SAP\u2019s cloud-based ERP sys\u00adtem SAP Busi\u00adness ByDe\u00adsign<\/a> is updat\u00aded four times a year. The Feb\u00adru\u00adary 2021 ver\u00adsion update brought reforms in a wide range of areas. The updates were for the sys\u00adtem basic func\u00adtions, cus\u00adtomer rela\u00adtion\u00adship man\u00adage\u00adment, finance, and human resource man\u00adage\u00adment, as well as sup\u00adpli\u00ader rela\u00adtion\u00adship and sup\u00adply chain man\u00adage\u00adment areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n Dive deep\u00ader into the key reforms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Prac\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adi\u00adty for every\u00adday life<\/strong><\/p>\n Admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtors can now check logged in users and close the open ses\u00adsions if need\u00aded, as it also releas\u00ades the doc\u00adu\u00adments locked by the user. SAP Man\u00adag\u00ader Approvals now allows noti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions for all approval cat\u00ade\u00adgories except for time post\u00ading approvals. There was also a reform for mobile expense pro\u00adcess\u00ading, as the new solu\u00adtion enables receipt scan\u00adning with the mobile phone, and with the machine learn\u00ading the data is con\u00advert\u00aded direct\u00adly to the expense report as expens\u00ades. This allows faster and more flex\u00adi\u00adble trav\u00adel expens\u00ades pro\u00adcess\u00ading, espe\u00adcial\u00adly for peo\u00adple trav\u00adel for work often.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stream\u00adlined sales<\/strong><\/p>\n The sys\u00adtem now sup\u00adports trade item iden\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion GTIN and UPC num\u00adbers for sales kit prod\u00aducts in over-the-counter sce\u00adnario. The num\u00adbers also allow sales rep\u00adre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtives to accept sales orders that con\u00adtain sales kits via elec\u00adtron\u00adic data inter\u00adchange (EDI).<\/p>\n It is now pos\u00adsi\u00adble to can\u00adcel not start\u00aded con\u00adtract items. If the con\u00adtract item sta\u00adtus is Not Start\u00aded, the can\u00adcel\u00adla\u00adtion date can be added. The date can be ear\u00adli\u00ader on than the con\u00adtract item start date. Pre\u00advi\u00adous\u00adly, the can\u00adcel\u00adla\u00adtion was pos\u00adsi\u00adble only if the can\u00adcel\u00adla\u00adtion date fell between the item start and end dates.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reforms to finance management<\/strong><\/p>\n Two new Web Ser\u00advices were added to the Finance area. Man\u00adage\u00adBankState\u00admentIn enables bank\u00ading trans\u00adac\u00adtions man\u00adage\u00adment by cus\u00adtomer through bank state\u00adments. The web ser\u00advice inter\u00adface offers the oper\u00ada\u00adtions Main\u00adtain\u00adBun\u00addle and Check\u00adMain\u00adtain\u00adBun\u00addle. More\u00adover, with the new field Par\u00adty Tax ID in web ser\u00advice Man\u00adage\u00adTaxRe\u00adceiv\u00ada\u00adbles\u00adPayable\u00adsEn\u00adtryIn, it is now pos\u00adsi\u00adble to cre\u00adate and post a VAT entry with Par\u00adty Tax ID.<\/p>\n You can now re-open closed lease con\u00adtracts if the right of use asset is not yet expired. Lease con\u00adtract post\u00ading runs can be con\u00adfig\u00adured to car\u00adry out ini\u00adti\u00ada\u00adtion, clear\u00ading or clo\u00adsure post\u00adings. In the new Lease Con\u00adtract Pro\u00adcess\u00ading Run view, you can now start the lease con\u00adtract pro\u00adcess\u00ading run to cre\u00adate and sched\u00adule mass data runs for the val\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion, release or clo\u00adsure of sev\u00ader\u00adal lease contracts.<\/p>\n Pay\u00adment for\u00admat 94\u2009\u2014\u2009ISO20022 was updat\u00aded, and the pay\u00adment method 23\u2009\u2014\u2009SEPA Cred\u00adit Trans\u00adfer was removed from it. This means the gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion of out\u00adgo\u00ading bank trans\u00adfer pay\u00adments and their pay\u00adment files is no longer sup\u00adport\u00aded with the com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion of the pay\u00adment for\u00admat ISO20022 and the pay\u00adment method SEPA cred\u00adit trans\u00adfer. This update requires con\u00adfig\u00adu\u00adra\u00adtion changes to ensure that the pay\u00adments con\u00adtin\u00adue to work prop\u00ader\u00adly after the upgrade. The pay\u00adment method 26\u2009\u2014\u2009SEPA Direct Deb\u00adit was also removed from the same pay\u00adment for\u00admat, so that com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion is no longer sup\u00adport\u00aded either.<\/p>\n Pur\u00adchase account man\u00adage\u00adment can now be acti\u00advat\u00aded for addi\u00adtion\u00adal coun\u00adtries, allow\u00ading to main\u00adtain the account\u00ading prin\u00adci\u00adple for a country\/\u200bregion. In addi\u00adtion, the pur\u00adchase account man\u00adage\u00adment is also pos\u00adsi\u00adble to be acti\u00advat\u00aded for the third-par\u00adty order processing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Automa\u00adtion for time record\u00adings and new work object to resource calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n New scop\u00ading ele\u00adment for auto\u00admat\u00adic time record\u00ading from ser\u00advice con\u00adfir\u00adma\u00adtions on ser\u00advice orders is now avail\u00adable. When it is scoped, the sys\u00adtem auto\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly cre\u00adates a time entry for already exist\u00ading and a new time and mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal or fixed-price ser\u00advice order items, against which a ser\u00advice con\u00adfir\u00adma\u00adtion has been cre\u00adat\u00aded and released. It also includes time entries for unplanned items added to a ser\u00advice order. The sys\u00adtem cre\u00adates a time entry against each indi\u00advid\u00adual item.<\/p>\n A new busi\u00adness object, Resource Cal\u00aden\u00addar Gener\u00adic Work Assign\u00adment, has been added to Pub\u00adlic Solu\u00adtion Mod\u00adel (PMS). It means both the cus\u00adtomer solu\u00adtions that are built using SAP Busi\u00adness ByDe\u00adsign Cloud Appli\u00adca\u00adtions Stu\u00addio and the cap\u00adtured by exter\u00adnal solu\u00adtion can be added to the employ\u00adee\u2019s resource cal\u00aden\u00addar. This busi\u00adness object works kind of an inter\u00adface as you can add cus\u00adtomer work objects to the stan\u00addard resource calendar.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Upgrade for ven\u00addor invoice scan\u00adning and improve\u00adments to pur\u00adchase orders<\/strong><\/p>\n Intel\u00adli\u00adgent sup\u00adpli\u00ader invoice scan\u00adning is upgrad\u00aded. The iden\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion of pur\u00adchas\u00ading com\u00adpa\u00adny data has been improved, which helps com\u00adpa\u00adnies that upload PDF doc\u00adu\u00adments cen\u00adtral\u00adly for mul\u00adti\u00adple com\u00adpa\u00adnies. PDF doc\u00adu\u00adments can also be uploaded using an ODa\u00adta ser\u00advice and in addi\u00adtion, the ser\u00advice allows to upload and also start the scan\u00adning. Now it is pos\u00adsi\u00adble to spec\u00adi\u00adfy whether you want all the pur\u00adchase order items to be copied or only the scanned items, an option espe\u00adcial\u00adly use\u00adful in par\u00adtial deliv\u00adery sce\u00adnar\u00adios. In addi\u00adtion, it is also pos\u00adsi\u00adble to delete mul\u00adti\u00adple scanned items.<\/p>\n The sys\u00adtem now allows you to define the num\u00adber of days for dif\u00adfer\u00adent com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtions of com\u00adpa\u00adnies, sup\u00adpli\u00aders and pur\u00adchas\u00ading units. When a new pur\u00adchase order is cre\u00adat\u00aded, the deliv\u00adery date is cal\u00adcu\u00adlat\u00aded con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ading these set\u00adtings. In addi\u00adtion, in inter\u00adcom\u00adpa\u00adny project sce\u00adnario if there are cus\u00adtom codes for account assign\u00adment for the pur\u00adchase order, the cus\u00adtomer codes now flow from the pur\u00adchase order to the goods and ser\u00advices receipt.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Flu\u00aden\u00adcy to pro\u00adduc\u00adtion order and pro\u00adduc\u00adtion Task management<\/strong><\/p>\n The pos\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty to change pro\u00adduc\u00adtion order start and end dates became pos\u00adsi\u00adble with the update 20.11.
