• Image Documents List - Corrected an integration issue on the self-service renewal of the Data Extraction Plan.

• AP Voucher - To improve backward compatibility with MDE style value based PO line i.e. where the qty = 1 although irrelevant, dragging a scanned line(s) with a zero (total) qty will set set the PO Line Qty to 1; and if the scanned value is equal or greater than the PO Line value then the Line Complete will auto-tick.

• AP Voucher Credit - The ‘Apply to AP Invoice’ picker on the ‘Invoice Lines’ tab now also supports selection of an AP Invoice still at voucher stage i.e. an unapproved AP Invoice. Note un-applied credits are entered as manual lines on ‘This Voucher’ tab.

• AP Invoice - An issue where a user is able to override the default GST Type without selecting a specific GST Type is remedied.

Jobs

• Job Templates - The mandatory indicator (*) has been updated to clarify the actual fields required.

Job Costs

• Job Adjustment Batch Detail - Adjustments may now be specified in foreign currency. A control parameter ‘Use Foreign Currency’ will be initialised to Yes should you have foreign currencies defined. This flag allows a foreign currency to be selected, that also displays the respective exchange rate. The domestic currency is default. Adjustment values are then specified in the stipulated currency.

Open

Billing

• Claim Based Get Sales - The ‘Rate’ has been displayed for the schedule, and we can now move between lines using Ctrl+Up/Down.

• Subcontract Claim - Corrected an error when displaying the Report Viewer due to an uninitialised 'ValueAsRecorded' field.

Work Breakdown

• Work Centre - The 'No Change to Work Centres' ctrl param is now supported and if set to Yes then only the Activity Group default Work Centre is valid in any Work Centre picker suggestion list and search popup. 

Daily Diary

• Time & Plant - An error that occurred on saving when the ‘Plant Item Ext’ column is hidden is rectified.

Plant

• Plant Assignment Bulk Issue - An issue where Plant Stand Downs were not correctly recognised is rectified.

Stock

• Non-Stock Default Cost - The default cost for an item can now be set per non-stock location from the Stock Item popup Locations tab; and if the location cost is not defined (blank) then the standard cost on the item is used.

• Stock Issue Batch Entry -

  • This has minor enhancements to column order, additional display of Units, and auto population based on the previous line.

  • An import procedure is now available for Stock Issues with a supporting MS Excel template.

• Stock Transactions - The specialised ‘From Stock Period’ filter used to display transaction from the last Stock Close Out has been deprecated in favour of the standard Period filter displaying the Close Out as an Opening position for its following period.

• My Approvals List - The daily reminder email has been enhanced to list all the action types that display in My Approvals; the additions being items to Edit & Submit i.e. manually assigned.

• Workflow Delegation - Delegation is now available on all workflow based approval processes; where previously it was only supported on Purchase Requisitions and AP Vouchers. Delegation allows for a specific document type assigned to User A to also be made visible to an alternate User B via their My Approvals List for a duration. Any action by the alternate user will be based on their own mandate (limit) for that document type.

• Validation Errors - Validation errors that do not auto disappear from view now have an explicit close icon on the message box.

  • Bearer – when Forms or Office365 is enabled

  • Kerberos – when Windows Authentication is enabled.

  Kerberos authentication is required for on-premise Windows Authentication sites, but it’s not compatible with OWIN (Basic and Bearer). When we enable Kerberos, workbench automatically disables Basic and Bearer authentication types.

Integration

Payroll

• IMS payroll export script now cater for the control parameter ‘EBA Mode’:

  • If EBA Mode  = 'Payroll' then source Payroll export transactions from Payroll table.

  • If EBA Mode  <>  'Payroll', use the current logic from JobTransactions table.

Upvise

• Work Centre's now sync to Upvise with a combination of Work Centre Code + Work Centre Description. Product issues in Upvise related to dockets synchronise the description back to the details field in Workbench.

• Setting a 'Default Job Code' on the Plant Location now automatically allocates equipment in Upvise to a project. If the Job Start/End dates are NULL in Workbench the Job Created Date is used for the Start Date In Upvise and the End Date is set to one year after the Start Date.
