Workbench Release Notes:

Note

IMPORTANT! .NET Framework upgrade required

For clients hosting their Workbench instance on-premise

Only those hosted by Workbench under the wbi.cloud domain are immune from the potential impact. Any other site, including those hosted by client themselves or their third party IT provider will need to double check if they actually meet the .NET requirement. 

.NET Framework 4.8 Runtime is required on the web server where Workbench is hosted. This is from version 4.5.26
The application will stop working if .NET is not upgraded before upgrading to 4.5.26+

AP Invoice Withhold payment Function:
AP Vouchers and AP Invoices can now be flagged as On Hold in Workbench and exported to Business Central where this flag is visible as well. On a Workbench AP Invoice this field will only be visible if the Supplier’s Financial Company integration is with Business Central.

  • Custom extension version 1.18.2.106 must  be installed in client’s Business Central instance to support this function.
