  • The workflow approval has been amended to apply the workflow limits on the absolute value of the voucher. This is to cater appropriately for negative total values, as a different scenario to a voucher credit.

Dockets

• Dockets List - The import utility wbImportDocketLines has been amended as the lines were not visible after running the utility.
