| RSPDN1970451 | The posting of an MM document with a hidden cost centre resulted in an error. | If fields were suppressed in the OBC4 transaction, they are now hidden in transactions /COCKPIT/1 and /COCKPIT/WC, mirroring the behavior in transactions MIRO and FB60. The hidden Cost Center field is auto-filled from the OKC9 transaction and is non-editable. Additionally, RSPDN1782051 and RSPDN1559303 have been removed, and there has been a modification in the logic of RSPDN1519433. |
