Welcome to the Deltek Vantagepoint 3.5.9.3 Release Notes, which describe the new features and enhancements introduced in this release.

These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Vantagepoint 3.5, some of which your firm may not use. Skip the sections that do not apply to your implementation of Deltek Vantagepoint.


Enhancements


Billing >> Batch Billing


Custom Report Printed with Invoice

While using Batch Billing, you can now print a custom report as part of the batch billing process. When a custom report is found in a client’s custom folder, a Print Custom Report check box becomes available. Select this check box to print the custom report along with the invoice. (This report is in addition to the standard Unbilled Detail report.)


My Stuff >> Reporting


Ability to Stop Report Query from Running on a Database Server

Vantagepoint Reporting has been enhanced to reduce CPU spikes and limited bandwidth, and to address other performance issues that occurred when running reports. Previously, when you ran a report query and then closed it before the query was complete, the report continued to run on the SQL database server. Now, you when you close a report query in the Vantagepoint Reporting application, the query is also cancelled on the database server.

To close a report query in Vantagepoint Reporting and to stop the report from running on the report's database server, close the report’s Preview window.


Software Issues Resolved


Hubs >> User-Defined


Defect 1460955: When you tried to delete an attachment in a user-defined hub, you received the following error message: "Column UDIC_UID not found in FW_ATTACHMENTS". This issue occurred when your role had record level view restrictions to the user-defined hub, even when your access rights were set to Full on the Record Access tab in Settings » Security » Roles.


My Stuff >> Reporting


Defect 1460474: Planning reports and project reports with planning data should have been using the Vantagepoint transaction database when the read-only report database was enabled.


Defect 1462675: This issue occurred on the Income Statement and Consolidated Income Statement reports, when you added a calculated field to the reports. You received a SQL Reporting error if you set up the field calculation to be performed on each row from the query. 


My Stuff >> Reporting >> Billing


Defect 1467308: You received “An error has occurred” when you ran a custom report. This occurred if you added a project data type field or an option that was an account, role, or unit lookup on the Custom Options tab for the custom report in Settings » General » Custom Report Option


My Stuff >> Reporting >> General Ledger


Defect 1456809: When Organizations were not in use, running the Income Statement and Profit Planning reports resulted in blank reports.


Purchasing >> Purchase Orders


Defect 1460464: Payment terms entered in the Pay Terms field on the Billing tab of the Purchase Orders form that were numeric, such as 30 or 60, were missing. Other, non-numeric payment terms, such as Date, Next, PWP, and Hold, were not affected. This occurred after you upgraded to Vantagepoint 3.5.8.


Settings >> Rate Tables


Defect 1467309: When a Billing rate table had a large number of rows in the grid and you used the scroll bar to scroll down the grid, the screen kept on scrolling up and down on its own.


Transaction Center >> AP Invoice Approvals


Defect 1459756: When you tried to upload a new invoice in AP Invoice Approvals, nothing happened and the new record for the approval did not display on the AP Invoice Approvals screen.


Known Issues

Defect 1461035: Some saved searches were returning incorrect results after you upgraded to Vantagepoint version 3.5.8. This issue has been fixed for new upgrades from 3.5.7 to 3.5.8 or later releases. However, if you have already upgraded to 3.5.8 or later, use the following information to correct an affected saved search.

The issue is limited to searches that include multiple selections with a drop-down or look-up field and are behaving as more restrictive than when originally created. Ad hoc searches, such as searches applied in Search and Replace, may also be impacted.

If you are experiencing this behavior and require an immediate fix, perform the following steps for the affected search:

  1. Open the application for the saved search.

  2. Click the search list, hover over the saved search, and click the pencil icon to edit it.

  3. Click Save Options.

  4. Click Save.

  5. Click Apply All. The search results will be updated to the correct results.
