Defect 952857: Overhead Allocation was incorrectly including an asset account as an indirect expense in its calculation if you had processed an asset transfer or disposal before running overhead allocation. After you processed an asset transfer or disposal, the Project Detail report incorrectly showed the asset account for the asset transfer or disposal as an indirect expense.
Defect 969262: If a project and its phase that belonged to one company had a different functional currency from that of the adjustment phase (which belonged to another company), the posted amount that exceeded the upset limit amount did not use the functional currency of the adjustment phase. This defect occured when you set Revenue Generation to post immediately.
Defect 983074: On the Experience tab in the Employees hub, when you clicked the filter icon and selected records to filter the contents of the Project grid, nothing happened.
Defect 974211: After upgrading from Vision, firms that were Firm Type: Client could not be accessed by users with a Security role type of Accounting only.
Defect 978745: On the Contacts tab, you could not save a contact record that was entered using the Add New Contact link.

Defect 973090: When one opportunity record was opened and then you opened another opportunity, an error would display when you selected a Stage for either record.
Defect 979729: You were unable to enter a new project if two delimeters that you set up for project number formatting were the same.

Defect 970655: When you were creating a new project based on an existing project, there was a long delay between when you selected the existing project and when the Copy Plan check box was enabled. During that delay, DPS was retrieving all of the project and plan information from the database, but nothing displayed to indicate that this was occurring. As a result, some users concluded that there was a defect or that the option to copy the plan was not available for some other reason. This release eliminates the long delay.

Defect 955114: When viewing projects in List View in the Projects hub, you did not have the option to filter the grid based on values in the Project Name column.
Defect 975472: When a plan belonged to a company other than the employee’s company, the employee could not copy planned hours in My Stuff > Timesheet because the project was not available to select.
Defect 983124: When you shifted a plan's end date at the project level, it did not shift to the correct end date. This occurred when you did the following on the Labor tab in Plan mode in the Projects hub:
You changed a plan's end date at the project level to one month out.
On the Reschedule Plan Dates dialog box, you selected Shift, left the new end date in the To This Plan Date Range end date field, and clicked Reschedule.
The end date was changed by years instead of by a month and was also changed for all the lower WBS levels, which should not have happened.
Defect 972841: When an incorrect entry was made on the Contract Management tab, attempting to save produced a warning message and resulted in lines on other contracts being removed, added, or doubled.
Defect 974219: In Plan mode in the Projects hub, the JTD (job-to-date) hours on the Labor tab for some plans were incorrect.

Defect 983814: You were unable to access Plan Settings in Settings » Resource Planning » Plan Settings if your security role did not have access to Settings » Rate Tables. You should have been able to access Plan Settings without having access to rate tables.
Defect 971103: Planning and planning baseline budget data was not populating in the Budget Billing Amount, Budget Hours, and Budget Rate columns in project reports.
Defect 968597: An unposted labor discrepancy occurred when an employee was associated with two companies and both companies used the same time periods. If labor hours were posted for the employee in one company and the other company had an open timesheet for the employee in the same period, the Unposted Labor report showed the hours posted for the first company as unposted.
Defect 974833: The budget hours and amount were blank on the Project Summary report when you used the "Employee number is me" (search field and operator) for the project search criteria.

Defect 979652: This issue applied when you added a user-defined hub in DPS and you then added a lookup field in that user-defined hub that linked to another hub. When you ran a report for the user-defined hub that included the lookup field, the internal ID for the hub field displayed on the report instead of the hub record’s name.
Defect 952733: If you selected a grouping option on the Column Settings & Selections dialog box in Resource View and/or you selected one or more utilization-related columns to display, scrolling the contents of the Resource View grid was slow.
Defect 978148: When you selected a resource in the Select Resources field in Resource View, the list of resources in the drop-down list in the field was cut off and did not show the full list of resources.
Defect 983132: The percentages in the Scheduled % and Utilization % columns in Resource View were incorrect, based on expected rounding in the calendar grid. For example, if a resource was scheduled for 33 out of 40 available hours, which equals 82.5%, it was incorrectly rounded to 82% instead of 83%.
Defect 978883: You received a "Field DefaultValueGrid does not exist" error when you did the following in Screen Designer:
Added a drop-down field to a grid in a hub and added several values for it.
Added a row to the grid and saved it.
Added another value for the drop-down list and set it as the default value for the field.
When you clicked Save, you received the error.

Defect 977309 and 982317: If you entered a new phase number in Utilities > Key Conversions > Tasks in the desktop application, the utility created a new phase and cleared the tasks. You cannot enter a phase number that doesn't already exist in the project.
Defect 975458: When an expense report was approved using the approvals workflow, and then reopened and rejected, the reject email notification was not sent to the submitter even if the reject Step Action was configured to do so on the Workflow tab of the Approvals Configuration form of the desktop application (Settings » Workflow » Approval Workflows).
Defect 968084: When an approver for the final step of an approval workflow saved a change while reviewing an AP Invoice before approving it, an error message indicated that the voucher batch file, voucher date, and bank were missing. This occurred when the approval workflow was used for AP Invoice Approvals and the final step of the AP Approval workflow was set with a Workflow State of 'In Review' with a Step Action of 'Create Voucher' on the Workflow tab of the Approvals Configuration form of the desktop application (Settings » Workflow » Approval Workflows).
