Added Multi-Field Search Filter on all Transaction Search pages

Transaction Search pages now include a Multi-Field Search filter by default. The filter allows users to search multiple indexed text fields with a single keyword instead of selecting individual fields.

When a keyword is entered, MINT searches the indexed text fields for the corresponding business object and returns matching results from fields such as transaction identifiers, descriptions, statuses, partner names, and other indexed transaction data.

The Multi-Field Search filter is available by default in the Filter Panel on all Transaction Search pages and cannot be removed by page authors.

Key Benefits:

  • Search transaction records across multiple fields with a single keyword.

  • Find information without knowing which field contains the value.

  • Provide a consistent search experience across Transaction Search pages.

  • Ensure the search filter is always available in the Filter Panel.

Transaction Failed in ERP Due to Data Mismatch or configuration issues

The Redeliver Failed Transaction capability allows authorized MINT Owner users to redeliver failed outbound B2B transactions. Users must be assigned the MINT – Super Admin role to use this capability. An outbound B2B transaction can fail because of an ERP data mismatch or configuration issue. After the issue is corrected, the user can redeliver the same transaction directly from MINT. The trading partner does not need to resend the transaction.

Key Points

  • Redelivers the same failed outbound B2B transaction directly from MINT.

  • Reduces dependency on trading partners to resend failed transactions.

  • Shortens transaction recovery time and improves operational efficiency.

  • Gives MINT Owners greater control over failed transaction processing.

  • The Redeliver action is available from the following pages:

    • Business Transaction view page

    • Serialization Traceability view page
