Connect for Outlook will be replaced with a newer product: Connect for Calendars.

By activating this Improved feature, you will disable the usage of the product Connect for Outlook (C4O). Prior to activation, make sure to migrate the data of C4O to Connect for Calendars (C4C) with the help of a Planon consultant.

Connect for Calendars benefits the customer in the following ways:

Make sure to prepare well in advance of activating the Improved feature - the effort of activating the solution and migrating/testing data is considerable.

For Cloud customers:

The Privacy sandbox setting determines under which domain the Keycloak server is deployed. This domain must be the same as the Planon environment's domain.

The setting can be found in the Environment Management gadget on the SSO tab. The setting should be set to 'On'.

To make this change, the IDP that is used for logging in must refer to the new domain. Instructions can be found in the Planon Webhelp under Privacy sandbox compatibility.

For IFRS 16: by activating this feature switch, the financial positions of Gross lease receivables (GROLERE) will be cleared on at the start date of the first open period.

Previously, in situation of subleasing, the unguaranteed residual value (URV, in Planon Lease accounting Solution Fixed account SL_E_RoU) was never recalculated when modifications were performed on the headlease or the sublease. Now, Planon Lease accounting Solution recalculates that URV (SL_E_RoU) in case any modification to the headlease or the sublease has an impact on its assessment.

The purpose of this improved feature is to ensure that past modifications on headlease or subleases that resulted in the booking of GROLERE amounts are transferred into the accurate position of URV (SL_E_RoU). This improved feature determines the present position of the URV (SL_E_RoU) and books the required adjustment with the current position, against the net counter booking of GROLERE balances within a correction posting at the start date of the first open period. A profit and loss effect balances the entry.

For all IFRS 16 head and sublease it is mandatory to activate this improved feature immediately after the upgrade and before making any modifications on existing headlease and sublease constructions to ensure an alignment of the situation of existing headlease and subleases with the new head and sublease behavior of Planon Lease accounting Solution.

REST was chosen as an interface to expose Planon data to other external applications. The goal is to provide an Enterprise Application Integration solution to enable integration with external applications.

The REST API is an industry standard, it is secure, light-weight, scalable, and can handle large amounts of data. Also, it is not be necessary for customers to implement custom Planon plugins (PaaP Apps) to solve integrations problems.

All tailor-made software that is installed using a 'jar file' will no longer be executed.

This switch can be activated once all traditional tailor-made software has been implemented by a Planon Platform app.
