Log file in user profile for administrators
Improved drag and drop functionality
In addition to the existing menu item, a button is now available on the detail screen to call the drag and drop functionality.
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)
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.)
Default help_configuration.properties file
A default "help_configuration.properties" file is now delivered with the Web Application. Previously, it was necessary to create this file from scratch.
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.
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.
Enter note in Workflow status popup
A tab is now available in the "Workflow status" popup in which users can enter a note (for example, when forwarding a document, sending a query, or assigning processors to the next workflow step). If a mandatory note is configured in the step settings, a note must be entered in this tab.
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.
User profile Worklist node/Quick start menu
If the user profile is displayed as a Worklist node ("pdweb-app.properties" parameter "pd_user_profile_as_node=yes"), a Quick start menu item is now available for the user profile.
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)
Input/search full user name and email address
Input fields are now available in the Workflow status popup for the full user name and email address. This enables users to search for a user by the full name or email address while typing in the respective fields.
Tax fields editable during workflow
Previously, it was only possible to edit tax fields during invoice creation. Tax fields can now be edited during workflow processing in accordance with the field status specified for the workflow step.
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.
Single Sign On to the Web Application is now possible via an OpenSSO logon ticket.
The behavior of the parameter setting "pd_search_on_change=no" has been changed. Previously, if the user entered a value that does not exist or is not unique and pressed ENTER, the search help for the field opened. The field is now highlighted in red to indicate an incorrect value when the user presses the ENTER or TAB key, or clicks outside the field.
Display of action messages in the Audit Trail
The display of action messages in the Audit Trail has now been improved such that the event name is now empty and the tooltip for a message type shows the full message identifier.
Parameter to disable user interface for Web Service
The new parameter "enableUI" in the "web.xml" file specifies whether or not the GUI can be called for the Web Service. By default, this parameter is set to true, enabling the GUI. It should be set to false when deploying the PROCESS DIRECTOR Web Service as a separate instance that should not serve as a standard web application.
Log file in user profile for administrators
The Web Application log file is now displayed (read-only) in the user profile of users with administrator rights ("pdweb-app.properties" parameter "administratorN"). This requires that the parameter “pd_user_profile_as_node = yes” is set.

(RSPDN3330)

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 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.

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)

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)
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)
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.

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.

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

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)

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)
User Exit 012 with configured company code not detected
Fixed an issue whereby if User Exit 012, "Customer specific functions", had been configured for a specific company code in /COCKPIT/C13, the User Exit was not recognized and did not run. (EMEIC2499)
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.)
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)

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

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

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.)
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)

Fixed an issue whereby the header amounts of credit memos were displayed as positive values in the Accrual Report. (RSPDN2810)
Document status not changed after parking in MIRO

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)

"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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Image display with ITS/WEBGUI in Portal
Fixed an issue whereby when using ITS/WEBGUI, the image could only be retrieved via the application server and not via a URL. (EMEIC2507)
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)
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)
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.
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.
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. The warning message "Withholding tax may be different to posted SAP document" is now displayed when the user clicks the “W/holding tax” button in the “Taxes, rates” tab in a posted document. (EMEIC2513)
INFO MAIL not working with JCO3
Fixed an error whereby INFO MAIL did not work with JCO3.
"Session reference is null" error when running MOBILE APPROVAL with JCo3

Worklist node counter not updated after recalling workflows
Fixed an error whereby after successfully recalling documents, when the user selected the "My workflow inbox" node, the Worklist node counter did not change to reflect the new documents. The counter only updated when the user clicked the node a second time.
