Release 400,017,000
For the release 400.017.000 of maxflow® invoice management, which we published in June 2024, we have made various small changes and corrections in addition to the following functions.
Extension of the maxflow®invoicemanagementmonitor
The maxflow® invoice management monitor, which provides information on all documents and processes as a central invoice receipt book, has been further improved in the new version and now offers additional selection options and additional information in the results list.
Additional item data, such as plant and material number, can now be searched for directly. In addition, the search for creditors and debtors has been improved and now allows a more detailed search for designations.
Further information is available in the results list, such as the source from which the document was entered.
Improved 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® invoice management takes into account the one-time data, e.g. the correct name and address, of CPD vendors. This means that 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 facilitates the processing of such documents and the necessary information no longer has to be determined manually.
Further configuration options
The new version of maxflow® invoice management enables an 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.
Detection source in the monitor
An additional "Entry source" field has been added to the results list in the monitor. This field provides information about the original source of a document and distinguishes between the storage of an original document (OAWD upload), the entry of an SAP document (via SAP transaction) and document creation via maxflow® interface.
Logging maintenance mode
Changes to the maintenance mode (activate, deactivate, exclude agents or steps) have not yet been written to the customizing log. It was therefore not possible to trace which changes were made or by whom these changes were made. From now on, all changes to the maintenance mode configuration will be transferred to the customizing log.
Jump to vendor/customer from the monitor
Previously, clicking on the vendor/debtor in the monitor took you to transaction XK03 (vendor master) or transaction XD03 (debtor master). However, these transactions can only be called up with certain authorizations.
With this adjustment, if there is no authorization for the above-mentioned transactions, you can alternatively jump to transaction FK03 (accounts payable display) or transaction FD03 (accounts receivable display), as these are designed more for the accounting view and are better suited for use in the product due to their authorizations.
... 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.
