Major Changes Delivered in Coresuite 8.50

Coresuite Designer WebExtension: Printing and Emailing from WebClient

With Coresuite Designer 8.45, the initial version of the Coresuite Designer WebExtension for the SAP Business One WebClient was introduced, allowing PDF generation for Sales A/R documents. Further details are available in the Coresuite Designer WebExtension Configuration and Deployment Guide.

This functionality has now been extended to support printing and emailing of Coresuite Designer layouts directly from the SAP Business One WebClient.

The following document types are supported for PDF generation, Printing, and Emailing:

• Sales AR Invoice
• Sales Quotation
• Sales Order
• Delivery
• A/R Credit Memo
• Purchase Order
• Goods Receipt PO
• A/P Invoice
• A/P Credit Memo

For emailing, the currently supported methods are SMTP Direct and Office365 Service. Due to browser limitations, it is not possible to open a separate dialog to prompt for changes to recipients or email content. The email method must be defined in the PrintDefinition.

For printing, the target printer is determined based on the PrintDefinition configuration.

Designer: Support for the New Outlook (Progressive Web App)

Microsoft has introduced a new version of Outlook as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This version no longer supports MAPI functionality and does not rely on the .NET runtime. As a result, the previously available Send Mode “0 - Default” (which uses the Windows default email client) can no longer be used with the new Outlook.

With Coresuite 8.50, a new Send Mode “13 - Outlook 2025+” has been added. This mode must be set in the PrintDefinition if the new Outlook versions are to be used for email sending.

At present, there is a limitation. The new Outlook versions can only be used in the “prompt” mode. When Send Mode 13 is selected and the email icon is clicked in SAP Business One, the Outlook application opens each time to prompt the user. A direct sending mode is not supported at this time by Microsoft.

Designer: ZUGFeRD - BT-81 (SpecifiedTradeSettlementPaymentMeans)

Up to Coresuite Designer 8.45, the value for BT-81 - SpecifiedTradeSettlementPaymentMeans in the ZUGFeRD export was hardcoded to 30 (credit transfer).

Starting with Coresuite 8.50, a new UDF “ZUGFeRD Payment Means Code” has been added to the Payment Means form. This field allows users to specify a value according to the official list of payment means codes defined in the UNCL4461 code list: https://docs.peppol.eu/poacc/billing/3.0/codelist/UNCL4461/

If no value is set, the default remains 30 (credit transfer).

Designer: ZUGFeRD - Support for Comfort Profile (EN 16931)

Support for the ZUGFeRD Comfort profile (EN 16931) has been added. This profile corresponds to the EU-wide electronic invoicing standard.

A new configuration setting for the ZUGFeRD profile has been introduced at company level in the Designer configuration. In addition, a corresponding business partner UDF is available to allow selection of a specific profile per business partner.

If a profile is defined on the business partner, it overrides the company-level setting.

SwissPayment: Correction for BtchBookg and Prtry Fields

An issue was reported when uploading payment files to banks, resulting in the error message “If field BtchBookg contains true, then Prtry must contain NOA, CND, CWD.”

With SwissPayment 8.50, this behavior has been corrected. The field Prtry is controlled by the setting Swiss Payment Configuration → Payment Wizard Swiss → Debit Advise. 
The system now automatically sets BtchBookg to false when "Prtry" is set to SIA, and to true for all other values.

This ensures that the generated payment files comply with bank validation requirements.

Swiss Payment Wizard: Exchange Rate Refresh for Future-Dated Payments

An issue was identified where incorrect exchange rates could be used for future-dated foreign currency payments when working with saved payment runs.

With this release, a new option “Refresh Exchange Rates” has been added to the Payment Wizard Configuration. When this option is enabled and a saved payment run is opened, the system automatically retrieves the current exchange rates and updates the payment run accordingly. The refreshed exchange rates are then used when the payments are posted.

This setting is independent of other Payment Wizard configuration options.
