ENHANCEMENTS


Learn about new features and capabilities in the following.

 

Multi Instance Installation for Application Server


With earlier DM Stacks, you could install just one single instance of DM SERVER - APPL SERVER 10.1 on the same server machine. This has been improved as since DM Stack 1600, the DM SERVER - APPL SERVER 10.1 setup provides support of multi-instance installation and update on one single server machine.


Further details can be found in SAP Help.

 




 

IMPROVEMENTS


 

Improved Appearance of iXBRL Instances


With DM Stack 1502 it became possible to render iXBRL reports with pages like the original Word document.
With DM Stack 1600 additionally page numbers and hyperlinks are supported. Images of type SVG (vector graphics) are automatically exchanged by images in PNG format as vector graphics are not allowed to be used in iXBRL filings.

 

Support of Transformation Rules with Inline XBRL as Format


The Transformation Rules Registry defines how strings that appear in Inline XBRL documents are converted to the formats required by the data types of concepts in an XBRL documents.
The XBRL Mapper has a new tab 'Format' where such kind of formats can be applied to any mapping.

Further details can be found in SAP Help.


 

Full Support of Rollforward for Chapters of Content Type MS PowerPoint


Since DM Stack 1600, chapters of content type PowerPoint (ppt and pptx) will be forwarded and data links will be relinked to the new period. This function is restricted to certain objects (textboxes and linked images).

 


Support of Server-Side Content Refresh for MS PowerPoint


Additionally to server-side content refresh of MS Word and MS Excel documents, DM Stack 1600 also supports server-side content refresh of linked images and textboxes in MS PowerPoint.

 


DM SERVER - XBRL SERVICE 10.1 Removed


With DM Stack 1600 the DM SERVER - XBRL SERVICE 10.1 does no longer exist. All functions previously executed by it are now executed by the DM SERVER - TASK ENGINE 10.1. This allows better scaling of the DM SERVER - TASK ENGINE 10.1.

 


Workflows and Reports Can be Set to Outdated


Workflows and Report Types can be set outdated. If this flag is checked, they cannot be used for reports and chapters anymore. This can also be undone.


Further details can be found in SAP Help.

 






 


LEGAL CHANGES


 

SAP E-Bilanz Templates for Taxonomy 6.3


The technical content of SAP Excel templates for E-Bilanz included in DM Stack 1600 consists of a set of 7 Excel templates representing the new taxonomy 6.3:

  1. SAP E-Bilanz template for Core taxonomy

  2. SAP E-Bilanz template for Core MicroBilG taxonomy

  3. SAP E-Bilanz template for Bank taxonomy

  4. SAP E-Bilanz template for Payment Institutions taxonomy

  5. SAP E-Bilanz template for Insurance taxonomy

  6. SAP E-Bilanz template for Branches taxonomy

  7. SAP E-Bilanz template for Branches MicroBilG taxonomy


All templates can be used with both, SAP Disclosure Management 10.1 and SAP ERP client for E-Bilanz 1.0.

For more information about the new E-BILANZ TAXO6.3 TEMPLATES 1.0 see SAP Note 2916128.

 

ERiC 31 Library Used in E-Bilanz Scenario


SAP Disclosure Management components for E-Bilanz scenario now use ERiC 31.4.2.0 for the validation and submission of E-Bilanz reports. ERiC 31 supports taxonomy 6.3 test filings and is backwards compatible to older taxonomies.

A major change in this version is that the file encoding changed to UTF-8. Therefore, you need to generate a new E-Bilanz report revision before a validate, preview or submit action can be performed.

Hallo Herr Schröder,

sind derzeit in den Vorbereitungen der E-Bilanz 2019 für den Konzern. Können wir davon sicher ausgehen, das mit Stack 1600 alle hierfür notwendigen Themen bereitgestellt sind und wir in die Umsetzung gehen können oder steht noch ein Hotfix Package in den Startlöchern auf das wir warten sollten?

Freue mich auf Ihr schnelles Feedback!

Hallo Herr Weinhold,

 

wir planen tatsächlich in nächster Zeit ein neues Update zu veröffentlichen: Den DM Stack 1601. Geplant ist, dort die neue Eric-Version 31.7 einzubauen. Diese wird ab September 2020 für das E-Bilanz-Reporting benötigt (siehe  SAP Note 2863238).

 

Viele Grüße,

Christoph Schröder

Hi Christoph,

In your blog posting I note that the removal of the XBRL service will lead to improved scaling of the task engine.  Could you kindly elaborate on what that will mean?  In particular I'm keen to know if:

  1. Will it lead to faster XBRL validations?

  2. Will the task engine still be available for other tasks whilst long running XBRL tasks are processed?

  3. Can we schedule XBRL jobs outside of core working hours?


Thank You
