Enhancements in Overdue Purchase Order Items

Enhancements in Product Carbon Footprint
With this app, you can now track the carbon footprint using the following new views:
Trend: Track carbon footprint along calendar month and year.
Trend by Product Group: Track carbon footprint along calendar month, calendar year, and product group.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud supports integration with a footprint assessment solution (currently SAP Product Footprint Management), that displays the product footprint information available in this app.

Enhancements in Schedule Persistency of Parts Per Million Data
With this app, you can now do the following:
Select a relative date function as one of the parameters, from the Relative Date Function field value help.
Execute the scheduled job as a simulation by selecting the Simulation Mode checkbox. As a result, no changes will be made in the database. This is useful, mainly to check for possibility of errors before the job is executed.

Enhancements in Schedule Persistency of Supplier Evaluation Scores
With this app, for scheduling a job to persist the supplier evaluation score history, you can choose either a relative date function or the start and end date, as a parameter for persisting supplier evaluation scores.
