

    One-time vendor fields not transferred during posting

    Fixed an issue whereby some one-time vendor fields were not transferred to SAP during posting. (EMEIC2424)

    Incorrect message for reversed FI documents

    No message displayed on double-clicking invalid order number or WBS element

    Fixed an issue whereby no message was displayed when a user double-clicked an invalid order number or WBS element. (EMEIC2510)

    Item proposal not generated for subsequent debit on service purchase order

    Fixed an issue whereby item proposal returned no results for a subsequent debit on a service purchase order. (EMEIC2493)

    Invoice reduction: Price and quantity change possible for Price only and Quantity only workflows

    Fixed an issue whereby it was possible to change the price and quantity during a workflow step configured for price reduction only in /COCKPIT/C63; the same applied for workflow steps set to quantity reduction only. (EMEIC2467)

    Performance: No buffer for ME_READ_HISTORY in additional checks

    Fixed an issue whereby in order to read the PO history, additional checks 0001 and 0003 called function module "ME_READ_HISTORY" for every single PO line item, even when the same PO item had several lines with different delivery note references. This could result in poor performance for documents with a large number of lines for a single PO item. The data read in the first line is now buffered. (EMEIC2546. This replaces EMEIC2472.)

    Line item approval: Selected processor not transferred from search help

    Fixed an issue whereby if the search help "USER_ADDR" was configured in /COCKPIT/WI5, the user selected in the search help was not transferred to the "Next processor" field. (EMEIC2445)

    Document type not changed after transfer

    Fixed an issue whereby if the purchase order had a company code that was different from the transferred company code, the document type was not changed after transfer via /COCKPIT/RFC_DATA_SUBMIT. (EMEIC2463)

    Incorrect PO results in quantity check error

    Fixed an issue whereby if the PO number given on an invoice did not exist in the system, the error for additional check 0003, "Invoice quantity is more than the delivered but not yet invoiced amount", was erroneously saved to the /COCKPIT/TERRORS table. (EMEIC2485)

    Tax split over two lines with "Generate final version from SAP document"

    Fixed an issue whereby if the option "Generate final version from SAP document" was activated in /COCKPIT/C6, the tax values were distributed over two lines in the final document - one line with the tax amount and one with the tax code and rate. (EMEIC2430)

    For mixed debit/credit taxes, tax information not transferred correctly on using "Perform" function

    Fixed an issue whereby if the first tax line was credit in the invoice or debit in the credit memo, the tax was not calculated correctly when using the "Perform" function. (EMEIC2434)

    New PO item proposal clears delivery date header field

    Fixed an issue whereby if the delivery note number in the header did not match the delivery note in the line item, the header field was cleared after line item proposal. The system now retains the incorrect delivery note number in the header field, as it did with the old line item proposal. (EMEIC2400)

    Bank information overwritten on EDI Smart Form

    Fixed an issue whereby if the bank name was too long, the remaining bank data was moved down one or two lines on the Smart Form and the information in the last line was not displayed at all. (EMEIC2460)

    Calculate tax setting not submitted with Fast Entry

    Fixed an issue whereby if the "Calculate tax" indicator was set in a Fast Entry document, the setting was not retained when the document was submitted to PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable. (EMEIC2471)

    Tax lines merged into single line

    Fixed an issue whereby if one or more tax lines were transferred and no suitable tax rate or code was configured in /COCKPIT/C15, the lines were merged into a single line with the sum amount of all lines. (EMEIC2455)

    Wrong follow-up flag set for quantity differences

    Fixed an issue whereby if check 0003 and check 0011 both returned errors, the general follow-up flag "IA Check failed" was assigned to the document, even though both error messages referred to a quantity difference. Now, if both checks return an error, the more specific follow-up flag "IQ Quantity difference" is assigned. (EMEIC2452)

    System reverses the wrong SAP document

    Fixed an issue whereby if a PROCESS DIRECTOR document was posted using MIRO, and the same invoice was subsequently posted by another user outside of PROCESS DIRECTOR using FB01/FB60, PROCESS DIRECTOR reversed the SAP document that was posted with FB01/FB60. (EMEIC2425)

    Items with valuated blocked stock proposed, but cannot be posted

    Fixed an issue whereby even though items with valuated blocked stock were proposed by the system, on executing line item proposal, they could not be posted because the system displayed a quantity error. (EMEIC2476)

    Line items disappear after transfer

    Fixed an issue whereby during the transfer of MM documents, if no items were proposed and the line item contained only the PO number, the system removed the input line items. (EMEIC2501)

    Data import cost center determination fails

    Fixed an issue whereby during data import, determination of the cost center (as defined in /COCKPIT/IMPORT_C6) failed. Determination of the cost center was only executed if debugging was activated by the user parameter "/COCKPIT/IMPORT_EXPE". (EMEIC2437)

    Wrong width of custom fields

    Fixed an issue whereby custom fields were displayed with excessive width in tables if no user or system variant was defined. (EMEIC2413)

    PO number automatically populated after removal

    Fixed an issue whereby after clearing the PO number from the header and removing all the line items, the PO number was populated in the header field again. (EMEIC2447)

    Document status does not change to "Error" after failed posting attempt

    Fixed an issue whereby after an unsuccessful posting attempt, the document status did not change to "Error". (EMEIC2502)

    Item proposal does not work for limit PO

    Fixed an issue whereby after a limit PO had been fully posted, if the user wanted to post a credit memo against the invoice, no item proposal could be made. (EMEIC2418)

    Short dump on running /COCKPIT/CUST_JOB_SCHEDULE report

    Fixed an issue whereby a short dump occurred on running the /COCKPIT/CUST_JOB_SCHEDULE report (used for customizing background jobs) and closing it, instead of saving the new job. (EMEIC2492)

    Incorrect assignment of follow-up flags

    Fixed an issue whereby a follow-up flag configured for check 005, "Document already exists (duplicate)", was also displayed for invoices with vendor errors (vendor different to PO, vendor does not exist). (EMEIC2478)

    Error for limit PO with multi account assignment

    Fixed an issue that resulted in the message M8377 “Complete at least one line of ITEMDATA for item …” when an invoice for a limit PO with multi account assignments was checked. (EMEIC2482)

    Error when sending message

    Fixed an issue that resulted in the error message “No message assigned to company code &1 / PROCESS DIRECTOR document type &2”, although customizing in /COCKPIT/C42 and /COCKPIT/C35 was correct. This occurred if the message text ID set in transaction /COCKPIT/C35 had not been translated into the user’s logon language. Message text IDs should always be translated, at least into English, which is the fallback language if the vendor language or logon language of the user is not available. (EMEIC2365)

    Error message on activating User Exit 048

    Fixed an issue that resulted in the error message "/COCKPIT/GEN214: "Document &1 changed, operation not possible" when User Exit 048, Filtering of MM invoice items in the user interface, was activated. (EMEIC2466)

    Fixed an error whereby it was not possible to open the multi account assignment dialog in the SAP GUI after account assignments had been deleted in the Web Application. (EMEIC2414)

    Withholding tax not visible/editable

    Gross amount adjusted after parking with "Generate final version from SAP document"

    Fixed an error whereby if the option "Generate final version from SAP document" was activated in /COCKPIT/C6, the gross amount was adjusted from the original value if the document was parked. Any already filled tax data was also deleted on parking. (EMEIC2440)

    PO number from header not available in item proposal popup

    Fixed an error whereby if the MM item suggestion version option "PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable 7.1 with popup" was activated, the PO number from the header was not displayed in the popup if the popup was called from a tab other than the "General" tab. (EMEIC1990)

    Multi account assignment values cannot be restored

    Message template not found

    Fixed an error whereby a message template was not found if it had not been translated into English. This error was introduced with EMEIC2365 and has now been fixed. (EMEIC2503)

    EDI posting results in short dump

    Fixed an error that resulted in a short dump when posting a PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable document that had been created from an IDoc. (EMEIC2421)

    CLIENT SPECIFIED statement

    "CLIENT SPECIFIED" has been removed from "SELECT" statements in a number of reports where it was not required. (EMEIC2458)

    Web Application

    Browser memory/performance issues

    Measures were taken to address some browser memory size and performance issues related to panel resize handlers and timers.

    Tab spaces in notes ignored

    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. Tabs are now converted to a series of non-breaking spaces, and the text is displayed correctly if the style ".eby-ReadonlyNotes" in the "pdtheme.css" file is set to a monospaced font such as Courier.

    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.

    Withholding tax code cannot be changed

    Fixed an issue whereby the withholding tax code could not be changed. (EMEIC2484)

    Selection screen values not copied to search help popup
