Additional improvements

Spanning activities - durationInMinutes mapped to duration (DAUNO), plannedDurationInMinutes mapped to work (ARBEI). 

Suppressing redundant events. In order to narrow system load, additional checks are performed and event raised only when results are positive - if events are raised or only for FSM Cloud Connector related objects.

/PACG/ECM_SAASG was extended with Sales Office selection. Sales office is checked only when it’s filled in the configuration table. If it is not, sales office assignment of objects is not considered at all in programs.

Network Orders can be used in FSM Connector replacing service orders.

If a received message has already been processed, an idoc with status 56 will be created (related to the 'Check GUID on Input' functionality).

Defect corrections

Do not raise activity event after setting rating in activity. 

Setup program does not overwrite values of - guid_input_check - no_confirmation fields anymore. If they’re changed by the user, they keep their values after setup rerun.

In SAP, the incoming checklists’ having no content are now turned into IDOCs and processed as a result creating empty checklists (only header data is stored, the rest is simply missing) instead of sending no confirmation back (leaving checklists in FSM blocked).
