Log4j version 1.x is not officially supported anymore. Security vulnerabilities have been uncovered and are no longer secured in the version.

Solution:

The Log4j library has been updated to the latest available version 2.16.0.

Configuring log levels at runtime is no longer supported by this version. Therefore, this option is no longer available in the administration area.

Situation:

Feedback from our customers has indicated that the functions in the enhanced mapping could be expanded.

Solution:

1. additional check conditions have been implemented. Details can be found in the separately available documentation for the enhanced mapping.
2. the import into the data transfer is now possible with assembled target items.
3. it is possible to import into the tax balance sheet column of the B/S comparison.

Situation:

The enhanced bulk import of companies does not work, whenever it involves a filter with respect to materiality or reporting dimension and the subgroup company itself does not fullfil the filter condition.

Solution:

The enhanced bulk import of companies works with a filter for materiality or reporting dimension independent from properties of the selected subgroup company.

Situation:

If the upper/lower case of the target position in the mapping does not match the GTC TRR position during a standard import (e.g.: POS04A instead of pos04a), an error message is displayed, nevertheless the value is saved.
If the TRR had not been saved before, the imported value will not be displayed and the value cannot be changed via the entry in the TRR field either.

Solution:

Regardless of the upper/lower case of the target position in the mapping, the value is imported and saved. Consequently, the value can also be edited in the TRR dialogue afterwards.

There is now another control of the functionality:
The countries and reporting dimensions, if full import is not selected, are only added or updated if they are archived or do not exist in the target system.

Situation:

The metadata for displaying the period export or import are managed in the system settings table. If the entries are too long (e.g. in the field for companies), the transfer is aborted.

Situation:

With a large number of users who have been assigned many individual permissions, the user overview opens very slowly. In addition, the table could not be exported correctly.

Solution:
