Improve the user experience for importing configurations with missing dependencies to allow for a quicker deployment of Electronic reporting (ER) configurations.
Feature details
You can import an Electronic reporting (ER) configuration that is dependent on other configurations into your Finance instance. When you import the ER configuration from the Global repository, all configurations that your target configuration depends on are imported automatically. When you import from another configuration storage and at least one of the configurations your target configuration depends on is missing, the import process fails. This feature improves the process of ER configurations import by reducing the number of exceptions and clarifying what dependencies are missing.
When a required dependency is missing and you're using a configurations location and the configuration isn't available in the Global repository, ER shows the friendly name of a missing configuration along with its global unique identifier.
