...

• AP Vouchers List - The 'Include Subjobs' filter has been added to the filter criteria for use in combination with Job = condition.

• AP Vouchers -

  • The ‘Source’ link on the This Voucher tab did not work when multiple POs were invoiced. This issue is now rectified.

Transactions

• Job Adjustment Batch List - Add a ‘Created By’ filter to Job Adjustment Batch List.

• Job Adjustment Batch - The batch currency is now populated with the local currency code even when foreign currencies are not used. This is to support compatibility with some financial integrations.

Month End

• Batch Control (Export Control) - Added a ‘Created By’ as a filter and a column on Batch Control list.

Subcontracts

• Contractor Daysheet - The Rate on the daysheet was being rounded to 2 decimals on SV Approval. This is an issue where the original rate precision was quoted to more precision, and this issue is now rectified.

• Subcontract Claims - Rectified an issue where use of the control parameter 'Insurance Sub Claim Checking' being Disallow also prevented the processing of retention release when insurances had expired.

Datasheets

• Datasheet Template Type - The template type has been enhanced to support easier definition of datasheet availability. A datasheet of the type will display for:

  • any listed Plant Classes or Plant Groups or Plant Items, but

  • only for people People with one of the listed rolesRoles

  • note, undefined Plant Class and Group implies display of the datasheet by default rather than exclusion

Reporting

• Reports - An issue where custom report files (.rdl) could be cleared if they used a duplicate ‘Report URL’ has been rectified. This was previously necessary to clean up duplicate Report URLs causing incorrect report rendering.

Administration

• Data Import List - Enhanced the some import procedures that omitted checking to reject imports where the batch is Closed, Exported or Not For Export, or the batch period is closed

Integration
