Release 400.013.000
In addition to the following highlights of release 400.013.000 of maxflow® invoice management, which we released in May 2022, various small changes and corrections were also made in the new version.
Links from Info-, Escalation- and Adminmail
As of this release, it is possible to jump from certain info mails to the inbox or directly to a task. For this purpose, color-coded links are provided in the mail that refer to the respective application. This adjustment provides more comfort in use and speeds up the process. The links to the inbox are available in the info mail, in the escalation mail and in the admin mail. Direct links to the tasks are only available in the info mail and the escalation mail.
In the event that multiple environments (SAP GUI, SAP Fiori and web browser) are available to a user, a selection dialog is displayed when the link is opened, in which the user can make a selection and save it as a preset. This preset is set in the user settings of the editor and can also be changed or removed there.
Extension of Agent Determination
In order to further optimize the control of agent determination and make it more flexible, existing account assignment owners (e.g. owner for cost center, profit center, order and WBS element) maintained in the SAP master data can now also be used.
Own Item Categories for G/L Account Documents
Until now, a prescribed and static item category was set for all items of G/L account documents processed with maxflow® invoice management G/L. It was not possible to change this item category. As of this release, the item categories can be defined flexibly, allowing a more detailed control of the release processes.
Automatic Adjustment of the Posting Periods
The automatic adjustment of the posting period was previously only executed when a step was completed. Only then was it checked whether the posting period needed to be adjusted and the corresponding background step was executed.
With this adjustment, the posting period check is also executed when a step is started. If it is determined that the posting period is to be changed, the current step is ended and the background step for adjusting the posting period is executed. The workflow is then continued according to the customizing. Thus, fewer manual steps are required and the automated processes improve the workflow.
Dynamic Column Wizard
In SAP Business Workplace, task-dependent dynamic columns can be maintained, which can display workflow-specific information. Since the maintenance of these columns is very technical, a wizard is now provided for simplified customizing. Here, an intelligent search function can be used to search for document header fields of the release document.
Display of License Statistics
In the customizing for license management, detailed statistics on license consumption can now be displayed, which in turn provide information on which criteria contributed to the consumption of the license. This creates more transparency in the license calculation.
