New fields on journal upload template: 1808

[former_member94298]

Has anyone else noticed that the documentation has changed here: https://help.sap.com/viewer/0fa84c9d9c634132b7c4abb9ffdd8f06/1808.500/en-US/41f88d19c3b64b1db1c2aa80... and there are now all sorts of COPA segment fields that you can add to the journal upload.

I am assuming that this is new 1808 documentation - though interestingly, I saw no mention about this in the 1808 early release notes (odd, when it is potentially such a useful addition).

I did try to use some of the new fields - and funnily enough they don't work - assume we will have to wait for 1808 to try it our properly.

Can anyone from SAP please comment - is there new journal load to COPA functionality being delivered in 1808? 

We urgently need this functionality, so it would be really useful to understand if it is coming rather than having to go through a costly and time consuming bespoke development.

Does anyone else think that the documentation amount new releases is a bit thin (to say the least)?

Hi ccsmith, yes this is part of the 1808 release.

The template is enhanced this is why you faced issues by using the 1805 one. In few days you will be able to test it 🐵

I'd agree that the release documentation and even what is found on help.sap.com is thin on detail in a lot of cases.

I know that there are changes coming on the upload journal entries application and template, but I'm not sure what's coming as part of 1808 vs future releases and the roadmap doesn't really show that either.
