5 1 Purpose This document discusses known compatibility issues for add-ons that were built for releases prior to SAP Business One 9.3 and are now being run in the new release. The issues also affect existing installations that run these add-ons and which are now upgrading to SAP Business One 9.3. The issues involve changes in the application such as menu changes and new exceptions as well as changes to the SDK. Note Add-ons that use the RecordSet object (for unexposed objects) and that are dependent on the database structure may face additional compatibility issues not listed here.

6 2 Business Logic This section describes compatibility issues related to the application s business logic. Topic CRM Simplification- the user and employee selection fields are changed Cost accounting enhancement - the Add Entry to New Voucher button is changed to button combo OPBU table is removed Query Manager enhancement Approval Process enhancement Description Previously, in the Activities Overview - Selection Criteria window (Reports fi Business Partners fi Activities Overview), the user list and the employee list of the Handled by field are selected by using the From and To dropdown lists. In SAP Business One 9.3, the two dropdown list controls are hidden, and the button is used to open a new window to accomplish the same goal. If an add-on application references these dropdown lists, the code should be changed to automate clicking the newly added button and to select the user or employee list in the opened window. In SAP Business One 9.3, in the Journal Vouchers window (Financials fi Journal Vouchers), the Add Entry to New Voucher button is changed to a button combo. In the button combo, you can select Add Journal Entry to New Voucher and Add Cost Center Transfer Entry to New Voucher. The first button in the button combo is used to achieve the same goal as before. The OPBU table is removed; meta changes will also be provided generally. The Query Manager window has the following changes: The form attribute BorderStyle was changed fromfbs_fixed to fbs_sizable. The Query Name edittext (uid: 8) attribute Enabled was changed fromfalse totrue. Previously, the application enabled closing a line in an approved document (document added via the approval process). In SAP Business One 9.3, it is possible to close a line in an approved document only when you select Enable Updating the Document Generated/Updated by Approval Process on the BP tab of the General Settings window (Administration fi System Initialization fi General Settings fi BP). Previously, if you selected Active When Updating Documents in an approval template, and the approval template was set to Always on the Terms tab, updating fields such as Contact Person or Customer Reference No., part of the logistic data did not initiate the approval process. In SAP Business One 9.3 such updates initiate an approval process SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. Business Logic

7 Topic Description Previously, you could update fields such as Contact Person or Customer Reference No., and part of the logistic data in an approved document (document which was added/updated via the approval process). In SAP Business One 9.3, such fields can be updated only when you select Enable Updating the Document Generated/Updated by Approval Process on the BP tab of the General Settings window (Administration fi System Initialization fi General Settings fi BP). After setting off Activate Approval Process, the approval process is not applied on open processes in UI and DI API. After setting off Activate Approval Process in DI, the approval process is not applied on open processes in DI API. After setting the approval template as Inactive, the approval process is not applied on open processes which relate to the template in UI and DI API.

8 3 Software Development Kit (SDK) This section describes compatibility issues related to the Software Development Kit (SDK). Topic DI API - BlockStockNegativeQuantity is deprecated DI API - WorkflowTaskService.Complete() is not reverted DI API - UserFieldsMD.LinkedSystemObject is changed UI API - Get Focus/Lost Focus UI API events caused by FMS are removed Description BlockStockNegativeQuantity is deprecated in the CompanyInfo object; a new property BlockStockNegativeQuantity is available in the AdminInfo object as a substitute. The DB fieldscinf.blockzeroq andcinf.negstolv were moved from tablecinf tooadm. WorkflowTaskService.Complete() will not be reverted if the enclosing DI transaction is rolled back. The LinkedSystemObject property of the UserFieldsMD Object was changed from BoObjectTypes to UDFLinkedSystemObjectTypesEnum. Some Get Focus/Lost Focus UI API events are caused by Formatted Search (FMS) internal processing logic and irrelevant to user actions. These unnecessary UI API events have been eliminated in SAP Business One SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. Software Development Kit (SDK)
