The Touch Server for this version of the Deltek Vantagepoint mobile application has been upgraded to support PHP 7.4.11.

Defect 1335683: On the Approvals Review form in the desktop application, the Modification User and Create User fields in the Approvals Review grid did not display the user names. Instead, they displayed a long string of numbers and letters.

Defect 1344708: This issue occurred if you used the Create Invoices button when generating the Unbilled Detail and Aging report from the Batch Billing form. If you then viewed the report from the Invoice Archive tab, the numeric values in the columns of the report were left-justified instead of right-justified.

Defect 1352245: On the Expenses tab in Interactive Billing, when you tried to transfer a UN (unit) type transaction and on the Billing Expense Transfer dialog box you selected to transfer within the current phase and you changed the account number, you received the following error message: "You may not transfer to the same Phase."

Defect 1359081: The value of the Labor Code field on the Labor Tab of the Interactive Billing form displayed a comma. Vantagepoint treated the value as a number instead of as an identifier.

Defect 1361882: On the Invoice History tab of the Interactive Billing form, when you clicked Credit Memo and then, on the Credit Memo dialog box, clicked Yes or No to have the default credit amounts equal to the original invoice amounts, the opposite behavior occurred. Yes prefilled the credit memo amounts with zero. No prefilled the credit amounts with the original invoice amounts.

Defect 1377004: On the Labor, Expenses, and Units tabs on the Interactive Billing form, when you used the row selector check boxes to select and then change the billing status of transactions in the grid, the statuses did not save correctly if you continued to change more statuses.

Defect 1335503: On the Invoice Approvals form, when you clicked a row in the Invoices grid, it expanded the Comments field so that you could see the complete comments for an invoice. However, if the text in the Comments field displayed in more than one line, the row tools icon at the end of the each row became misaligned.

To fix this issue, the grid behavior was changed. The expanded comments no longer display automatically when you click a row in the Invoices grid. To view the complete comments for an invoice, click an invoice row in the grid and then do either of the following to open the Comment dialog box:

• In the Comments field, click the text, which is a hyperlink.

• On the actions bar for the Invoices grid, click Comment.

Defect 1363905: In Interactive Billing, when you voided an invoice, you received a "You do not have access" error when you tried to create a new transaction file for the void. No transaction file was created, but if you closed and reopened Interactive Billing, the invoice was removed from the Invoice History tab. This occurred when you tried to void invoices after the system-wide billing invoice approvals feature was turned off or after invoice approvals were turned off in a project's billing terms.

Defect 1252270: When you clicked Import Charges and then selected a file from a Mac computer, you received the following error message: "Conversion from string "32.92 Laura Sellors" to type 'Decimal' is not valid. (Field Name: Amount)".

However, the payment was correctly included in the processing run.

Defect 1366419: This issue applies if you use the Legacy Microsoft Edge browser (the new Chromium based Edge browser does not have this issue). When you viewed grids on forms or dialog boxes, the rows in the grid were sometimes misaligned on the left. This issue only occurred when you used the pin option for a column in the grid.

Defect 1341430: When you viewed the Activity List and copied an activity, the following errors occurred:

• The activity name for the copy did not include "Follow Up."

• In the Attendees field, the user who created the activity was not designated as the owner and you were not able to manually select the owner. Or, an attendee's name appeared twice, with one instance appearing as the owner.

• The date did not reflect the current date.

• When you saved the activity record, the page did not refresh immediately and you had to navigate to another page and return to the record to view it correctly.

This occurred for vendor-type firms that were consultant-type vendors, and for which the Approve for Use in Processing in <company name> check box was selected on the Vendor tab.

Defect 1355242: In certain cases, as you edited a project's structure on the Edit Project Structure form, Vantagepoint changed the capacity calculation setting for a work breakdown structure element to an invalid value. That invalid data, in turn, caused an "Invalid Capacity Calculation" error message when you tried to change the labor compensation amount on the Compensation tab of the Contract Management form.

Defect 1367438: This issue occurred intermittently for projects with a Percent Complete by Phase, as Fixed Amount fee method in their billing terms. On the Fees tab of the Billing Terms form, when you entered a whole number in the Percent Complete field in the Fee Billing Phases grid and then navigated away from the field, the whole number was changed to the same or different number with four decimal places. For example, if you entered 85, it was changed to 84.9999. This issue still occurs when you click the Edit action and switch to edit mode. This will be fixed in a future release.

Defect 1330110: This issue occurred when you used an existing single company database.

Defect 1342730: When you scrolled down the grid on the Check In Plans dialog box, the row items were not aligned correctly with the check boxes in the grid.

Defect 1349006: When the resource assignment alert was configured with a selected Assignee check box in the Show Alert To section of the Resource Assignment dialog box (Settings » Resource Planning » Alerts), and then an employee, that was not a project coordinator, assigned a resource to a project in the Labor tab of Hubs » Projects » Plan, the email alert that was sent to the assigned employee displayed the name of the project coordinator instead of the assignee.

Defect 1346587: When you created a new project by copying an existing one and the existing project included a lower-level work breakdown structure element (a phase, for example) with - - (two hyphens) as the WBS element number, you received the following error when you tried to save the new project: "The record you are trying to save has been updated by another user. In order to save your changes, you must re-select the record and make your changes again."
