Release 200.013.000 and 200.014.000
For the release 200.013.000 and 200.014.00 of maxflow® purchase order, both of which we published in the course of 2024, we have made various small changes and corrections in addition to the following functions.
Personal settings
Each editor can define various personal settings, such as the size of the original document display or the task preview in the monitor. An administrative view has now been implemented for these personal settings, which can be used to manage the personal settings of all agents. For example, individual options can now be changed for several or all processors. In addition, a template is now also available that can be used to set default settings that are used for all editors if they do not define their own settings.
Optimized support for CPD vendors
In the case of one-off suppliers, so-called CPD vendors, information such as the name and address of the supplier is not saved in the supplier master record, but only for the respective document. The vendor master record only contains general data, e.g. the designation "CPD vendor". In many dialogs, such as the document display in SAP, only the general data is displayed instead of the one-off data actually required.
To improve the processing of documents with CPD vendors, maxflow® purchase order takes into account the one-time data, e.g. the correct name and address, of CPD vendors. For example, the correct CPD data can be used when searching in the monitor and the CPD data is also displayed in the results list of the monitor as well as in the release dialog or the document details. This makes it easier to process such documents and the necessary information no longer has to be determined manually.
Further configuration options
The new version of maxflow® purchase order enables even more detailed and better configuration of your business processes. For example, there are new dynamic fields in table areas that can be used for a wide variety of process controls. The transport of self-defined texts has been optimized in order to distribute changes seamlessly in the system landscape. In addition, a new option for controlling the booking duration allows the booking process to be optimally adapted to the performance of the SAP system.
Show correspondence attachments
The correspondence function in maxflow® purchase order allows processors to create various documents for a wide range of purposes, such as requests to the supplier, which are sent directly as e-mail .
Users can attach relevant files to the correspondence, which are sent together with the correspondence as e-mail .
From now on, the attached files can be displayed by double-clicking on the respective file in the attachment list or by selecting the file and pressing a key. Users can thus view the attachments again before the correspondence is sent.
Responsive design in the portal
Many functions of maxflow® purchase order can be executed via maxflow® portal in the browser and can therefore be used independently of operating systems and end devices. This results in increased demands on the dialog design, as the size and resolution of the end devices in particular can vary greatly and the display of the dialogs must be adapted to the respective device.
With the responsive design in maxflow® portal, we have optimized the various dialog elements for device-independent display. As a result, the dialogs adapt flexibly to the respective output size and remain clearly structured and intuitively controllable, both by mouse on a PC or Mac and by touch control on a tablet or smartphone.
Mode for Maintenance Work
During a version upgrade, maintenance work or changes in customizing, it may be necessary to pause further processing of running processes until the necessary preparations or rework have been completed. With the maintenance mode, maxflow® procurement offers the option of blocking the processing of tasks in the workflow. This ensures that no further processing takes place in the corresponding maintenance window and that all employees only continue with the processing of their tasks after maintenance mode has ended. This minimizes potential sources of error during maintenance work.
... and Much More
In addition to these highlights, corrections were also made in the new version in order to further improve maxflow® invoice management and to continue to offer our customers the system solution for efficient processing of incoming invoices in the SAP environment.
