Defect 2033167: In the desktop application, no asset item was created when you processed the purchase order record in Transaction Center » Create Voucher from PO.

In Settings » Organization » General, you cleared the Maintain Separate Balance Sheets by Organization checkbox.
In Settings » Asset Management, under the Asset Item Source section, you selected the Purchase Order checkbox.
Defect 2028320: This issue occurred when you, on the Charges tab of the Credit Card Reconciliation form, created a cash-basis journal entry for multiple charges that were charged to different secondary accounts.

This issue occurred even if you set the Use Files to Group Transactions option to No in Settings » Accounting » Transactions.
Defect 2094114: This issue occurred if you have more than 1,000 projects. You experienced slowness in the Projects hub and Interactive Billing when you ran resource planning reports or some project reports for which you set the Budget Source option to Project Planning Budget on the report's Options tab.

Defect 2078189: This issue occurred when you suspended AP invoice approvals and then updated the Approval Workflow for AP invoice approvals (Settings » Workflow » Approval Workflow in the desktop application). The suspended AP invoice approvals were not restarted at the first step of the approval workflow and could not be resumed.
Defect 2063974: This issue occurred when you added a new invoice to an invoice file that is associated with a project that has a credit memo. When you clicked +New Invoice, an empty white page was displayed instead of the editable Invoice form.

15 March 2024 Software Enhancements
Adaptive Sync Session Interval Calculation: This new feature provides a recurrent background two-way data exchange between your email account (on an MS Exchange, Office 365, or Gmail server) and Vantagepoint. The sync sessions are automatic and provide data mirroring between your email/calendar items and ttheir matching Vantagepoint objects. The synchronization uses an adaptive technology that determines the frequency of occurrence, depending on your work practices and how often you are actively changing data.
15 March 2024 Software Issues Resolved
VNTGPNT-1854: OAuth impersonation is now supported. The maximum security 0365 OAuth 2.0 is now used as the only method for Exchange Impersonation service accounts data access authorizing for Office 365 mailboxes. All existing customers who use such impersonation accounts must re-authorize access using 0365 OAuth. This switch is required because the former impersonated access authorization method with login and password credentials entry was disabled by Microsoft in 2021. Please refer to https://revenuegrid.atlassian.net/browse/SFCC-15766 for more details.
VNTGPNT-1957: The Connect Add-In reloaded when there was a failure of office js. After reloading, the following warning displayed: Add-In was reloaded due to fail of Microsoft service.
VNTGPNT-2025: In Vantagepoint, the Filestream File Size can be set to a maximum of 50MB but in the Connect Add-In, current product logic limited the maximum size of the attachment to 5MB. When synchronizing with the Connect Add-In, a Service Attachment MaxSize warning displayed. Deltek requested the ability to control the logic for the Vantagepoint Connect Add-In so the file size can be set to a maximum of 50MB.
VNTGPNT-1837: In the Connect Add-In, when you selected an email that included employees, and then selected the employee card and clicked Employee Details, the Cost Method field was displayed and required. When employee details were then edited, an error occurred because the Cost Method field should not have been displayed because it is not available in the Vantagepoint application. There were also Accounting fields that displayed as available that should have been disabled.
VNTGPNT-1915: In the Connect Add-In, if you selected an email that had contacts with associated projects, and you clicked the Project Details button, the Project Details dialog displayed Accounting fields even though Accounting fields should not display on the Project Details screen.
VNTGPNT-1954: In the Connect Add-In, when a new contact was created and a firm was specified, the State for the contact firm’s address was incorrect and did not match the State that was specified in the Vantagepoint application.
VNTGPNT-1971: An Http Status Code was BadRequest but Expected Created issue occurred due to incorrect processing of the Project ID during synchronization.

VNTGPNT-2015: In the Connect Add-In, when you created a new contact record, you were incorrectly required to associate a Firm/Client.
VNTGPNT-2023: In the Connect Add-In, some recurrent events were losing the Vantagepoint categories after being synchronized, even though the corresponding recurring events were still present in the Vantagepoint application.
