Hotfix Release 4.4.22.19

Released 24 Apr 2020

  • Timesheets - Previously based on the control parameter ‘Timesheet Type’, the timesheet entry and approvals could be presented as weekly timesheets, then the Timesheet Administration was as weekly as well.  But, particularly where EBA is involved, Timesheet Administration is now always presented as daily irrespective of the control parameter. 

 

Beta Release 4.4.22.18

Released 20 Apr 2020

New Features

Bill Of Materials Maintenance

The Bill Of Materials (BOM) structure as referenced in the Budget screen can now be maintained directly from Web Workbench instead of using the MDE.

A. The Bill Of Materials List is accessed from System Setup - Jobs site map. The list provides the familiar filtering and column sorting functionality, with new BOMs being created from the ‘New BOM’ button and editing by clicking the desired BOM Header ID.

B. BOM adding and editing is through the BOM popup.

C. The BOM header consists of 4 fields:

BOM Item - Select the item to which the BOM lines will be associated. The item must exist, and for new BOMs the new item can be created from Stock Item List as either a Stock or Non-Stock item.
Unit - The unit of measure for the composite item.
BOM Type - Select a type for the BOM item. The types can be defined as a Lookup with the Type of ‘BOMType’.
Description - An optional brief of the item.

D. The BOM lines allow definition of various cost types as specified by the Type column, in the same manner as budget lines. The lines define:

Sequence (Hand) - Drag-drop this column to order the lines if required.
Type - Dictates the type of line - Activity, Plant, Labour, or Item.
Line Code - A contextual picker based on the Type;

Activity - disabled
Plant - Plant picker
Labour - Employee Class picker
Item - Stock Item picker

Plant Rate - The rate applicable to a Plant line.
Activity, Work Centre, Description, Unit, Quantity, Details as expected.
Cost Rate - Defaulted based on the Type.
Fixed - Indicates a fixed cost irrespective of number of instances of the BOM i.e. cost incurred once only.
Procurement Type - Hard wired list of procurement options.

E. On Saving the Total value of the BOM is reflected in the list.

 

Feature Revisions

    • Cater for sync of the job transactions when the AP invoice currency rate is updated

Lists

Jobs

  • Job Wizard -

    • The Next Step and Save will now validate the Job Code to ensure uniqueness in a concurrent creation scenario.

  • Job Maintenance - The Save will now require an active Job Manager and Account Manager on open jobs. Closed jobs can reference inactive managers.

  • Job Enquiry - The filter on the Orders tab is auto applied to avoid confusion between the grid and the filter.

Contract

  • Potential Gains / Losses - Rectified an issue with the ‘Total Profit/(Loss) Impact’.

  • Extension Columns tab - The standard extension column feature is now supported on contracts where the standard ‘Web Portal’ view is supported.

Billing

  • Job Invoice - Previously we were prevented from unapproving a job invoice in a closed period, and this prevented and correction to the invoice. The unapprove action no longer requires an open period, however, all other rules remain as is.

  • Get Sales Subjobs - Rectified a total display issue that was not accounting for some outputs.

Subcontracts

  • Subcontract Claim - Rectified an issue that could result in a rounding error on the GST.

Daily Diary

  • Internal Plant - The Line Description is now auto truncated to 50 characters to prevent a system error.

Plant

  • Plant Meter Reading - An error was displayed preventing multiple meter readings being saved together; this is rectified.

  • Assignment Stand Down - The Stand Down description is now validated for a maximum of 50 characters.

  • Plant Issues - When applying Transfer Costing on Plant Issues, we now treat a zero transfer rate the same as null i.e. no transfer rate. This will retain behavioural compatibility with MDE.

Administration

  • Data Import - The Data Import, either from an Import button or from the Data Import List, is now displayed as a popup rather than a page. The core functionality remains as is, however, you now automatically return to your previous page on completion of the import.

  • Batch Control - An error message is now displayed should the user attempt to export the batch defined in the control parameter 'Def Subcontract Claim Batch'.

  • Excel File Imports - The Excel import is upgraded to support single and double quotes in Excel format. This is a generic enhancement and is supported in all Excel templates.

  • Licence Allocation Matrix - The application cache will auto-clear after licences have been allocated to users.

  • Data Import List - The Jobs Import is updated to support fields Order Number, Job Reference, EBA Scheme, Labour Costing Group, and Created Date.

 

Integration

MYOB Advanced

  • Branch Integration - Integration will no longer use the branch code on the FinCo but on the Setting instead. Data will automatically be migrated on upgrade. Profit Centre Branch stays as it is. This DOES NOT require an endpoint update.

Upvise

  • Upvise Standard Forms - Support for client changes to the form name on Plant Movement, Driver Change, Leave Application, and Time and Attendance forms by using a hidden field 'Workbench Form Name'. Note, you will need to set the ‘Workbench Form Name’ field for existing forms on our instance/clients as the default field added to templates won’t populate on existing forms of that templates.

  • No access user licences now create the Upvise users in a deactivated state.
