Defect 1974013: When you specified an amount in a detail line in the Contract Management grid and clicked Save, the total amount in the Contract field in the Summary pane incorrectly included that detail line amount before you clicked the Include in Fees checkbox.

"An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database. System.Exception: For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors."
Defect 1962177: This issue occurred when you, on the Vendor tab of the Firms form, did not select the Approved for Use in Processing checkbox for the active company but did select it for another company.

Defect 1962958: This issue applies if you use multiple companies.

Billing Labor Rates
Billing Labor Categories
Billing Labor Overrides
Cost/Pay Labor Rates
When you added an employee to the affected rate tables, the role based employee record restriction was applied to the New Employee Search dialog box. As a result, the dialog box did not display all employee records (as it should have).
Defect 1973268: This issue occurred for both user-initiated and scheduled workflows when you set up an email alert action on the Email Configuration dialog box. The EmployeePhoto column was incorrectly available on the Insert Field dialog box.

Defect 1967670: This issue occurred when you edited an AP Invoice Approval record with multiple charge distributions in the Project Information grid. If you changed the value of the Total Tax Amount field for one of the line items, the value of the Invoice Amount field was incorrectly updated to match the total amount of the modified line item.
Defect 1968373: On the AP Invoice Approvals form, after you uploaded an AP invoice, entered information for the invoice, and clicked Save, it did not save. When you clicked Submit, all the information that you had entered for the invoice was gone.
This issue occurred when you did the following on the AP Invoice Approvals form:
In the Invoice Information section, you made an entry in the Route To and Employee fields.
In the Project Information section, you added a project and entered an asset account and amount for it.
Defect 1644284: The Vantagepoint Connect add-in did not display the correct system label for Firms.
Defect 1932108: This issue applies if you use QuickBooks integration with Vantagepoint. The Error Logs tab of the QuickBooks form displayed two processed transactions of the same posted timesheet record, which doubled the hours of the employee's payroll record in QuickBooks.
Defect 1948807: This issue occurred on the Custom Reports tab of the Report Server form in the desktop application when there was a large number of archived invoices in the database. When you, in the Load Custom Reports grid, uploaded an RDL file, set Location to Invoice, and saved, you received an error message.
