Fast Row Creation

You can quickly create new rows at the end of an item list using an Insert button or, if you are entering data in the last cell of the last row of a table, using the Tab key. This feature makes use of an accelerated roundtrip to the backend system that improves performance.

Performance-Enhanced Business Partner Search

A new type of business partner search is available that improves performance when searching for business partners using a combination of search criteria in the name and address fields. If you have made extensions to your business partner data model by adding your own custom fields, you can also add the extended fields to the new table.

For more information, see Performance-Enhanced Search.

Asynchronous Value Fetch for Products

When you enter products in an item list, asynchronous value fetch improves performance by triggering an asynchronous call to display a preview without using a roundtrip to the backend system. When you move from the Product ID field to the Quantity field after entering a product ID, an asynchronous call retrieves and displays the product description and the unit of measure as a preview. In the meantime, you can still enter the desired product quantity. This results in faster processing time and also allows you to quickly see a preview of the product description and unit of measure so that you can verify the product you have entered.

Additionally, an available-to-promise (ATP) check preview is available when using sales items in sales orders and sales quotations and sales items and service part items in service orders and service order quotations. When creating large orders, you can quickly see whether or not the entered quantity is likely to be available. Once a quantity has been entered, the availability information is called from the SAP ERP system to check whether the desired quantity is available. A status icon displays the status of the ATP check. This status is only a preview; the final status of the ATP check is displayed once the business transaction is saved and a roundtrip is performed.

You can make settings for the ATP check that is performed during asynchronous value fetch in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management under  Transactions Basic Settings Business Add-Ins BAdI: ATP Check for Asynchronous Value Fetch .

Asynchronous value fetch is available for the following business transactions:

Status Indicator for ERP Order-Pricing Detail (Item Level)

This feature enables users to see at a glance the status of conditions types - red, yellow, or green. The tool tip for the status yellow or red details the reason for the status, such as Inactive Due to Manual Entry or, Condition Exclusion Header or Inactive at Header Level.

Fast Group Condition Processing

This feature enables business users to process faster large business transactions. In fast group condition processing, the pricing engine identifies which items require recalculation during value-dependent group processing. This is in contrast to the current classic mode, in which the pricing engine recalculates all items during value-dependent group processing. Removing these unnecessary recalculations results in improved system performance. For more information about this feature, see Fast Group Condition Processing.

Fast group condition processing coexists with the classic mode so no changes are required after an upgrade.
