What's New

• Standard UI Process Definition. Parameter Windows. Phase I: New UI pattern defined in the AD that generates dialog that requests user to enter parameters of a process / report. It makes use of SmartClient references for parameters aiming to be a replacement of the existing generated UI Process and Reports which still uses Openbravo 2.50 style forcing to generate code through WAD.
• Masked Inputs: Ability to define fields that require entering text/string values in the correct format
• Rich Text: Ability to add a rich text field (that supports text formatting) to Openbravo
• Process Definition. Configurable after-execution Actions: New capability of the Process Definition process to execute different actions after completion (such as open a new window, display message, etc). It is extensible by modules, being possible them to define new actions.
• Multiple Selector Reference: New reference based on Selector, that allows user to select multiple items from a list. To be used within Standard UI Process Definitions
• Background Process Execution Context: In case an instance has background processes that are very demanding java resources, Openbravo can be deployed in a configuration with two Tomcat contexts pointing to the same database. One of these contexts is used for regular operations whereas the other one is used solely to execute background processes.
• Doubtful Debts: Adds support for doubtful debts management. When a doubtful debt is recognized a provision is booked in the ledger. The provision is cancelled if the debt is satisfied.
• Accounting Tabs for Transactions: New Accounting tab in transactional data windows that displays accounting information. This functionality was available in a Commercial module that now is no longer required as this feature is embeded in the core.
• Authorised Openbravo Backend Access: Security configuration option (at role level) that allows to revoke access to the backend for corresponding users (by default access to the backend is granted). It for example enables to have Web POS users that do not have access to Openbravo backend.
