Base Release 4.3.5.x

...

With the upgrade the AP Invoice popup will now simply display on top of the existing context. For example, the AP Invoice popup now displays directly on top of My Approvals List , and closing the popup will display My Approvals List and not AP Invoice List as before. Previously, navigating to an AP Invoice from any where anywhere but AP Invoice List, required the underlying screen to redirect to the list before displaying the popup. This may have caused disorientation and requires an additional click to navigate back to the original context.

...

Consider this example from theCompany the Company popup Attachments tab, although this functionality is available on all Attachments tabs.

...

All System Admin users will now receive a one-time notification per Release. Note this excludes minor Release revisions / hotfixes.

...

This provides an opportunity to review the corresponding Release Notes if desired. Remember the Release Notes are always accessible from the User Profile menu.

Feature Revisions

General

• A variety of list screens have undergone routine performance review, and improved response times should be experienced on:

  • Job List

  • Job Financials List

  • Contract Enquiry

  • Job Enquiry

  • Purchase Order List

  • AP Invoice Batch Entry

  • AP Credit Batch Entry

  • Batch Timesheet List
  • Batch Control List

Timesheets

• Mobile Timesheet - An issue with deletion of a timesheet entry from the mobile screen is rectified. Note, deletion of a timesheet line with associated plant will also delete the plant entry.
  

• Timesheet Administration - Excel Export support has been added to the filter on the Timesheet Administration list.

Purchasing

• Purchase Requisition - An issue creating a Purchase Order from the PR with a designated PR Type has been rectified.

• AP Voucher -
  
  • Header -
    • The auto supplier matching has been improved to include the Supplier, Subcontractor and Active flags on the company.
    • The supplier in the header is now disabled when This Voucher tab contains a line. This ensures that we do not inadvertently map across different suppliers. If the supplier is incorrect and requires changing, then all This Voucher lines must be deleted to re-enable the supplier.
  • PO Lines - An issue where Declined vouchers were displaying in the Vouchers column is rectified. This was a display issue only.
  • This Voucher - The Job, Work Centre, Activity, and GST Type on This Voucher tab for docket derived lines are now disabled to ensure the coding is retained.
  • The GST spread on docket-based AP Invoices has been improved to spread on a pro-rata basis if edited.

• AP Voucher Workflow - The link on the review and approval email notification has been adjusted.

Contracts

• Forecast - The Forecast tab is improved to recognise a Forecast Closed period and disables the Reviewed and Complete columns, and the Refresh, Approve, and Save buttons. The Reviewed and Complete columns are also disabled on Approved Forecasts.

Jobs

• Quote -
  • Extension column support has been added to Quotes. This is configured in the usual manner through Extension column maintenance and View definitions.
  • Report Text support has been added to Quote for header and footer. This is also supplemented by new HTML settings ‘Report Quote Header’ and ‘Report Quote Footer’. These elements are used for the new Quote Summary report, refer the New Reports wbQuote001 below.

• Budget -
  • Negative budgets, such as a reduced scope of work, can now be approved through the standard workflow, if workflow is used. The (negative) budget total is processed based on its absolute value as pertaining to the workflow approval limits.
  • An issue where the Budget Type was not inherited from the header when importing using 'Budget Lines With Job Work Centres', and then not explicitly saving; is rectified.

• Job Template - Job Templates now support the definition of Job Groups that default into the Job Wizard as referenced.

Billing

• Input Output Based Get Sales - The Apply Filter button has been enhanced to auto save the state of grid lines to allow progressively working through the lines by applying filters. Note the line state is only saved for the screen session so the Save - Generate Billing button must still be clicked when complete in order to generate the invoice. Leaving the screen without the Save action will abandon the line states.

Subcontracts

• Work Order - Work order lines of an approved Work Order can now be manually completed by ticking the Complete checkbox. This will zero the outstanding values of the line, and if there are no further outstanding work order lines then the work order header will also be completed. Note, at this moment this is an irreversible action and the checkbox is disabled once the line is completed.

...

• Timesheets - The Bulk Transactions popup is improved to calculate the Hours based on the Start and End Time if supplied. Alternatively, the Hours can be entered or edited directly.

...

• Office 365 and Emailing -
  • Enabling Office 365 authentication previously enabled email communication was also necessarily integrated at the user level. This allows for automatic email synchronisation for the Email Conversation panel, however, it also meant that the 'Send Email From' control parameter was ignored.
  • A new control parameter 'Office 365 Communication' is now available to switch off Office 365 email integration.
  • This allows clients that wish to use 365 authentication but require 'Send Email From' functionality, to be appropriately set up. With 'Office 365 Communication' set as 'No', email functionality revert back reverts to the standard SendGrid model.

• User -
  • The issue where tabbing through the Employee tab inadvertently defaulted some fields is rectified.
  • The issue where the Settings tab was saving the boolean as zero instead of Null when the value was non-boolean is rectified.

• Utility Maintenance - The Display type of utility is now supported for better MDE compatibility for continued used use of existing utilities. A Display utility returns a data set rather than performing a process, and these were typically used for data extraction, and requires access to the database to compile. From the web perspective an alternative is generally the Excel export from the filter button of a required list.

• wbUtilityChangeAPInvoiceBatchDate Utility -

  • This utility has been updated to include any date adjustments made to the Batch header and AP invoices down to related JobTransaction to prevent any mismatch.

  • If the Batch date is changed out of the period, then the AP Invoice and JobTransaction dates are change if the 'Check AP Invoice Date is in Batch Period' ctrl param is set to Yes. Previously this only occurred at AP Invoice level, and only if the Financial System was MYOB or Xero.
  • Validations have been enhanced and period change can only be by one period.
