What's New on the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform?

The Lucanet licenses workspace now contains the AI in the CFO Solution Platform card. On this card, users with the License Manager role can activate and deactivate Lucanet Lume, the agents, and all other AI features at any time. All users receive a notification about the change.

The card is displayed as follows, for example:

For more information, see Managing Lucanet Licenses | Activating and Deactivating the AI Features.

Administrators can now define which reporting entities a user can access in Lease Accounting. In addition to the permissions of the user role, the user then only works with the data of the assigned reporting entities.

The reporting entities are assigned with the new Select reporting entities option in the Users workspace. The option is available when you edit an existing user. By default, all reporting entities are assigned to a user.

For more information, see Assigning Reporting Entities to Lease Accounting Users.

Data Hub now connects to SQL databases through JDBC. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, and PostgreSQL are available as source systems.

This way, you can connect a database for which no dedicated Lucanet integration exists, for example a regional ERP system. Where a dedicated integration exists, that integration remains the better choice, because it is tailored to the source system.

For every connection, the Version of the connection template of its source system is now displayed as well.

For more information, see Managing Connections.

In the configuration of a source dataset, you can now enter a variable instead of a fixed value and select a value for the variable every time you start an import. In the source dataset, you can define the variables together with the values that can be selected for them.

This way, an import brings in only the data that you actually need, for example the data of one period or one company, instead of the complete tables of the source system. A single source dataset covers all of these values, and a later import can replace the data of one value without reading everything again.

For more information, see Variables and Importing Data.

Administrators can now activate the TOTP MFA (authenticator app code) authentication method for users who log in with a user name and password. The user receives an e-mail and sets up an authenticator app at the next login. Afterwards, a six-digit code from the app is required at every login.

In the list of users, the icon indicates that multi-factor authentication is active, and you can filter the list accordingly. If a user no longer has access to their authenticator app, administrators can reset the multi-factor authentication for a single user or for several users at the same time.

For more information, see Multi-Factor Authentication with an Authenticator App and Authentication Methods.

The homepage of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform now consists of sections, with Ask Lume as the first section. Further sections that you can add, arrange, and remove for your own user account will follow shortly.

The new Data Hub is now available in the main menu of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform. Data Hub brings the management of external data integrations together in one central place.

In Data Hub, you can create connections to external source systems. For each connection, you can define one or more source datasets that specify the data to be imported, start an import at any time, and track its progress and results in a detailed execution history.

At release, Data Hub supports connections to SAP S/4HANA and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Integrations with additional solutions and source systems are planned.

Data Hub with its connections and source datasets is displayed as follows, for example:
