Concerned Applications:

IDL.KONSIS.FORECAST Application Server (Jetty)

Error:

Program errors (exceptions) were reported in the log file when closing the Application Server because some applications attempted to send messages to the client although its connection had already been cut.

Concerned Applications:

Excel export for new master data applications

Error:

The dialogue for the Excel export listed the selectable tables sometimes multiply.

Concerned Applications:

User group authorisations (BENDEF)

Error:

A newly defined user group without any authorisations could not be deleted again. Instead of the error message "Deletion not permitted because of authorization setting" (IAR0608E) was reported.

Concerned Applications:

Object authorizations modifications (BENOBJLOG)

Error:

Changes on the object authorisations for report IDs (object type 'RID') were logged, however, the application did not allow for their display.

Concerned Applications:

Complex master data applications (...DEF)

Error:

The modification date was not refreshed if an update was performed in the leading table without opening the model with the dependent tables.

Concerned Applications:

Chart of account definition (KTODEF)

Error:

The fixed object prefix of a chart of accounts already existing could not be updated to '*'. An error message with respect to an illegal character was output.

Note:

A newly defined chart of accounts could be provided with an '*'.

Concerned Applications:

Chart of account definition / account allocations (POSDEF)

Error:

An invalid manual entry in the field "Chart of accounts" in the selection area on the left hand was not displayed.

Concerned applications:

Chart of position definition / account allocations (POSDEF)

Error:

If, in the table of position/account allocations, you had allocated an account and then saved the modifications, then the display switched to the end of the table.

Concerned Applications:

Chart of positions definition / account allocation (POSDEF)

Error:

Entries in the filter line entered in one of the tables vanished after switching between the registry tabs of different applications.

Concerned Applications:

Transaction development definition (SPIDEF)

Change:

The application allowed for the allocation of a posting key with usage tag 'V' to a transaction development column without the usage tag 'VOR'.

Concerned Applications:

Intercompany account balances (ICKTOSAL)

Error:

If several data lines were selected including a difference line and then the action "Mass-Update" was performed, then the mass-update was interrupted by the selected difference line.

Concerned Applications:

Intercompany account balances (ICKTOSAL)

Error:

If all lines (including the final difference line) were selected in the table and then the action "Delete" was performed, then the previous check sum remained and was not refreshed.

Concerned applications:

Controlling balance (CNTSALE)

Error:

When updating a controlling object of a controlling balance without amount in group currency a database error (SQL error) occurred.

Concerned Applications:

Development transaction (ANLBEW, KAPBEW, RUEBEW, SPIBEW)

Error:

Differences for not activated transaction development areas were reported after a double mouse click on a transaction development status in the list "Account balances" (KTOSAL).

Concerned Applications:

Currency conversion company financial statement

Error:

No reporting date of exchange rate was written into the data record at 1:1 conversion of statistical amounts (b/s p&l flag '5'). As a consequence error messages at a subsequent update were reported.

Concerned applications:

Perform carry-forward into new period, Carry forward complete group data

Error:

The list of differences displayed after carry-forward sometimes showed header lines for transaction development areas although there were no differences. In other cases the header lines for development areas were missing. These errors only occurred when working with business units.

Concerned Applications:

Group monitor (KTKGES)

Error:

A double mouse click on the status [M] (manual release) for the soft check rules effected nothing at the first time. At the second time the single record application KTKGESE was invoked.

Change:

Now a double mouse click provides for a branch off into the check rule result list (PRFERGK).

Concerned Applications:

Consolidation parameter ZA (KTKPARZA)

Error:

When deleting a consolidation parameter 'ZA' you are requested whether the results of the 'ZA' consolidation should be deleted, too. Although this request was answered with "Continue without deletion" the request "Delete consolidation?" appeared again.

Concerned Applications:

Compensation of the difference amount in local currency (KLW)

Error:

After carry-forward of group data the status 'KLW' for compensation of the difference amount in local currency became [green] although the currency conversion could not be performed because of missing exchange rates.

Concerned applications:

Compensation of the difference amount in local currency (KLW)

Error:

If, despite of a company with local currency equal to group currency, the compensation of the difference amount was specified in a deviating local currency, then depreciations were converted with the closing date exchange rate instead of the average exchange rate per period.

Concerned Applications:

Merger company financial statement

Error:

The description of a newly created fixed asset object exhibited only crosses.

Concerned Applications:

Consolidation postings (KONBUCH)

Error:

Concerned applications:

Planning application (PLAN) - Individual table sheets

Error:

If a POS formula referenced to a position with allocated accounts and one of these accounts was not displayed in the report due to a filter, then the balance of this account was missing in the result of the formula.

Concerned Applications:

Error:

The English texts were missing for the application and renaming of a profile for the cross-company IC planning.

Concerned Applications:

Concerned Applications:
