			<ListItemHead>Reconciliation</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4595m000" role="session">Operations Management - Financial Reconciliation (tfgld4595m000)</GUIRef> session the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4595m000#show.contra.entry" role="formcommand">Show Contra-entry</GUIRef> command was added to the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu. This command starts the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4595m000" role="session">Operations Management - Financial Reconciliation (tfgld4595m000)</GUIRef> again to display the corresponding debit or credit reconciliation transaction of the selected transaction.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Recurring journal instructions</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0143s000" role="session">Recurring Journal Instructions (tfgld0143s000)</GUIRef> session, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0143s000#create.def.instructions" role="formcommand">Create Instructions</GUIRef> command was added to the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu. This command starts the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0143s100" role="session">Create Instructions (tfgld0143s100)</GUIRef> session, which you can use to generate instructions for a range of months or fiscal periods.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Integration transactions</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>The use of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4579m000" role="session">Period Handling by Integration Document Type (tfgld4579m000)</GUIRef> was slightly changed and new fields were added for the reporting period and the tax period. SSA ERP can also automatically generate exception requests. For details, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/tf/integrations/400018" role="manual">Period handling for integration transactions</Link>.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Ledger account characteristics</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0108s000" role="session">Chart of Accounts (tfgld0108s000)</GUIRef> session, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0108s000#tfgld008.injb" role="formfield">Include in Journal Book</GUIRef> check box was added. This field is only relevant for <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000459" role="glossary">integration accounts</Link>. Usually, integration transactions must be included in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000484" role="glossary">journal book</Link> book. However, for non-statutory integration transactions, you can clear the check box. If you clear the check box, you must define a schedule for automatic transactions for the ledger account, to balance the journal book entry.</ListItem>
