Project Management
Improved Management of External Tax Codes
Deltek Tracking: 2266855
This usability enhancement allows you to update Tax Code 1, Tax Code 2, and Tax Code 3 at the invoice selection line level instead of itemized job entries. Changes made to these fields automatically apply to all job entries under the invoice selection line that are marked for invoicing.
Previously, tax codes for job entries had to be updated individually.
The new system parameter, Change Tax Code Summary on Invoice Selection Lines, controls whether these fields can be edited. By default, this parameter is disabled.- When Enabled:
- Workspace Client: The Tax Code fields can be edited in the Invoice Selection table, accessed via Jobs Workspace » Invoicing » Selection, Quantities.
- Web Client: The Tax Code fields can be edited in the Invoice Selection table, accessed via Jobs » Jobs » WIP Invoice » Invoice Selection.
- When Disabled:
- Attempts to edit these fields display an error message indicating that changes are not allowed.
Changes to MaconomyThe following areas are updated to support this functionality:- Web Client
- Setup » System Setup » System Parameters
- Reference Workspaces » Invoice Selection table
- Workspace Client
- Jobs » Invoicing » Selection, Quantities

Finance
Payments Workspace Enhancements
This release introduces a series of updates to the Payment workspace in the Maconomy Workspace Client, designed to improve workflows, enhance user experience, and offer greater control over payment approvals. Key updates include the implementation of approval hierarchies including integration with the Approval Center and Approvals workspaces, and enhanced terminology for clarity.
The new Payment workspace streamlines the process of creating, editing, and approving both payment selections and individual payments, allowing users to perform these tasks within a workspace. Approval hierarchies have been introduced, enabling multi-level approval structures based on payment amounts or other criteria. Notifications have been added to inform users of key actions, such as approval or rejection of payment selections. Terminology improvements, including the renaming of dialogs to address previous confusion for terms used in multiple contexts.
Enhancements to the payment selection process include the ability to create selections in batches or individually, as well as options to add or remove entries and adjust payment amounts directly within the selection dialog. The approval process now supports multi-approver workflows, with notifications sent at each step to keep users informed.
Approval management has been improved through the integration of payment selections into the Approval Center, allowing users to manage them alongside other approval types. Similarly, the Approvals Workspace now includes payment selection management, providing a more efficient way to handle multiple approvals within the Workspace client.
Additionally, users can now configure approval thresholds, similar to those used for purchase order approvals. These thresholds enable different levels of approval based on payment amounts, ensuring that larger payments are reviewed by higher-level approvers. -

Update to Touch Login Screen
Deltek Tracking: 2245676

- Use the Forgot Your Password? link on the login screen.
OR
- Contact your system administrator who will then clear the Maconomy Password Blocked checkbox in the Users workspace.
For Touch users on Maconomy 2.6.3 or later
If you are a blocked user, Touch will display the following error message when you try to log in: "The user is blocked. Contact a system administrator (username)."
- Contact your system administrator who will then clear the User Blocked checkbox in the Users workspace.
If you log in with incorrect credentials, Touch will display the following error message: "We could not log you in. You have either entered an incorrect username and password, or your account is temporarily blocked due to too many unsuccessful login attempts (username)."
- Log in with the correct credentials. In case Touch displays an error message indicating that you are a blocked user, you can ignore that and make another login attempt.
OR
- Use the Forgot Your Password? link on the login screen.

New Adjusted Absence in Load/Capacity Display View
Deltek Tracking: 2081647

Improved Visibility Settings for Capacity Pane
Deltek Tracking: 2310146
Two new settings are now available in the Admin Tool / Web Admin Tool to control how you display/hide the capacity pane in the Web Components. These include:
- Default visibility of Capacity Pane
- Default visibility of Capacity Pane in Assign Resource
You can choose to hide/display the capacity pane depending on the saved layout, or for it to be hidden or displayed by default when users open the Web Components.
These settings replace the Hide Capacity pane in Projects and Hide Capacity pane in Assign Resource settings.

This is now fixed.Defect: 2306483Web Client Error in Workspaces Containing Custom Popup Fields

Defect: 2307838 -
BPM and Statutory ReportingGermany - GoBD: Missing Data on VendorEntry.csv FilePreviously, the GoBD report's data export file, VendorEntry.csv, was missing some data due to a limitation related to the data extraction process that prevented the retrieval of date type fields from the database. This error is corrected.
Defect: 2310034Germany - GoBD: Missing Data on CompanyVendor.csv File
Previously, the GoBD report's data export file, CompanyVendor.csv, was missing some data due to a limitation related to the data extraction process that prevented the retrieval of date type fields from the database. This error is corrected.Defect: 2310035Sweden - Payment Time: Report Displayed Non-Swedish Companies
Previously, the Payment Time report's Summary tab displayed non-Swedish companies even when the Incl. Non-Swedish Companies field was set to No. This error is corrected by removing the Company Information (country) report filter in the Summary tab and replacing it with Vendor Company.Defect: 2306314Improved Performance View on SQL Server
The performance view, JOBENTRYJOBINVOICELINEPV, has been changed from an indexed view to an ordinary database view to improve performance on the SQL server.Defect: 2275110 -

This error is now corrected.Defect: 2058884Missing Validation for Approval Type NotificationsPreviously, notifications triggered after creating, rejecting, or approving an item were supposed to be based on the same source relation as the approval type. However, the validation to ensure this consistency was missing when creating an approval type notification. Currently, validation only occurs when a user changes the notification on the line. This error has now been corrected.Defect: 2289520String Concatenation Warnings from Dimension DerivationPreviously, MaconomyServer.log could issue repeated string concatenation warnings that occurred from dimension derivation of LM_SubstituteParameter. As part of correcting this, the error message you get when validating the allocation combination is now shorter only showing the dimensions derived. This shorter description should avoid the warning messages from appearing in the log.Defect: 2311877 -
System AdminPrevent CNF Files from Being Overwritten
Previously, the UpdateLog.cnf or RequestLog.cnf file from the APU installation replaced the existing file in the application directory. This error is corrected such that the file is not overwritten.

People PlannerResourceid Error in REST APIIn the People Planner REST API, an error would occur when you entered "resourceid" as the foreign key, then tried to enter a value for it in the request body. This error is corrected. The user should use "resourceid_resource" instead for the foreign key, or refer to the specification of assignments.Defect: 2113046Dynamic Booking Button ErrorAn error could occur wherein clicking the Dynamic Booking button would do nothing. This occurred on devices using Windows 11 and an Edge browser. The error is corrected and the Dynamic Booking dialog now appears upon clicking the button.
Defect: 2223830Project Import Error on Budget Lines with No Dates
The project import would fail with an exception when you imported a budget line with no dates on a job that had dates. This would occur when the Use Default End Date and Default End Date For Imported Projects settings were enabled, and you had entered an end date prior to the job start date. This error is corrected.
Defect: 2224854New Booking Customizations in Saved Layout
In the Resource Summary view, if you customized the columns and resized the dialog box for events in the New Booking dialog box, this was not saved as part of the layout. This error is corrected.

This error is corrected.Defect: 2305575New Booking Columns in Saved LayoutIn the Resource Summary view, if you adjusted the column widths in the New Booking dialog box, this was not saved as part of the layout. This error is corrected.
Defect: 2313652Data Limitation Becomes Null After Period of InactivityAn error occurred for users with an assigned data limitation. If the user left the Web Components open, after an hour of inactivity, the data limitation would no longer work. The user could view all information without restrictions in the Web Components. This error is corrected.
