Software Issues Resolved


Accounting >> Overhead Allocation

Defect 2024571: When you completed the Range of Periods fields and clicked Run, the Run Overhead Allocation confirmation message was incomplete and did not include the period end date.


API

Defect 1968052: When you tried to retrieve the list metadata for the CFGTKEmployeeGroup code table using the GET List Metadata API endpoint, you received the following error message: "Invalid code table CFGTKEmployeeGroup."


Billing >> Interactive Billing

Defect 1970651: This issue occurred if your security role did not give you rights to do processing in a closed period. In Interactive Billing, when you changed the period to a closed period, you received a message informing you that you were not allowed to run accounting processes in closed periods. However, you were incorrectly allowed to accept invoices in Interactive Billing, which is an accounting process.

Defect 1984349: Markups and annotations that you (or another user) had added to a draft billing invoice no longer displayed on the draft invoice when you opened it in Interactive Billing. This issue occurred if the invoice had been rejected in Hubs » Projects » Draft Invoice Approvals.

Defect 2007693: When the same invoice template was specified in the billing terms of multiple projects, the Billing Backup report did not display the correct project name in the draft and final invoices.


Cash Management

Defect 877632: This issue occurred when you created an automatic payment run in Cash Management » Vendor Payments or Cash Management » Employee Payments and selected to include EFT payments in the run. On the Select Vouchers or Select Expenses page, the grid displayed employees whose direct deposit status was set to Wait.


Cash Management >> Credit Card Reconciliation or Credit Card Review

Defect 2032202: Supporting documents attached to a credit card transaction record did not display when you selected [image] on the Credit Card Reconciliation form or on the Charges tab of the Credit Card Review form. This issue occurred when you created an AP Disbursements transaction record and, on the New File dialog box, set the Payment Method option to Credit Card.


Hubs >> Projects >> Contract Management

Defect 2032978: When you manually added a new phase or task to an existing project, the Include in Fees checkbox on the Contract tab was cleared.


Hubs >> Projects >> Invoices

Defect 2003652: AR comments were duplicated from one invoice to another if the invoices had the same invoice number for different projects and the same billing client was assigned to those projects.


Hubs >> Projects >> Project

Defect 1977196: This issue occurred when you, in Settings » CRM, set the Enable Lead Qualification option to No. On the Primary Client dialog box that you access from the Overview tab of the Projects form, the contact name in the Contact field could not be located.

Defect 1984396: When you used project search to select a project that belonged to a billing group containing a large number of projects, you received this error message: "The incoming request has too many parameters. The server supports a maximum of 2100 parameters. Reduce the number of parameters and resend the request."

Defect 2031397: This issue occurred when you converted a project linked to a promotional project from Vision 7.6 to Vantagepoint. After the conversion completed, the Primary Client and Primary Contact fields were blank.

Defect 2032382: This issued occurred when you created a project. Vantagepoint did not follow the Sequence Number Position that you specified for auto numbering project records in Settings » Workflow » Numbering.


Hubs >> Projects >> Project Review

Defect 2023288: For overhead type projects, when you selected Update % > Show Budget at Billing, changed the Overall % Complete value on the Billing Summary form, and saved the update, the changed value was not retained when you refreshed.


Login

Defect 2037987: You experienced invalid logins when you logged into Vantagepoint using Azure SSO. This issue occurred after your database was upgraded to Vantagepoint release 6.5.


My Stuff >> Approval Center

Defect 2024644: This issue occurred when an employee submitted a timesheet for approval, but the approver did not find the record lines in the Approval Center. Vantagepoint posted the timesheet even if it was not approved.


My Stuff >> Expense Report

Defect 2033193: This issue occurred if your company does not use a validator web service for Expense Reports in Settings » Workflow » Web Services. When you displayed an expense report on the Expense Reports form, duplicate line items were listed and you received this error message: "Ambiguous Results Found." In addition, when you saved a copied expense report or copied expense detail line item and the original expense report or detail line item had a validation error, the copy also had a validation error and duplicate expense detail line items were added to the expense report. This resolves a potential blocking issue that prevented users from logging into the application that displayed a "Timeout expired" message.

Defect 2038816: When you submitted an expense report in My Stuff » Expense Report, you received the following error message: "Approval Workflow not Started. Error saving application record details: Column: Employee does not exist." This issue occurred if you have QuickBooks Integration enabled.


My Stuff >> Reporting

Defect 1964967: When you configured the Asset Detail or Equipment List report and selected the Active option to filter search results, you received this error message: "Unable to cast object of type [XXX] to type [yyy]." This issue occurred when existing favorite reports were listed under the Asset or Equipment report type and you upgraded your database to Vantagepoint release 6.0 or 6.5.

Defect 1988495: When you ran the Labor Resource Planned and Actuals report for a single employee and did not select a project, Vantagepoint processed the report for all employees, which caused performance issues.

Defect 2026548: This error occurred when the Non-Billable Labor Code field was blank in Settings » Billings » Options and the selected project contained billable labor transactions. When you, on the Options tab of the Unbilled Detail and Aging Report, cleared the Non-billable Transactions checkbox, billable labor transactions did not display when you generated the report.

Defect 2032467: The Labor Resource Planned and Actuals report displayed incorrect data when you set the Format to Billing Amount or Cost Amount in the Options tab of the report options.


My Stuff >> Timesheet

Defect 2019550: The process that detected when a timesheet was missing approval item records was not adding the missing approval records.


Purchasing >> Purchase Orders

Defect 2021506: On the Line Items tab of the Purchase Order form, when you copied a purchase order that had values in both the Received Qty and Amount fields, if Vantagepoint did not clear the Received Amount, the copied PO displayed the same information as the original PO. As a result, you had to run a script to clear the amount.

.

Defect 2026957: No results were returned when you searched for purchase order records on the Purchase Orders form. This issue occurred if autonumbering was enabled for the Firms hub and you created a new vendor record when you added a new purchase order.


Purchasing >> Purchase Requisitions

Defect 2028377: If only one vendor was listed on the Default Vendors tab and you switched to list view, the vendor was not displayed in the Vendor Name column.

Settings >> Expense >> Alerts

Defect 2028694: This issue occurred when you did not select the Alert Employee Supervisor checkbox on the Past Due Credit Card Transactions dialog box. When you navigated to Utilities » Process Server » Queue Manager, selected AlertQueue, and submitted a Credit Card Past Due Alert Job, the job failed and you received an error message.


Settings >> Resource Planning >> Alerts

Defect 1857720: When you enabled the EAC Exceeds Baseline alert for multiple projects, you did not receive alerts in the Notification Center for projects that met the criteria you specified.


Settings >> Workflow >> Scheduled Workflows

Defect 2028766: When you added or updated a Conditions row for a scheduled workflow and opened the Expression Builder dialog box, PRSummary table columns were not accessible in the Field list.


Transaction Center >> AP Invoice Approvals

Defect 1980880: This issue occurred when an AP invoice approval workflow had an assigned approver from a different company and your role's record access to the workflow was set only for assignments. When you received a notification for a pending AP invoice approval, the AP Invoice Approvals form did not display records in detail view or list view.

Defect 2018785: This issue applies if you have multiple companies in Vantagepoint. On the AP Invoice Approvals form, the drop-down list in the AP Liability field did not have the correct values for the invoice's vendor. This issue occurred when you opened the AP Invoice Approvals form and then, on the Vantagepoint toolbar, selected a company that was different from the active company you logged in with.


User-Defined Fields

Defect 2035196: This issue occurred when you clicked an email address in a user-defined field that was a URL type field. Instead of opening Outlook, the domain of the email opened. For example, when you clicked <xxxxx>@anything.com in a user-defined field, it incorrectly launched a browser and opened anything.com.


Utilities >> Imports & Exports >> Imports

Defect 2018891: This issue occurred when you, in My Preferences, set the Date Format option to any value other than the US format (mm/dd/yyyy). On the Imports form, dates that used formats other than the US format were not imported from the Contacts or Firms hubs.
