Release 200.005.000

In March 2020, we have again further developed our purchase requisition workflow maxflow® procurement and published the release 200.005.000. In addition to the following functions, various small changes and corrections were also made.

Jump from the Entry Mask

Within the workflow steps, there have been jump options to the material master, the supplier master, the contract display and the info record overview for some time. With this adaptation, these jump options are now also provided in the entry dialog. In addition, the jump to the monitor variants from the entry transaction for BIT-purchase requisitions has been extended to include the "My documents" jump.

Jump to Account Assignment Master Data

With this enhancement it is possible to jump within the SAP system during the entry and steps into further transactions. The following jumps are supported:

  • Plant master record
  • Order
  • Budget period
  • Financial Center
  • Fund
  • Reservation of funds
  • Cost center
  • Cost unit
  • Network number
  • Work breakdown structure element (WBS element)
  • Profit center
  • Business process

Dynamic Prioritization of Investigation Types

Priorities could also previously be used for determination types in agent determination. However, it was not possible to react dynamically to the actual use of a determination type. Prioritization has now been adapted to improve the control of agent determination using determination types.

New Customizing for Master Data Transfer

When a material is entered, certain master data is automatically transferred to purchase requisition. With the help of the customizing for the master data transfer, you can influence which fields are transferred. It is also possible to define whether the fields are always transferred or whether the transfer should only take place if the field is not yet filled.

New Types for Agent Determination

1. Profit center: With this determination type, the user for the profit center is determined from the profit center master record and set as the current processor.  

2. Controlling area: With this determination type, the user is determined for the controlling area from the controlling area master record and set as the current processor.

Further Optimizations

  • Through the extended position status text it is possible to see the previous action on position level.  
  • Available templates are restricted by additional permission queries.
  • The info mail dispatch can be deactivated and reactivated in the personal settings for individual users.
