Software Issues Resolved


Accounting >> Adjust Salaried Job Cost


Defect 1904567: On the Adjust Salaried Job Cost form, when you selected a posting in the grid and then selected Review Adjustments, only a few rows displayed in the grid of the Review Adjustments dialog box. You had to use the scroll bar to move past the blank space to see more rows in the grid.


Billing


Defect 1894251: This issue occurred if you use multiple languages in Vantagepoint. The format for the date in the Professional Services section on a billing invoice did not correctly use the date formatting determined by the Override regional settings fields on the Layout tab of the Invoice Template Editor form.


Billing >> Batch Billing


Defect 1914818: You experienced slow performance when you ran a large batch of billing invoices (5,000+ invoices).


Cash Management >> Vendor Payments


Defect 1858314: This issue occurred when multiple payments for the same vendor were in the same payment run and one of the payment amounts was negative. The vendor was paid correctly. However, the Payment Register report showed an incorrect amount for one of the payments. The net amount of all the vendor payments displayed, instead of the amount for the one vendor payment.


Defect 1914962: This issue occurred in Hubs » Firms » Voucher Review. On the Vendor Payment form, if you left the Payment Type field blank during Vendor Payment, the voucher showed a balance after you posted it.


Hubs >> Firms >> Firms


Defect 1914977: This issue occurred in the Firms hub when firms had aliases or alternate names. When you entered aliases in the search field to find a firm, Vantagepoint did not display matching records in the results.


Hubs >> Firms >> Voucher Review


Defect 1821097: In Voucher Review, when you edited the Billed Invoice Number field on an AP Disbursement that was entered using a credit card payment, you received this error message: "Code 9-98014 does not exist. The value for field BankCode will not be set."


Hubs >> Projects >> Billing Terms


Defect 1724681: This issue applies if you have multiple companies in Vantagepoint. The wrong tax codes were used for billing invoices. This issue occurred when a project's billing terms were already set up, tax codes were assigned to the project, and then you changed the project's company. The tax codes entered for the original company were incorrectly used for the project and its invoices instead of the tax codes for the new company.

Now when you change the company for a project and save the change, you receive a warning dialog box that tells you this change will invalidate some tax codes that are assigned in Billing Terms. If you select Yes to proceed with the change, the invalid tax codes are automatically removed in Billing Terms, and you must enter the correct tax codes in Billing Terms that apply for the new company assigned to the project.


Hubs >> Projects >> Contract Management


Defect 1909541: This issue occurred on the Contract tab of the Contract Management form when you updated the Contract Management and Contract Details grids.

Defect 1900867: In the Projects hub, when you clicked a field that displayed in a user-defined hub, you received an error message. However, you did not receive the same error when you selected the same field in the Firms hub. This issue occurred if the system administrator did not grant access rights to the user-defined hub for your role.


My Stuff >> Dashboards


Defect 1871368: This issue occurred for amount columns in dashparts with the project dashpart base, for project records with different project and billing currencies. When you configured the dashpart with a presentation currency, the values for affected amount columns were incorrect.

Defect 751168: On the Custom Search dialog box, when you clicked the Relative Dates option in the Timesheet Field and then selected the option to display timesheets in the last month, Vantagepoint did not display records from timesheet periods that contained dates in the last month but started or ended in a different month.


Defect 1869411: When you generated a billing invoice or timesheet report from an expense report, multi-line HTML descriptions displayed if you included expense comments or unit details in the expense report.


My Stuff >> Timesheet and My Stuff >> Reporting

Search


Defect 1892898: This issue occurred in Hubs » Projects » Plan on the Labor tab, when you applied  Employees Only to the Resource Type field for a saved search.
