2.1 Contract spend in organization and company currency

Feature ID: ALUSTA-91754

3 AP Automation

3.1 Support in Data Management > Table maintenance for extra EXT_* tables created for customers

Module(s): Config Tool
Feature ID: ALUSTA-92782
Release: P2P 22.2
Feature Implementation: Feature is in use automatically

In AP Pro Data Management > Table maintenance, it is now possible to configure five more EXT_ACT_LIST_* and five more EXT_INV_LIST_* tables.

Sometimes all available 55 EXT tables are used for storing customer data and consultants need to create extra tables directly in the customer database to support additional data needs. Now it is possible to access and maintain these extra tables in Data management > Table maintenance. New edit views have been introduced for each of these extra tables. Customers with existing extra tables that were added through the legacy interface can now choose the appropriate edit view for the added table and maintain the tables in Data management. If new table configuration needs to be done, the consultants must first create the table in the database and then configure the table in the data management user interface.

New tables can be created with any of the below table names:

3.2 Filter string-based grid columns using numerical or alphabetical ranges

Module(s): Invoice Automation
Feature ID: ALUSTA-86550
Release: P2P 22.2
Feature Implementation: Feature is in use automatically

In AP Pro, Tools for Power Users, and Data Management, it is now possible to filter data with a range in string-based columns. Previously it was only possible to filter number-based columns, such as Gross total, with a range. Now, users can also filter string-based columns such as Cost center code or Account code using a range of numbers or letters.  

   


To set the filter, the user inputs the desired range in the quick filter of the column menu. By then pressing ENTER, the grid in the background is filtered accordingly. Both number and letter values are supported, such as “100-300” or “A-F”. The range can also be open-ended. For example, " -D" shows results with first letter A, B, C, or D. “100-” shows all results greater than 100.

Filtering by ranges can be done for all invoice, spend plan, accrual report, and data management grids.
