• End of session and unlocking of documents

The key user can now view logged in users with one or more sessions and terminate a session, if necessary

CRM :

• Insight-to-Action : create target groups for customers from any report.

Marketing, sales and service employees can now create actions directly from a report.

• Manage the GTIN number in the kit and this number can be propagated in the sales documents.

The customer in the over-the-counter (OTC) scenario can now use a GTIN / UPC (Global Trade Item Number) for the header product in the kit, as they should be charged for the overall kit and scan this UPC rather than the individual products.

With the new release, lease accounting capabilities have been enhanced. For example, closed leases can be reopened if the right to use the asset has not yet been withdrawn.

New features allow partners and customers to upload bank statements en masse using the ManageBankStatementIn web service.

When an employee makes a service confirmation on a service order, the hours consumed in the service confirmation are automatically reflected in the employee’s timesheet.

Supply Chain Management :

• Modification of quantities on current production orders.

It is now possible to adjust production schedules, e.g. due to a changed demand or supply situation or to reflect situations of overload or unavailability of resources. These changes will be reflected in the MRP.
