New Features

Contractor Daysheet

A 'Contractor Daysheet' feature has been introduced to allow a contractor's daily progress to be recorded and approved against a predefined schedule of work.

This functionality consists of:

•  Contractor Schedule list and detail - Defines schedules of work specific to contractors for a job with the associated Manager and Supervisor.

•  Daysheet Entry - Record and code the daily work by a contractor against defined schedule lines. This may be performed internally or by the contractor using the Subcontractor Portal.

•  Contractor Daysheet list and detail - For the review and approval of recorded work by the supervisor.

•  AP Invoice Entry, Docket Recon - This includes the display of 'Approved' Contractor Daysheet docket lines for reconciliation.

See the detail notes in the Contractor Daysheets documentation.

Docket Reconciliation

Various refinements have been made to improve the usability of the screen.

A.  The default filters, displayed on Reset, now include an Unreconciled criteria to limit the initial view to those dockets to be processed. Note, Unreconciled dockets exclude vouchered dockets, where vouchers are applicable.


B.  The Type criteria has an additional 'Vouchered' option to explicitly separate vouchered dockets from Reconciled (AP invoiced), Reversed (or reversal), and Unreconciled dockets.

C.  A new contextual 'AP Document' now displays:

•  a link to the associated AP Voucher (Vch prefix); the vouchered values of the line are displayed in the Reconciled values; or
•  a link to the associated AP Invoice (Inv prefix), or
•  a Reversed and Reversal Docket is noted

D.  Reversed and Reversal Docket in the list also have a sub-grid that displays the counter docket. Note, the primary list is not limited to Reversed dockets, and it is possible that both Reversed and Reversal Dockets are displayed in the primary grid.

E.  A [Print] button is available for the 'Docket Reconciliation' report type that uses the filter criteria of the list. A new standard report is available refer below re. 'wbDocketReconciliation001 - Docket AP Invoice Reconciliation'.

F.  As usual a report may be emailed from the envelope icon.
