Workbench Release Notes

IN PROGRESS
Beta Release 4.6.5.1

Scheduled Release - 10 April 2023

New Features

Feature Revisions

Jobs

  • Job Budget:

    • Budget Entry - At Revenue & Cost:
      FC Revenue was not being re-calculated when editing Markup or FC Sell Rate on the Revenue line. This has been rectified.

    • Emailing a budget variation or scope change to a client:
      We have created an email template to be used with Budgets, so users can configure the budget template for when they email scope changes or variations on the original budget to their clients. The email will have the budget report as attachment and this pdf file name will have the Budget Internal reference.
      Remember that there are internal and external facing Budget reports, some displaythe Costs and some don’t.

Budget Entry - At Revenue & Cost revenue line does not default FC Revenue

Purchasing

  • Purchase Requisitions:

    • New PR cannot be created for Jobs that are Closed, nor Purchase Orders can be created if the Job on the Purchase Requisition is now closed. An error message advising the user of this willbe displayed and the PO will not be created.

  • AP Vouchers:

    • Replace AP Invoice pdf from Xtracta with a more recent one:
      Users might need to load an updated AP Invoice pdf, more recent than the pdf processed by XTracta, and they can now do so from the Attachments screen on the Voucher. The pdf processed by Xtracta must be deleted (this will unlink the document to the AP Voucher), and the new pdf attached. A note with the DocumentID from XTracta will be added as a Comment for audit purposes.

    • New PO Type filter on AP Vouchers list:
      A PO Type filter is added on Voucher List to support use of specific PO types. A voucher will match if any voucher line has an associated PO of the specified filter type.

    • Duplicate AP invoice number validations:
      Made a typo and entered a space before or after an AP Invoice number and you did not notice? Workbench has added extra validation to help users, specially those using manual vouchers, identify when duplicate AP invoices are being entered:

      • Trim invoice number for spaces when saving manual vouchers.

      • Cater for leading spaces on the duplicate numbers function so these will be detected correctly.

    • Display Work Centre on Voucher’s Docket Lines tab:
      Work Centre can now be enabled to be displayed on the Docket Lines tab on a Voucher. Use 'Voucher Docket Line List' grid on Grid Management to enable it.

Plant

Timesheets

  • Week-Based EBA Profiles with Leave:
    Leave is now considered in the calculation of week-based profiles. Those profiles use the 'Wk' Day value.

Billing

  • Job Outputs - improved filters:
    Users can now filter by Client and also different options when searching by Job Code.

Service Logs

  • Service Log list:
    A new filter as been added to be able to see a list of logs raised by a specific user: ‘Raised By'.

  • The General tab has had a few enhancements:

    • New Expected Value (currency)

    • New Reference field

    • Log Comments has been renamed to Log Details

    • Service Agreement field will not display if there is no data in the ServiceAgreement table (note: Service Agreements can only be maintained from the WOrkbench legacy platform - MDE).

    • Asset field will not display if there is no data in the Assets table.

Quotes

Month End

  • Batch export notes:
    Adding to the new functionality released on 4.6.3, with the new History button on each batch, the system will no longer populate the Batch Notes, and this text field can be used by users to add any references/comments. The field has a limit of 1000 characters.
    Any actions performed on the batch (Closed, flagged as Not for Export, Exported, Re opened,) are now displayed on the Events on the History button.

System Setup

  • Jobs - WIP Codes:
    A new flag has been added to the WIP Codes screen called ‘No WIP if Invoiced', for input-based WIP methods.
    If this is ticked on a Job’s WIP Code, the WIP Accrual for this Job is flagged as not required if there is no invoicing on the Job.

  • Workflow Schema reports:
    The report to print a specific Workflow schema has been modified to only include the Workflow being viewed rather than all of them.

Administration

  • Users:

    • Licence not saving:
      When assigning licences to a User from the Application Access tab the first licence line was nots aving. This has been rectified and only happened for legacy licences (not the new licence scheme).

  • Data imports:

    • Validation on Jobs Import:
      On the wbImportJobsWithTemplate import, a new validation has been added to verify that either the AR Account or the Parent Job Code is populated.

  • Application Access:

    • Licence Matrix - new Contact Information tab:
      A new tab has been added that will be used to store active employees as:

      • Admin Contact - the person to communicate with regarding the status of the system e.g. new features, outages, etc.

      • Commercial Contact - the person who makes decisions around the number of user licences, new modules, etc.

These contacts must be kept up to date, and replaced by active employees if one of them leaves the company.

General

  • Work Centre picker suggestion not filtered:
    A recent change to trigger the Work Centre suggestions immediately had a side effect on the picker filtering, and that has been rectified.

  • User settings initialisation:
    There are some initialisation scripts which update Settings values based on MDE data (Workbench legacy platform).

    This is causing problems in that Settings values are getting overwritten with incorrect data.

    The following scripts have been modify so that the Setting values are not updated, just created if they are not already there:

    • wbweb_InitialiseAPInvoiceApproversLimit

    • wbweb_InitialisePOApproversLimit

    • wbweb_InitialiseWOApproversLimit

Integrations

Upvise

  • Daily Diary:
    A minor bug was fixed in the Daily Diary causing an error when generating project hours on the mobile.

  • New Setting - Manager can reset form status to Draft:
    Upvise has introduced a new setting called "Manager can reset form status to draft".

    Please engage Workbench support to have this function applied to your site”. You can find this in Forms/options/user rights, and once the custom change has been done by the Support team this new functionalitty will work.

    This will enable "manager" type users to reset forms to draft.

    Previously only admin type users could reset forms to draft.
