Release 400.015.000

For the release 400.015.000 of maxflow® invoice management, which we published in May 2023, we have made various small changes and corrections in addition to the following functions.

Mode for Maintenance Work

During a version upgrade, maintenance work or changes in customizing, it may be necessary to pause the further processing of running processes until necessary preparations or rework have been completed. With the maintenance mode maxflow® invoice management offers a possibility to block 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 the maintenance mode has ended. This minimizes possible sources of error during maintenance work. 

More Flexible Escalation Function

In the event of delays in release, an automated escalation mechanism can be activated, which actively informs the responsible processors or supervisors if specified processing times are exceeded or if there is a threat of a loss of cash discount. The control of this escalation mechanism has been improved and now allows separate or combined checking of the escalation reasons. As a result, the escalation process can be adapted even better to the requirements in the company.

Improved Control of the Revision

If certain document data is changed during processing in the workflow, an additional processing step can be started to check these changes, the revision. The control of which changes lead to a revision has been further refined and can now be carried out in even more detail based on the creditor's bank data.

Import Permissions

The responsibilities and authorizations of agents are stored in special authorization tables within maxflow® invoice management Customizing. The contents of these tables can now also be imported from CSV files if authorizations originate from surrounding systems (e.g. Active Directory) or are maintained centrally for various applications using other tools.

Simplified Configuration

In the workflow, various documents, such as the scanned original document of an invoice, are processed and archived. For this processing and archiving, various technical settings must be made in different transactions. In order to be able to make these settings intuitively and easily, a semi-automated wizard was created that summarizes these complex settings and thus simplifies and accelerates the installation and configuration of maxflow® invoice management.

Numerous Performance Optimizations

This release also includes various adjustments to improve performance, e.g. in the UI5 application, when loading the Monitor Inbox or when processing documents with a particularly large number of items. In this way, maxflow® invoice management allows you to keep up with the increasing demands on invoice processing.

SAP S/4HANA Compatibility

In order to be compatible with the latest maxflow® invoice management version SAP S/4HANA and to maintain the high quality standards, we have made various small changes. In addition, we are certified by the SAP Integration and Certification Center for various SAP S/4HANA versions.

... 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.
