IN PROGRESS
Workbench Release Notes
Upcoming changes on Contract Claim Payment certificates:
Up untill now, Workbench standard Contract Claim Payment certificates have a section called Contract Summary, where the Budgets' values display. However, this section only includes Budget types Original Contract and Approved Variations. Any other budget types are not included. Moreover, if the Contract does not have a budget, this Contract Summary section would display $0.
We have decided to change the Contract Summary section to get the Original Contract and Variations from the Contract Claim Schedules instead.
Original Contract section: Will include Schedule type = Original Contract
Plus Approved Variations section: Will be renamed to ‘Plus Variations’ and will include any other Schedule types that are not Original Contract.
If you have a custom report, these changes should not affect your custom report.
