Page Comparison

Situation:

If the import of a csv file is based on a flexible interface structure and the position id is missing in some row, the import is aborted and a corresponding error message shown.

Solution:

The import ignores lines with a missing position id and continues with the remaining lines.

Situation:

If module Income Taxes is integrated into the Portal Suite, roles and role allocations are maintained in the portal. Nevertheless, dialogue "User" of Income Taxes still presents all role assignments. Instead of role names, however, only their internal IDs are shown.

Solution:

Data should generally be shown where they are created and maintained. A second (redundant) presentation only invokes synchronisation problems. Role assignments are therefore no longer shown in dialogue "User" of module Income Taxes.

In dialogue "My profile" of Income Taxes, however, the user's own roles will be shown, as long as this function is not available within the portal.

Situation:

If the user associates an SAP Remote Function Call (RFC) directly in the "Allocation of the connection information" of a company's master data, an error message appears, as soon as the user saves RFC data after an import (based on a MSSQL database).
For an Oracle database the error occurs, when the user enters the "Import" dialogue.

Solution:

The RFC can be directly associated with a company in its master data dialogue. However, it is recommended, to define a flexible interface structure with the RFC instead. If needed the interface structure can be associated with selected companies in the "Interfaces" section of their master data. But it can as well be defined as a default interface structure such that it may be used in the import of every company.

Situation:

If no balance sheet items have been created for a period yet, a system error message occurs each time when saving the balance sheet comparison and when copying the transaction data.

Solution:

Issue error messages describing the problem. Intercept the system error message.

Situation:

Even when not all autorun jobs (database migrations) could be executed successfully, users may log in to GTC without being pointed to the situation. Functionalities which should have been changed by the jobs may not work correctly. This might have minor or major consequences.

Solution:

New autorun jobs (database migrations) work as follows: User can only log in to GTC when all jobs were executed successfully. Otherwise they cannot log in and get a corresponding error message. The only exception are users with superuser permissions: They can log in, but are directed to page "Master data - Home" and are shown the same error message.

Situation:

The proposed value in line 27, corporate tax column is incorrect.

Solution:

The effect from the local tax column is no longer shown in the proposed value of line 27, corporate tax column.

Situation:

The implementation of a user's unit-dependent permissions may check permissions of the same unit multiple times.

This can lead to the user having difficulty working with the GTC, as the loading times of the dialogues increase (performance).

Solution:

The procedure for checking unit-dependent permissions is optimized in so far, as each unit is only checked once.

Situation:

The status page in the single company area cannot be accessed in a summary period.

The buttons (e.g. Show activities) are not displayed if the milestone " Current taxes" is in the status " finished" or "checked".

Solution:

The status page can also be opened in summary periods and the buttons are always displayed.

Deferred Taxes

Situation:

The proposed values are displayed as 0.00 in the read view of the Rollforward LCF dialog.

Solution:

During the editing of the dialog Rollforward LCF (period/milestones opened), the proposed values are saved in order to display them later in the read view (period/milestones closed).
No calculation is performed in the read view.

The json-smart libraries have been updated.

MVB - IFRS

Only relevant when using the MVB function:

Situation:

An import interface has been configured in the MVB dialogue. In this interface, the checkbox for resetting the differences columns in the MVB dialogue is activated.

In this case, when the import is performed, all differences in the "Other deferred taxes" tab are reset to 0.00 in all periods and all companies, no matter for which company and which period the import is performed.

Solution:

Only the differences of the currently selected company are reset to 0.00 in the currently selected period.

Situation:

During import of a balancesheet structure an error occurs, if languages besides "german" and "english" are configured in the interface structue, but the Excel file does not contain values. The log file contains no hint with regard to the column responsible for the error.

Solution:

Lanuage-dependent values may be empty in Excel. The log file specifies the column responsible for an error.

Situation:

Output location (CATALINA_HOME/logs) and format of the logging are not freely configurable.

Solution:

The output location as well as the output format of the logging can be configured via startup parameters of the Tomcat. If no settings are made here, logging takes place in the previous format by default.

The default output directory has been changed from CATALINA_HOME/logs to CATALINA_BASE/logs.

Further information on configuration can be found in the user guide.

Situation:

The URLs for calling the GTC interfaces have so far started with "<root>/portalapi/...". This does not correspond to the usual convention.

Solution:

The URL has been changed to "<root>/api/...".

This may result in the portal module no longer being able to connect to the Income Taxes module (GTC). Therefore, please check under "Portal/Administration/Module/Income Taxes/Edit" whether the entry "Api URL" already contains the new URL. If this is not the case, please contact your system administrator for further configuration.

Portal / GTC Suite

Situation:

Some user-related data (e.g.: email and phone number) are not transferred from the portal to GTC. As a consequence they cannot be used in error messages with regard to a concurrent page access.

Solution:

User-related data which are needed in GTC and which are available in the portal are transferred from there to GTC.

Situation:

Dialogue "(Sub-) Group Status" allows to download the displayed data as Excel, PDF or print view, whenever "Group strucure" or "Tax group structure" are selected in the "Display" dropdown.
If the entry "List" is selected, the export does not work.

Solution:

Data can also be downloaded as Excel, PDF or print view, when "List" is selected in the dropdown.

Situation:

A user who has the rights "User - Read" and "User - Edit" still cannot edit the users. An error message is displayed. Editing is only possible if the user also has the "Roles - Read" right.

Solution:

Editing users also works without the "Roles - Read" right, only with the "User - Read" and "User - Edit" rights.
