Resolved issues

Accounts Payable

ID	Issue	Solution
RSPDN1808907	The /COCKPIT/WUM transaction was inaccessible in Process Director installations without the Process Director Accounts Payable component.	The /COCKPIT/WUM transaction now functions without necessitating a Process Director Accounts Payable license.
RSPDN1966935	If the GL account was changed from cost center to asset while PO was already in use in the PDAP document, the GL account did not match during the execution of Post and Perform functions.	The GL account assignment is now the same for both Post and Perform functions, even if it was changed while the PO was already in use in the PDAP document.
RSPDN1977029	An error occurred when the document was posted in the background after releasing the workflow, and the Profit Segment was used.	The background document posting now functions correctly after workflow release, even when using the Profit Segment.
RSPDN1986794	The balance was inaccurately calculated for MM documents with the Indian Company Code, GST tax, and the activated "Calculate tax" option if the document included both PO items and GL Account lines.	The balance of MM documents with Indian Company Codes containing both PO items and GL account items with the activated "Calculate tax" option is now calculated accurately.
RSPDN1987346	User Exit 050 could not be used with the "No standard" option activated. The Fiscal year and Reference document item number fields were populated, even when a reference document was not selected.	The "No standard" option no longer causes errors in the functionality of User Exit 050.
RSPDN1989738	A short dump was caused by the processing of an invoice with a large number of items assigned to the same PO, but with different Goods Receipts.	The system performance has been enhanced, and the processing of invoices containing numerous items no longer results in short dumps.
RSPDN1990767	The Notes tab in the document detail view displayed incorrect contents when the documents were accessed from a filtered list by clicking the Next or Previous buttons.	The contents on the Notes tab are now displayed correctly, regardless of the filtering applied to the document list.
RSPDN1992171	A mandatory QR IBAN parameter was not filled, causing an error in the processing of PDAP documents.	The new mandatory QR IBAN parameter introduced by SAP has been integrated into the PDAP solution, resolving the issue.
RSPDN1994377	A short dump occurred upon exporting documents from Kofax Invoice Processing Agility when the quantity multiplied by the net price value was too large.	Short dumps no longer occur when documents are exported from Kofax Invoice Processing Agility, even when the quantity multiplied by the net price value is large.
RSPDN2000285	Lean Service PO items with Service Entry Sheet (SES) details incorrectly proposed items and invalidated data on price tolerance check. The issue may have occurred for users of Process Director Accounts Payable 7.12 and 7.11.0.2, or after implementing RSPDN1980969 with SAP S/4HANA 1909.	Lean Service PO items with SES details are now properly proposed and assigned by the corresponding functions. Invoices are posted without item proposal issues.
RSPDN2000400	CPD Vendor data (one-time vendor) was lost after closing the Address and Bank Data pop-up window.	The vendor data entered in the Address and Bank Data pop-up window is now saved as expected.
RSPDN2015076	The Path field in the /COCKPIT/EI7 transaction did not support an empty value, and the IDOC could not be transferred to COCKPIT.	The Path field now supports an empty value and it does not impact the transfer of IDOCs to COCKPIT.
RSPDN2037969	The attached invoice image did not open in the docking mode.	The invoice image now properly opens in the docking mode.
RSPDN2038898	A short dump occurred while posting MM documents.	Short dumps no longer occur when MM documents are posted.
RSPDN2039192	If the Header text in a PO was filled, the invoices with this PO could not be transferred from the external application because a confirmation was required. The issue was caused by applying corrections provided in RSPDN1928225.	Corrections provided in RSPDN1928225 no longer cause issues with the invoice transfer.
RSPDN2040964	The default Profit center was derived based on the GL account only, disregarding the Cost Center.	The system now derives default values based on GL Account/Cost Center in the same manner it is done in the SAP standard FB60 transaction.
RSPDN2042500	An error occurred upon the posting of documents with an 'E' (other expenses) GL indicator.	Documents with an 'E' (other expenses) GL indicator are now posted as expected.
RSPDN2060195	An error message "G/L account is not defined in chart of accounts" appeared during the Check or Post actions if the Vendor did not have a reconciliation account.	The error message no longer appears during the Check or Post actions, even if the Vendor did not have a reconciliation account.
RSPDN2061737	If "Generate Final Version from SAP Document" was active in /COCKPIT/C6, the Repetitor log was appended to all the processed documents.	The Repetitor log is now appended only to the appropriate documents.
RSPDN2062510	Users posting Goods Receipts required PD AP authorization to access PD AP document data, resulting in workflow recall issues.	Users can now bypass the PD AP authorization check through the BADi implementation call. This correction builds upon the RSPDN1980607 and should be applied after the installation of RSPDN1980607.
RSPDN2063284	After the installation of SAP Note 3307007 or 3305138, the ISR field became obsolete within the QR-Bill functionality. As a result, when documents were Performed or Posted, system messages indicating missing fields appeared on the screen.	After the installation of SAP Note 3307007, the ISR field is no longer visible under the following conditions: the Company Code belongs to Switzerland or Lichtenstein; the QR IBAN/ISR Number parameter in OBY6 is set to Q or B; the payment method has active options in FBZP. The ISR field is visible in the old documents if the ISR field is not initial, or if the parameter in OBY6 is not set.
RSPDN2064289	Worklist static node generation issue occurred on DB2 systems.	Running the static nodes regeneration in background mode no longer causes issues on DB2 systems.
RSPDN2065730	Blank lines in the notes were not displayed.	Blank lines are now properly saved and displayed in the notes.
RSPDN2065952	Invoices could be posted due to a conflict between a new Item Category with type A added by SAP to the S/4HANA system and a custom item category A in the ECC system.	SAP standard Item Category type A in the S/4HANA system no longer conflicts with custom items in the ECC system, allowing invoices to be posted without issues.
RSPDN2066418	After the installation of SAP Note 3078340 or 3134523, actions on the one-time vendor pop-up screen with active QR-IBAN in one-time vendor data led to error messages and short dumps.	Working with one-time vendor data with an active QR-IBAN no longer triggers error messages or short dumps.
RSPDN2068705	Space characters were cut from the destination directory name during the Master Data export.	Space characters are now preserved in the destination directory name during the Master Data export.
RSPDN2068962	After a successful item proposal for the Service Entry Sheet, the Multi Account Assignment screen was incorrectly filled, leading to an error.	The quantity distribution in the account assignment is now correct, and no errors occur.
RSPDN2069243	The "Principle of Dual Control (4 Eye Principle)" workflow option was not functioning as expected.	The "Principle of Dual Control (4 Eye Principle)" workflow option now operates as expected. If users forward documents without making changes, they can act as approvers for further workflow steps. If users approve workflow steps, they cannot act as approvers for subsequent steps.
RSPDN2070531	The tax calculation for GST was not functioning.	The tax calculation for GST is now operational. To access the functionality, modify the SAP standard User Exit as outlined in the Kofax Process Director Accounts Payable Configuration Guide.
RSPDN2072102	An error message "M8082 - Price too high (tolerance limit of XXX.XX USD exceeded)" prevented the posting of a new invoice following a credit memo posting that involved a change in the exchange rate.	The error message M8082 no longer impedes the posting and checking of documents, even if the exchange rate was modified during the credit memo process.
RSPDN2073186	An invalid data type resulted in a short dump in /COCKPIT/3.	The invalid field name value has been corrected, resolving the issue of short dumps.

RSPDN2081351	The settings that prevented overwriting the Cost Center from the Internal Order in FB60 were not effective in /COCKPIT/1.	The Cost Center determination behavior has been aligned between FB60 and /COCKPIT/1 transactions.
RSPDN2082001	When the PO number field was left blank in the accounting line of the FI document, the Perform action resulted in an error.	Leaving the PO number field blank in the FI document no longer causes errors during the Perform action.
RSPDN2082911	If text was present in the Terms of Payment field in the PO, a pop-up message was displayed twice during the Perform action.	The Perform action now functions correctly, irrespective of the presence of text in the Terms of Payment field.
RSPDN2083608	No duplicate check was performed when the Finish function was executed with an SAP document number that was already assigned to a posted document.	Executing the Finish function with a previously assigned SAP document number now prompts an error message.

RSPDN2089922	Withholding tax information could only be saved by clicking the Save button.	Saving Withholding tax information is now possible through all expected methods.

Web Application

ID	Issue	Solution
RSPDN1987906	When a document without payment terms was sent to workflow with default "Terms of payment from SAP", any subsequent changes to the document resulted in the "Terms of payment from SAP" becoming the document's payment terms. Additionally, if the payment term fields were hidden in the Web Application view, it was not possible to detect or modify the implicit changes in the terms.	The payment terms in the document now retain their value, even if the document was opened and modified in the Web Application.
RSPDN2056978	Workflow steps with specific assignment settings and other conditions could not be approved.	Workflow steps are now approved as expected, even if they have specific assignment settings and exclusion conditions.
