    Restrictions not applied to recipients of collective emails

Also there was an error with defining recipients for collective emails. (RSPDN1619644)

    Short dump for limit POs with service entry sheets exceeding PO amount

    If an account assignment line was deleted and the newly set value in the item line of a PO exceeded the value of the related service entry sheet (among several SES related to this item line), the posted document had a partial posting of this item line.

(RSPDN1626222)

    Wrong proposal for multiple account assignment in Service PO
