New Feature Enhancements:

1. SAP Business One Service Layer supports for 3 additional business partners' master data replication
SAP Business One Service Layer is a new generation of extension API for consuming SAP Business One data and services. It builds on core protocols such as HTTP and OData and provides a uniform way to expose full-featured business objects on top of a highly scalable and high-availability Web server.
The Intercompany solution provides service layer support for the following 3 Business Partners related masters in version 51 in addition to 12 masters supported in previous versions:
- Indicators

5. System Health Check tool for troubleshooting
A new “system health check” tool is introduced in the Intercompany Administration Console in Intercompany Version 51.
This innovative feature empowers administrative users to initiate a thorough health check, obtaining a wealth of technical and functional information pertaining to the intercompany modules.
This tool not only simplifies the diagnostics but also significantly expedites the support ticket resolution process.
Administrative users can create a support ticket directly from the Intercompany Solution Setup > System Status dashboard with all relevant system information and Health Check data for faster diagnostics and resolution.
With the ability to export data in either XML or zip file formats, users gain a convenient means to share detailed information seamlessly when submitting a support ticket. This feature not only ensures a more efficient exchange of information but also empowers the support team with a comprehensive dataset, minimizing the need for back-and-forth communications to gather crucial details.
6. The document exchange cycle from A/R Credit Memo to A/P Credit Memo is supported
The intercompany solution now supports the A/R credit memo to A/P credit memo document exchange cycle in the intercompany trade.
This development addresses specific business scenarios where the head office company manages accounts receivable, necessitating the creation of an A/R credit memo to A/P credit memo cycle.
A key aspect of this advancement is the user's flexibility in choosing between creating standalone A/R credit memos or generating them based on the base document. This adaptability empowers users to tailor their approach to document creation, aligning seamlessly with specific business requirements.
7. The document exchange cycle from A/R Down Payment Invoice to A/P Down Payment Invoice
The intercompany solution supports a new additional document cycle, the A/R down payment invoice to the A/P down payment invoice in the intercompany trade.
The solution supports the creation of a draft or firm A/P down payment in the receiver company. This automation not only simplifies the workflow but also ensures accuracy and consistency in the creation of financial documents.
The user has the option to create an A/R down payment invoice, whether as a standalone document or linked to sales orders. The solution automates the generation of a corresponding draft or firm A/P down payment invoice in response to an A/R down payment invoice, ensuring a synchronized and error-free financial exchange.
8. The "Reset Add-On Version" button is introduced in the Feature Activation
The introduction of the "Reset Add-On Version" button in the Feature Activation screen marks a significant enhancement to the system's functionality, specifically designed to address challenges encountered during the installation of the intercompany add-on. This button serves a crucial role by facilitating the clearing of the CTX_CONF table, a pivotal step in resolving issues associated with the installation process.
9. Introduced "Addon Error Log" screen to log the addon errors during script execution
Currently, the add-on log file for error logging can be somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with multiple errors. By incorporating an add-on error log screen, each error occurrence would be neatly organized, providing users with a more efficient means of tracking, managing, and resolving issues.
