Software Issues Resolved


Billing >> Batch Billing


Defect 1750204: On the Invoice Creation tab of the Batch Billing form, when you selected the Use Default Terms for Draft Invoices checkbox and then clicked the Create Invoices action to start processing invoices, the Batch Billing run failed and you received an "incorrect syntax" error message.


Billing >> Interactive Billing

Hubs

These columns are now populated as part of an audit trail, to track the people who create or update saved searches and report favorites.

Hubs >> Contacts >> Contacts


Defect 1737681: This issue occurred if you added or edited a phone number on the Contact Information dialog box in the Contacts hub. When you selected a Phone format in the Phone field, the field displayed as blank instead of listing the phone number.

Hubs >> Projects >> Invoices


Defect 1488680: This issue occurred for invoices that you posted, voided, and reissued with the same invoice number but a different invoice date. On the Invoices form in Hubs » Projects » Invoices, the Days Out column in the Invoices grid incorrectly used the original invoice's invoice date. The Aged Accounts Receivable graph on the form correctly used the reissued invoice's date.


Hubs >> Projects >> Project


Defect 1696658: Employees or Contacts with the same role were displayed multiple times in the Team Members grid of the Team tab. This issue occurred when you performed this sequence of steps:

  1. You entered the same employee or contact multiple times in the grid, but assigned each line item a different role. 

  2. You changed the employee's role or contact's role to match an existing role for the same employee or contact in the grid.


Defect 1727945: This issue occurred when you created and saved a phase or task record in the Projects hub and then deleted the record. If you then used Utilities » Key Conversions » Tasks » Change Number to change a different phase or task number to be the same as the number for the deleted record, you received an error message.


Defect 1746200: When you created a new project, you received this error message: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'BTPK'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.BT'"

This issue occurred when you created a project with the following conditions:


Defect 1746491: When you entered text in a drop-down field to search for an existing item in the field, you received the following error message: "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'." This issue occurred in various drop-down fields throughout Vantagepoint. For example, this issue occurred in the Projects hub on the Teams tab when you clicked + Add Firm below the Firms grid and started typing text in the Name field.


Login


Defect 1755693: When you tried to log in to Vantagepoint using a database that had no employee records, you received an error message saying that you did not have access to any companies and you were prevented from logging in successfully.

Defect 1740129: This issue occurred for table dashparts with the project dashpart base, if you had the following settings:

All regular hours for a transaction date were displayed under one employee record.


Defect 1740818: When you configured the Employee Utilization predefined dashboard with a fiscal period date range, the value displayed in the Direct/Standard Hours column did not match the end date of the selected fiscal period.


My Stuff >> Reporting


Defect 1721697: When you specified starting and ending dates in the Time Frame Options section of the AR Comments report, Vantagepoint did not display any records in the generated report.


Defect 1723715: When you opened a Labor Resource Forecast report, updated the Format field on the Options tab, removed some default columns, and used the Save As option to generate a new report, the removed columns were still included in the new report.

My Stuff >> Timesheet


Defect 1730330: When you modified the steps for Timesheet Approvals in Settings » Workflow » Approval Workflows in the desktop application, Vantagepoint reset the status of the timesheets on the Approval Center form. This issue occurred when the timesheets had no hours and were automatically approved.


Payroll >> Export to Pay Interface


Defect 1739074: You were able to add a copy of a line on the Hours or Earnings tab and did not receive an error message. When you exported Vantagepoint timesheet data, the amount for the line item was doubled.

Settings >> Rate Tables >> Billing Labor Categories


Defect 1755926: When you deleted an employee from the Employee Overrides grid on the Billing Labor Category Tables form in Settings » Rate Tables » Billing Labor Categories, you received a "Rate Table was successfully saved" message.
