New Features

Purchase Requisitions

• New Address type has been added called 'Delivery to us', which will only show physical addresses for companies linked to Locations, which are considered as Internal companies.
  
  
  
• Address Types can be enabled/disabled from Setting Maintenance. Setting names are: 
        Activate 'Deliver to Company'
        Activate 'Deliver to us'  
        Activate 'Job Site Address'
  
  
• New setting for Next Purchase Requisition Number: Next PR number can be set by Profit Centre   or globally (one sequence number globally). It is set on Settings Maintenance.

               Global:  PR+-+number                                     PR00001
  
  If none of the settings above are set, the system will continue to use the numbering logic used until now, based on ProfitCentre.LastPRSeqNo + 1
  
  
• New permission Edit PO/PR Foreign Currency, will enable or disable editing of FC Rate and hide or show Fix FC Rate checkbox on Purchase Requisitions details. If this permission is part of the user role, then FC Rate will be editable and Fix FC rate will be showing. By default the permission is not part of any role.
  
  

• New Purchase requisition line column, Extra3, which can be managed from Grid Management. It will show lookup values for LookupType = ‘PO Reference 3’. Lookup values can be edited from Edit Lookups screen. 
  The value saved on each line will flow to Purchase Order lines, to POReference3 field (which also shows values from lookup type = ‘PO Reference 3’ ). Purchase Order lines will show POReference3 column on next Web Workbench release.
  
  

• Extension columns: Custom extension columns can be created for Purchase Requisitions and if available a new section called Extension Columns will appear on Purchase Order screen.

          These columns can be managed from Extension Table Column Maintenance screen, and they need to be part of view called: Web Purchase Requisition
          the extension columns match those extension columns in Purchase Order table (must be exact name, type, size), the values from a PR will flow to the PO, when the PR gets concerted into a PO.

Purchase Orders

• New permission Edit PO/PR Foreign Currency, will enable or disable editing of FC Rate on Purchase Order details. If this permission is part of the user's role, then FC Rate will be editable. By default the permission is not part of any role.
  
  
• Extension columns: Custom extension columns can be created for Purchase Order table and if available, a new section called Extension Columns will appear on the Purchase Order screen. 
  These columns can be managed from Extension Table Column Maintenance screen, and they need to be part of view called: Web Purchase Order
  If the extension columns match those extension columns in Purchase Order table (must be exact name, type, size), the values from a PR will flow to the PO, when the PR gets converted into a PO.

Administration

• GST Type Detail : Checkboxes have been introduced on the GST Type screen to indicate the context for which a GST type should be available. This can limit the GST types available on the Activity maintenance, Sales Code maintenance, AP Invoice entry, and Job Sales Invoice screens. The installation will enable both contexts for all GST types for existing sites as per the previous behaviour, but this should be updated for improved user experience. 
  
  

Contracts

• Contract Enquiry : A "New Budget" button is added to the Budget tab on Contract Enquiry to ease creation of a new budget.
  
  
• Budgets : The Budget screen now allows specific budget lines to be selected and added into a specified Claim Schedule for billing; either as individual lines or aggregated. Note it is the user's responsibility to ensure that duplicates are not created.
  
  

Jobs 

• Job Maintenance - On Closing or Finalising a header job you are now prompted with additional checkboxes with the option to also Close or Finalise the subjobs. The reverse process also applies should you re-open or un-finalise a header job, that you are prompted with the option for doing the same to the sub jobs.
  
  

Billing

• Claims - A "Final Invoice" button now displays on the claim based job invoices once approved. This must be clicked once the final invoice has been sent to the client, and this will change the status from Approved to Sent; which will then allow the invoice to be batched for export. This process is now equivalent to that of input and output based invoices.
   
• Claims  - Since multiple contract claims may be open concurrently and claims values are on a to-date basis, it was possible to have inconsistent previous claims-to-date values on the later claim if the previous claim was amended. This inconsistency can no longer occur as later claims are now be automatically updated whilst retaining the individual claim values.
  
  

Datasheets

• Datasheets : File attachments have been introduced at the instance level of datasheets. This allows any file type to be loaded an associated with a specific datasheet that was filled in or completed.
  
  

Plant

• Plant Items List - The ellipsis menu on the list items now supports defining of budgets for the plant.
   

Purchasing

• AP Invoice Details - An auto calculated Received Qty is now displayed on the Confirmation Purchase Order screen displaying the sum of previously received. Enable this calculation using the control parameter "Auto Receipt With APInvoice".

Feature Revisions

General

• The Job Work Centre description may not have displayed in some instances although the data was correct. This is rectified and affected Purchase order lines, and the Orders tab on Job Enquiry.
   

Administration

• Cost Category : A cost category of "General" is now automatically installed to be used for activities without any specific cost category, or if a cost category breakdown is not required.
  
  
• Control Parameters : You may find that there are fewer control parameter visible now as an explicit flag has been introduced to limit visibility of control parameter to only those pertinent to WebWB.
   
• Price Codes The currency on Labour tab for Price Codes now defaults to the system currency to minimise possible error due to oversight. It previously defaulted to the first currency of the list. Also, existing price codes without a currency (if created by the MDE), will have the labour currency initialised to the system currency to have WebWB compliant data.
   

Jobs

• Job Wizard - The Contract on the parent job was displayed incorrectly when manually creating the sub job and using the parent job as the masterfile to copy. This has been rectified.
   

Plant

• Plant Item - The Driver and Driver Move Date fields are now optional on Plant detail.
   
• Plant Item - On creating a new plant item, the list of job templates are now filtered to plant jobs only.
   

Work Breakdown

• Activity Details - GST Type has been added to Activity details of the Stock type. It is advised that your stock activities be reviewed.
