What's New
Add filter by document no. in Journal Entries Report: This feature request is about adding a new textbox to the Journal Entries Report where the user can filter by the document number.
This new filter will be only displayed when the user selects a document type which has document numbers.
If the users enters a document type and a document number, the system will return all the accounting entries linked to this document number. Please note that the document number is not unique per document, so the query may find several records.- Improve Add Products process in ch value: Within this project the Add Products process in Product Characteristics window is replaced by a Pick & Execute process. It is also added the ability to reassign a different value in case the product already has a value of the current characteristic

- Add ability to configure if values of a variant characteristics need to be added automatically to the configuration tab: When a variant characteristic is added to a generic product all its values are copied in the configuration tab.
If the characteristic has many values it makes more sense to be able to configure it so only the desired values are added manually by the user - New option for Price List Schema Line: Fixed Price or Cost plus Margin Based: New option for Base List/Unit Price in Price List Schema Line: Fixed Price or Cost plus Margin Based

Extensions
There is a vast array of modules that extend the functionality of the Openbravo Business Suite. These include Extensions, Connectors, Localizations, Vertical and Horizontal Solutions, and Tools.
During this release following modules were created / updated:
SPLP legal requirements 2015 - End Year settlement for Cash VAT: Update Spanish Professional Localization Pack to fulfill legal requirements for 2016
- SPLP - Tax Report Launcher: Support calendars not defined for natural years: Previous versions of Tax Report Launcher forces the user to use the organization's calendar when launching reports. However, this could be a problem when the organization's calendar is not defined for natural years (January to December).</p>
The project will allow to select any calendar defined in the Fiscal Calendar window when launching a report. Besides, the official tributary reports will be adapted to support this new feature.
Since this is a functional API change, new major version of the Tax Report Launcher, Official tributary reports, and Spanish Professional Localization packs will be required.

- IDL Variants. Implement not insert all values of a characteristic: Based on the feature "Ability to configure not to insert automatically all values for a specific characteristic" IDL for Variants has been also changed in order to take into account this new capability
