Release date, online: 2 August, 2024
Release date, on premises: 7 August, 2024
App version: 24.2.0

New or changed functionality

Functional AreaDescriptionID
Country and RegionalContinia OPplus has added support for Ethiopia and South Africa localizations.57936
General ApplicationNew user types have been introduced for counting, specifically to accommodate certain EMBED special licenses.57725
General ApplicationIt is now possible to export header and footer lines for a factoring proposal and the corresponding customer data. To enable this functionality, it is necessary to recreate the default OPplus factoring data exchange definitions. After removing the default OPplus data exchange definitions, this can be managed using the Factoring Setup.53137
General ApplicationAdded the Include Headlines for File field to the OPplus Factor table. This option allows the user to include or exclude all column headlines for exported proposal files. The default value is set to true. This story is related to the new functionality described in user story 53137.57489
General ApplicationIntroduced a new page and table dedicated to managing exported factoring proposal customer data. Upon export, the data from the factoring proposal is now transferred to this new table. Users can view the content directly from the exported payment proposal pages. Additionally, the data exchange process for exporting customer data has been updated to utilize this new table, replacing the previous one.57486
General ApplicationPreviously, when incorporating already exported factoring proposal lines into a new proposal, these lines were automatically marked as Selected and could not be modified. To enhance flexibility, the selection field has been made editable, allowing users to deselect lines as needed. Additionally, a status field has been added to provide detailed feedback on each line, enabling users to see whether a line was accepted or rejected in the most recent export.57488

Bug fixes

Functional AreaDescriptionID
General ApplicationAll fields for path information in several pages, which are relevant for Business Central OnPrem only, are now hidden for SaaS environments.56527
General ApplicationThe Customer Ledger Entry page had an incorrect sorting for the Factoring Proposal flowfield, showing the first exported proposal number. The problem has been solved, and you can now see the most recent factoring proposal number.56949
General ApplicationSeveral field captions in various tables, such as Account Type in the Bank Account Mandate table, were ambiguous and caused errors with the SetView functionality. This ambiguity also led to user confusion. These issues have now been resolved.57538
OtherWhen cancelling an VAT entry with a different posting date, the VAT date was incorrect. The original VAT date was used instead of being adjusted to the new posting date. This has been fixed.57448
Payment ImportThe Konfipay_PayPal interface failed to import transactions with the type Cancelation of hold for dispute resolution when the status was Denied. This has been corrected.56840

OPplus 2024 R1, Service Pack 1, hotfix 1

Release date, online: 10 July, 2024
App version: 24.1.1

New or changed functionality

Functional AreaDescriptionID
Country and RegionalThe Calc. Pmt. Disc. on Cr. Memos was moved to the end of the Payment Terms page to enable publishing OPplus to more countries in Business Central AppSource.57102
General ApplicationThe OnAfterSetDimFilters event on the OPP Acc. Schedule Overview page was extended with additional parameters: var CurrentCostBudgetFilter: Text, var CurrentGLBudgetFilter: Text, var CurrentCashFlowFilter: Text, AnalysisView: Record Analysis View. Additionally, some protected variables were added for further extensibility.54239
Payment ImportSeveral adjustments were made for CAMT Import:
  1. Get statement date from DtTm-node - in some statements, the statement date is transferred in a DtTm-node, but we only import from the Dt-node. If the Dt-node is not given, the DtTm-node is used.
  2. Charges - consideration for transferring more than one charge record in the chrgs-node.
  3. Correction finding orderer name and account - in Commerzbank CAMT statements, the IBAN is suffixed by the currency code and transferred in the node; <Acct><Id><Othr><Id>DE69200400000643488000EUR. To identify the related party, the currency code is removed at the end, and also one 'E' at the beginning (incorrect use of delchar()), ensuring the check is made using D69200400000643488000.
  4. Enhancement for QR-References - if the QR-Reference is built via a number series and not like an ESR-Reference (which includes the Customer No. and Document No.), no match can be found when importing into the external cash receipt journal. CAMT 53 and CAMT 54 have been updated: If no Reference No Setup is made, the import will search customer ledger entries by filtering the Pmt. Reference with the transferred QR-Reference. If an entry is found, the Customer No and Document No are filled in one of the reason rows of the payment import line. If no entry is found, the QR-Reference is split as before.

OtherAddressed an unnecessary Get() call in Report 5157808 OPP G/L Register Cash Book. If the source type was empty, the G/L Account should have been used, but an empty Get() was performed, resulting in an error. This has now been fixed.57451
Payment ExportCorrected the value-check for LSV Sender ID in the Swiss payment export setup. In some cases, it was not possible to enter a correct value for LSV Sender ID because the field expected a digit at position 4. This has now been corrected.57144

Payment ExportFixed an issue where dispatching a payment advice email was not possible when using the document sending profile for a customer with only the print option enabled. If Print was true and Email was false, sending advice via email was not possible. This has now been corrected.56561
Payment ImportAdjusted the calculation of Reminder Level in OPP Application Line, OPP Payment Proposal Line, and OPP Treasury Payment Proposal Line tables. A filter for a reminder correction was missing, when a reminder was canceled. This has been fixed.57210
Payment ImportUpdated CAMT V08 import to use BICFI instead of BIC. With CAMT file version 08 (052, 053, 054), BIC codes are no longer provided via field BIC but instead BICFI. This was not considered by the OPP CAMT import. This has been fixed.57370

The correction involves using code 17 for debit records and code 99 for credit records at the contra record level. Additionally, the calculation of the processing date and expiration date was not precise enough. The date calculation has been corrected based on the Posting Date of the Payment Proposal. Creation date (always the first bank working day after the Posting Date), Processing date (Creation date + 1 day), and Expiration date (Processing date + 1 day) have been recalculated, provided they are bank working dates.53264
