(Hotfix ID: 4500003378)

Leads

  • The Microsoft Excel upload of leads was creating leads without the passed values in the respective extension fields.

(Hotfix ID:4500011231)

Financial Management

Financial Planning

  • When the Microsoft Excel upload of a financial plan contained a combination of valid and invalid General Ledger (GL) accounts, an issue was causing the Excel upload error log to display all the GL accounts as invalid.

  • In the payment service provider, Treasury Intelligence Solutions (TIS), the payment batch file contained a Central Bank Reporting structure- value 999999, a default value that should not be included in the batch payment for non-localized countries.

With the fix provided, this issue has been resolved. (Hotfix ID: 4500009347. This fix has already been delivered as a patch.)

Cost and Revenue

  • An issue was causing the Revenue Recognition Run for a canceled customer contract item to fail with a rounding difference error. The error was occurring when an invoice was created and cancelled and the net value is 0 (as seen in sales document items OWL), and the overall invoiced amount at the revenue accounting contract level was higher than what could be billable when the run was executed. This issue has been fixed. (Hotfix ID: 4500011140)
  • When a revenue recognition run was performed for multiple documents, an issue at the revenue accounting contract level was causing contract Assets to be posted when it was determined that contract liabilities were to be posted, and vice-versa. This issue has now been fixed. (Hotfix ID: 4500010991)

Payment Management

  • The fix provided ensures that the payment explanation item containing the net and gross amounts which was being sent only for tax prepayment is now also sent for the regular tax due payment so that the information is available to the remittance advice as well. (Hotfix ID: 4500008226)
  • It was not possible to execute the Annual Returns tax return for Austria from January 1, 2020, as the valid From date for the tax rate type 5 (exceptional reduced) and its corresponding tax return mapping entries started from July 1, 2020. A fix is provided to address this issue, wherein the valid From date for tax rate type 5 is advanced to January 1, 2020, from the earlier July 1, 2020.
