Release notes for Journal Entry 9.5-9.3

Journal Entry 9.5

Released February 2017

New features and improvements

  • The BAPI template now supports using a list of values (LOV) for the DOCUMENTHEADER-USERNAME field.

    This allows template creators to scope the field's value to the current user's SAP ID or Windows ID, or to another defined value.

Known issues

If the document exceeds the maximum document length, Journal Entry returns a warning message. After you click OK, the results vary, depending on the mapping:

  • Cell-based mapping: The document is run up to the maximum number of rows; the rest of the document is not processed.
  • Column-based mapping: The entire document is run, even though it exceeds the document length. Any rows that exceed the SAP limit will not be posted. To avoid posting a document that exceeds the maximum length, split the document.

Bugs fixed

  • Header items created when the document is split retain the cell formatting of the original header item.
  • The Auto-attachment setting that is set by script developers is now enforced for script runners.
