Transition guide

Please read the guide for the transition from version 2024.1 to release 2026.1:

E·R·Plus Umstiegsleitfaden 2024.1->2026.1

Compatibility information

Please note the current system requirements for the installation.

E·R·Plus 2026.1 RTM – Build

Desktop+Server: 2026.1.9705
Apps: 2026.1.13145
Release date: May 2026

E·R·Plus desktop application

Task management

• User tasks now support multiple links to different data records.
  For this purpose, the “Links” section has been added to the task form, where existing links can be displayed, new links can be added, and existing links can be removed.

Outgoing invoices

• For importing estimate items, the checkbox “Show non-ordered addendum items” has been added to the “Item selection” form. Once this checkbox is selected, non-ordered addendum items are displayed for selection.

Orders

• The management of supplier article numbers has been implemented to clearly distinguish between identical manufacturer numbers from different suppliers. This can be particularly relevant in the context of EDI processes.
  Further information can be found in the Wiki.

Posting log

• The function “Set as exported” has been added to the posting log. It can be used to mark selected posting records that have not yet been exported as “Exported”. To call this function, the administrator password must be entered, and the user right “Datev” with at least “Read+Write” is required.

DMS interface DocuWare

• Documents from DocuWare can be linked to tours in E·R·Plus via the server job “DMS Interface Grabber”.
  The following settings are required for this:
  • E·R·Plus settings, document categories:
    The DMSGrabberLinkTyp “TourPlanning” must be assigned to a document category.
  • DocuWare:
    The document to be linked must contain a valid tour ID from E·R·Plus in the index field “BelegNr int”.

EDI purchasing

• The transfer of ROMA articles from LogiKal for orders via OpenTrans has been expanded.
  Further information can be found in the Wiki.

Settings

• Work plans
  • For rounding clocking times, the new option “Round according to work plan basis” has been added to the work plan settings. With this setting, clocking times are no longer rounded to the full hour, but according to the normal working times stored in the work plan (normal start, normal end).
    Examples of how to use the new option can be found in the Wiki.
  • A minimum duration can now be configured on the “Breaks” tab. Breaks are only taken into account for automatic break extension once this minimum duration has been reached. Break bookings below this minimum duration are not considered by the “Automatic break extension” server job and are therefore not included in the calculation.
    A general description of how to configure automatic break bookings in accordance with statutory break regulations can be found in the Wiki.
    

E·R·Plus login

• The E·R·Plus login has been revised and divided into three separate login areas:
  Dongle login
  Login for users who continue to use a physical dongle.
  Online login
  Login via the E·R·Plus online user.
  Device login
  By scanning the displayed QR code or entering the displayed URL in the browser, the user is forwarded to the IdentServer login.
  After logging in successfully, the code shown on the login screen must be entered and the login confirmed. E·R·Plus then logs in automatically.
  The device login is particularly suitable for devices on which no input options, or only limited input options, are currently available, for example no keyboard.

Device management

• The usage type “Service vehicle” has been added to device management. Devices of this type will serve as the central data source for:
  • vehicle selection in service orders
  • vehicle assignment in personnel task planning teams

Changes in service orders and personnel task planning
The “Vehicle” field no longer supports free text input. Instead, only devices that have been created as service vehicles can be selected.
Note regarding existing data
To ensure that previously used vehicles continue to be displayed in existing data records, they must be created as new devices in device management with the usage type “Service vehicle”.

AI functions

• Introduction of AI functions in RTF text fields
  Various AI functions for editing and generating text have been added to the RTF text fields, for example changing the style, shortening, or translating text.
  Paid module access is required to access these functions in the context menu.

LogiKal interface

• The LogiKal V2 interface is no longer supported.

Final costing

• When using the invoice-based final costing method, material corrections for length material in closed storage are now displayed in final costing.
  This requires the setting “Enter material correction for piece and length material in final costing” to be activated.

Interfaces

• Structured interfaces can now be created for several data records at the same time using multiselect. In this case, the interface form always opens empty.
  Please note that existing interface information in the selected data records will be completely overwritten by the new values.
  This functionality is available in the following areas:
  – Estimate items
  – Material requirements
  – Interface orders
  – Goods notices
  – Factory orders

PDF-Editor

Additional module subject to a fee

• Documents that have been sent for approval can now be rejected.
  After a rejection, an email notification is sent and a user task is created to inform the sender of the document about the rejection.

Personnel absence

• Email notification for absence requests
  In addition to holiday requests, requests for other absence types, for example “Take holidays from time account”, can now also be approved directly via the email notification that is sent to the supervisor or substitute when the request is submitted via the TimeApp.
• Confirmation email for approving an absence request
  If an absence request of the type “Take holidays from time account” is set to “Approved” in E·R·Plus, the applicant now receives a confirmation email, as is already the case when a holiday request is approved. Please note that, for now, this functionality has only been extended to this absence type.

Personnel management

• The “Substitute” field is now used as the substitute of the employee instead of the substitute of the supervisor.
  The entries in the “Supervisor” and “Substitute” fields are required in particular for selecting the supervisor when submitting absence requests.

Project centre

• Documents can now be added by drag and drop in all expanders in the project centre. They are automatically linked to the respective data record. In addition, the context menu entry “Show linked documents” is available in each expander and can be used to open the document explorer.
  Please note that the “Documents” user right with at least “Read, Write + Add new” is required to add documents, while at least “Read” is required for the “Show linked documents” function.

SEPA interface

• For German and Austrian language and culture settings, SEPA files are now created in the pain.009 format.

Estimate

• Excel import
  When creating a template for Excel import, the columns “Level”, “Optional item” and “Description” are now also exported.
  Notes:
  The level number shown is reduced by one, so items on level 1 are output as level 0, items on level 2 as level 1, and so on.
  Optional items are identified using the values “TRUE” and “FALSE”.
  This information is also taken into account when importing into the estimate.

Goods notices

• The option “Do not automatically suggest other reservations” has been added to the general settings under “Goods notices”. This option is disabled by default.
  When the option is enabled, no alternative reservations are suggested during goods notice release if the original reservation is not sufficient. Other reservations can still be selected manually via the “Select reservations” function in the “Goods notice release” form.

Factory orders

• Factory order instances now allow new systems to be created.
  Further information can be found in the Wiki.
• Stock-produced items can now be created directly from factory orders.
  Further information can be found in the Wiki.
• A “Weight” column has been added to factory order items, which can optionally be displayed.
  Please note that no automatic calculation is performed for this column; only the values entered by the user are displayed.
  The “Weight” column has also been added to the “Search/filter factory order items” form, where the information stored in the factory order items is displayed.

Outgoing payments

• The execution date of a bank transfer can now also be adjusted after the SEPA file has been created.
• If the execution date of one or more payments is in the past, a prompt is displayed when creating the SEPA file, asking whether it should be automatically adjusted to the current date.

ZUGFeRD interface

• ZUGFeRD V1
  The ZUGFeRD V1 export is no longer supported. The corresponding calls have been removed from the outgoing invoice form and from Search/filter outgoing invoices. Please use the XRechnung (EU standard e-invoice)/ZUGFeRD export V2 instead.
• XRechnung (EU standard e-invoice)/ZUGFeRD export V2
  When exporting XRechnung (EU standard e-invoice)/ZUGFeRD export V2, “Name2” and “Name3” from the recipient address are now also transferred to the XML in addition to “Name1”. They are written to the corresponding field separated by spaces.
