Software Issues Resolved


Accounting >> Revenue Generation


Defect 989679: This issue occurred when you were using a database that did not use multicurrency and did not require transactions dates to be within the current fiscal year. If you set up options in Saved Options on the Revenue Generation form and then used those saved options, the transaction date for transaction entries incorrectly displayed as the date on which you saved the options.


Billing >> Batch Billing


Description 1289773: On the Invoice Creation tab of the Batch Billing form, if you selected options, clicked the Save Current Options link, and then ran a project search, the saved options were not displayed in the project search.


Billing >> Interactive Billing


Defect 1276838: When you downloaded an invoice for editing (Other Actions » Download for Editing on the Interactive Billing form) and edited the invoice using Microsoft Word or RTF, the Billing backup report and supporting documents were not included.


Defect 1293585: This issue applies if you log on to Vantagepoint using the Francais (Canadian), Francais (France), or Germany (German) language. In Interactive Billing, when you updated the dates in Billing Session Options for a project with unbilled transactions and you submitted an invoice for approval, the following occurred: The invoice preview in Draft Invoice Approvals showed the correct invoice dates, but the dates in the Billing Session Options now incorrectly showed a date that was a day earlier than what you originally entered.


Defect 1295790: In Interactive Billing, when you opened a project with unbilled transactions and you clicked Other Actions » Download to Edit, the Edit Invoice As field on the Edit Invoice dialog box incorrectly had a 1 instead of Rich Text Format (RTF) in the drop-down list.


Defect 1297222: This issue applies for projects with Percent Complete by Phase, as Fixed Amount selected as the Fee Method in Billing Terms when you use billing phases and categories and revenue categories. In Interactive Billing, after you accepted an invoice for the project, the Prior Fee Billing amount on the Fees tab was not updated with the invoice amount; it remained 0. The Current Fee amount should have displayed 0, but it incorrectly displayed the amount that you just billed. If you do not use revenue categories, the Prior Fee Billing amount was overstated, and the Current Fee amount was incorrectly updated as a negative amount.


Defect 1298237: When you attempted to print an invoice, you received an error message: "Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list."


Billing >> Invoice Approvals


Defect 1290603: When you, as an invoice submitter, made changes to an invoice in Interactive Billing, the changes were not reflected on draft invoices in Billing » Invoice Approvals. This problem occurred when you did the following:


Cash Management >> Bank Reconciliation

Cash Management >> Employee Payments


Defect 1282065: On the Employee Payments form, when you processed a payment run and an employee's expense total balance was negative, the employee was not displayed in the Employee Balances grid for the payment run. However, if you cross checked the employee's expenses by clicking Other Actions » Employee Ledger Report and then selecting the Unpaid Expense Reports check box in the Reporting Amounts section on the Options tab, you could see that there was an unpaid expense for that employee.


Defect 1291566: When you unposted a voided employee check, the voucher was not marked as paid in Expense Report and enabled for payment again in Employee Payments, as expected.


Cash Management >> Vendor Payments


Defect 1295877: When you selected a vendor with a large number of vouchers to pay and then, on the Select Voucher to Pay dialog box selected the check box to pay all the vouchers, you received a blocking or deadlock error.


General Ledger >> General Ledger Budget


Defect 1279975: On the Budget tab of the General Ledger Budget form, if you selected all the accounts in the Budget grid and then selected the Copy Amounts option in the Other Actions drop-down list, when you tried to copy the Income Statement or Balance Sheet into either a new or an existing General Ledger Budget, no amounts were displayed.

Defect 1278308: On the Overview tab of the Firms form, users without access rights to the Accounting module could not delete addresses for a firm record, even if the Accounting module was not installed.


Defect 1300973: In List View, if you had an Admin security role but no access to CRM, you were not able to select an existing firm. This occurred when the Available to option was set to CRM Users (and no other group) on the Overview tab in the Firms hub. In order to access these firms, you also had to be given access to CRM via role security.


Hubs >> Firms >> Voucher Review


Defect 1295450: On the Supporting Document dialog box of the Voucher Review form, attached supporting documents for voucher records were not displayed in the Associated Documents grid.

Defect 1279886: On the Columns and Groups tab, when you added Custom Budget and Custom Actual/ Budget fields to the Profit Planning Monitor report, no future accounting periods were displayed on the report. Instead, only the most recently opened accounting period was displayed.

When you changed the employee in the Employee field for the user record that did not have the Enable Cloud ODBC Connectivity check box selected, the original employee entered for the user record should still have had ODBC credentials, based on the other user record, which did have the Enable Cloud ODBC Connectivity check box selected.
