Software Issues Resolved


Accounting >> Absence Accruals >> Absence Hours Accruals Processing


Defect 1279182: When you processed absence hours accrual through recurring scheduled processing runs, the affected timesheets remained unprocessed.


Asset Management >> Disposal Processing


Defect 1325514: This issue occurred when you selected Asset Management » Disposal Processing in the desktop application and then chose an asset to dispose. If you set the Disposal Type option to Scrapped, the resulting Asset Summary report displayed a gain amount instead of the correct loss amount for the scrapped asset.


Billing >> Interactive Billing


Defect 1330042: This issue occurred in projects (WBS1) that had phases (WBS2) and tasks (WBS3) defined in the work breakdown structure. On the Invoice Accept dialog box, when you entered a value in the Task field, the results were not filtered accordingly.


Defect 1333467: When you completed the following steps, the wrong transaction displayed on the Bill Labor Write-off dialog box that opened when you tried to write off a transaction in the Labor grid on the Labor tab in Interactive Billing:

  1. You selected a transaction in the grid, clicked Write-off, and wrote off a portion of the transaction.

  2. You cleared the Bill check box for the resulting two transactions involved in the writeoff.

  3. You sorted the contents of the Labor grid by date.

  4. You selected another transaction to write off that was located directly above or below the transactions for the previous writeoff, and then clicked Write-off.

The Bill Labor Write-off dialog box displayed information for the transaction that you previously selected to write off.


Defect 1334357: On the Labor or Expense tabs in Interactive Billing, when you tried to add or modify a labor or expense line in the grid, the Tax Code Override 1 and Tax Code Override 2 fields were grayed out on the Billing Labor Insert and Billing Expense Insert dialog boxes.


Defect 1343643: In Interactive Billing, a project's structure in the upper left corner of the form disappeared every time that you updated the fee on the Fees tab.


Cash Management >> Bank Reconciliation


Defect 1326675: The following occurred in the Payments grid on the Payments tab of the Bank Reconciliation form when you individually selected the Cleared check box for multiple payments: The second and subsequent payments that you cleared each had their Cleared check box automatically uncleared while Vantagepoint automatically saved the previously cleared payment. You then had to reselect the Cleared check box for each subsequent payment, which took significantly longer to complete.


Defect 1332030: When you imported bank transactions on the Bank Reconciliation form, the Import Records grid of the Import tab displayed the receipt and payment amounts for the imported transactions in the wrong columns. This issue occurred if, on the Import tab of the Banks form in Setting » Cash Management » Banks, you set the Define Receipt/Payment option to Receipts less than zero.


Cash Management >> Credit Card Reconciliation


Defect 1339320: The Import Statement dialog box, which displays when you create a new statement from the Credit Card Reconciliation form, was missing the last import with date and timestamp information in the lower left corner of the dialog box.


Cash Management >> Employee Payments

Defect 1337744: This issue occurred when the Approval Workflow was set up for expense reports in Settings » Expenses » Expense Approvals. In the Reporting application, if you first added detail lines and then deleted one or more of the detail lines from an expense report, the Approval records were not deleted. As a result, when you later opened the expense report from the Reporting application, added new detail lines, and then ran and saved the report, the newly added lines appeared as duplicate approval records that had the same sequence number as the previously deleted detail lines.
