Updates of version 1.13

All attachments, which are added subsequently in the order process dialog window are now transferred as well to SAP. This does not apply to attachments which were imported from SAP before. The transfer of attachments only works, when the order creation was successful. In detail, this new development includes the following new functions for the buyer:

• Attachments from quotations are now automatically taken over to the order header

• The buyer can now subsequently add additional attachments to the order

• He can also delete existing ones

The following article describes this feature in more detail:

Placing a purchase order based on a quotation

In order to delete an item, the buyer can now use the edit mode of the request. This is done in the tab “Items”. With the garbage can button, the item can be deleted from the list.

The following article describes this feature in more detail:

Deleting items in an ongoing request

If the item list of an ongoing request is changed and released, the system updates all quotations of this request. Quotations that have already been submitted are not affected by the items changes. The supplier can then easily determine which items have changed in detail and what has changed.

When the supplier opens his quotation, the processing status was not shown up till now. The status is now shown for him.

The buyer can now only switch to the final step in the rfq creation process (tab “summary”), if at least one supplier is added whilst the rfq creation process. If no supplier is added, he cannot switch to the final tab to release the request.

Limit items are now also transferred out from SAP and displayed in the purchase requisition cockpit. The buyer is then able to add these item types to the shopping card. It is also enabled to combine normal and limit items in the same rfq. Neither quantities nor units are defined for limit items in SAP. The quantity is automatically set to "1" when transferring these items from SAP into FUTURA Smart.

When the submission deadline is reached and the rfq has a changed but not released item list, the already submitted quotations remain valid. Although the rfq item list is the differing from the quotation item list and the release was not done, it is still possible for the buyer to evaluate the quotation in the price comparison list with the changes and afterwards create an order or a contract of it.

There is now a validation for the item list to have at least one item added to be able to continue with the rfq creation.

Bug fixed.

Translation done.
