Changes to Prevent an Out-of-Balance Posting of Expense Reports

When you post or schedule to post expense reports in Transaction Center » Time and Expense Posting, Vantagepoint now includes a validation check at the end of posting expense reports to ensure that the entire expense report posting batch is balanced. If the entire expense report posting batch is not balanced, it will be marked with an incomplete status on the Posting Review form in the Transaction Center and in Utilities » Transactions » Incomplete Postings.

Changes to Expense Reports That are Scheduled for Posting

The changes below are designed to improve the scheduling of expense reports for posting.

• Checks When Scheduling To Post: When you schedule an expense report for posting, Vantagepoint now checks to see if the expense report is already scheduled to be posted before allowing you to proceed with the task. Vantagepoint also checks for any scheduled process server job that includes the expense report and if the process server job is yet to be completed. If the expense report is already scheduled to be posted, or is included in a process server job that is yet to be completed, Vantagepoint displays an error message if you try to schedule the same expense report for posting. The error message details the following information:

  • Name of the expense report

  • Employee ID of the creator of the expense report

  • The date specified in the expense report

• Default Value of the Description Field: When you schedule an expense report for posting in Transaction Center » Time and Expense Posting, Vantagepoint now prefills the Description field on the Schedule Dialog box with TransactionPosting/PostExpenseReportsPosting. You can change this default value, to clearly describe the process server job. The default value of the Description field still displays in the following areas:

  • In the Queue Processes grid in Utilities » Process Server » Queue Manager

  • On the Notification Center dialog box and the Notification Details dialog box

Defect 2170734: This issue applies for projects with multiple work breakdown structure levels. On the Invoice Accept dialog box, when you clicked + Add Project Detail, the WBS level 3 (Task) field was not enabled in the Project Detail grid on the dialog box.

Defect 2171502: This issue occurred In dashparts with the employee dashpart base when here were two employee records with the same employee name, and one was active while the other one was terminated. The displayed value in the Standard Hours column for the active employee record was incorrectly based on the employee record of the terminated employee. 

Defect 2179404: When you created a new employee record, or modified an existing one, and then selected the Approved for Use in Processing option on the Accounting tab, you received an "Organization is Required" error message. This issue occurred even when you did not set up organizations in Settings » Organization on the desktop application.

Defect 2177343: On the Summary pane of the Plan form, when you set the Show option to Billing and clicked the JTD hyperlink under Project Details, the Consultants row did not display on the Job-to-Date pop-up. This error occurred when you set the Enable Consultant Planning option to Yes and set the Enable Unit Planning option to No in Settings » Resource Planning » Plan Settings.

Defect 2167450: When you edited fields at the WBS2 or WBS3 level on a user-defined grid marked as required at the WBS1 level only, you received the following error message: "At Least One Row is Required."

Defect 2180473: When you hovered over a user-defined contact or firm type field, it incorrectly displayed details from the previous hub record.

Defect 2183098: When you created a saved search and used the between (=) operator for a search filter in the Projects hub, you received the following error message: "Unexpected character encountered while parsing number: T. Path '', line 1, position 10."

Defect 2176701: If you set the Date Format in My Preferences to Date-Month-Year and you attempted to export job-to-date (JTD) labor hours in comma-separated values (CSV) or Excel format, you received this error message: "Conversion from string "DD/MM/YYYY" to type 'Date' is not valid."

Defect 2177345: When you exported job-to-date (JTD) billing data to Excel, the date stamps for every entry for all projects were off by one day in the exported file.

Defect 2153200: Vantagepoint allowed you to post an expense report that resulted in unbalanced amounts in generated reports such as the Trial Balance report and General Ledger Posting Summary report.

Defect 2172608: On the Options tab for the Expense Detail report, you could not set the Report At option to Cost. This issue occurred when, on the Accounting tab of the Roles form in Settings » Security » Roles, the Labor Cost Rates/Amounts option was set to No Access for your role.

Defect 2178317: On the Actions bar of the Reporting form, when you selected Other Actions > Schedule and selected the Email Me When Done checkbox, the subject of the generated email was "[Product Name] : Completed Jobs" instead of "Deltek Vantagepoint : Completed Jobs."

Defect 2189261: When you disabled the Accounting role type in Role Settings, the ETC Revenue and Forecast Data column in the Project Forecast Report was blank.

Defect 2193045: This issue applies if you are a cloud customer or you set up an entry in the Vantagepoint Weblink utility for an alternate database for reporting. All reports use a single shared data source for the transaction database and a single shared data source for the alternate database for reporting. These shared data sources should get created only once, if they do not already exist. The shared data sources were incorrectly recreated on every report run, and if multiple users were running reports at the same time, it sometimes caused the report server to crash.

Defect 2166070: When you ran the Form 941 Worksheet report, there were differences between the Gross Pay and FICA Wages amounts. This issue occurred when you processed a bonus payroll run and you selected the Net to Gross checkbox.

Defect 2177340: This issue occurred when you entered blanket type purchase orders, and the Modify Not to Exceed Values via Change Order checkbox was selected on the General tab in Settings » Purchasing & Inventory » Company, in the desktop application. On the General tab of the Purchase Orders form, when you entered multiple change orders to change a purchase order’s original not-to-exceed amount, Vantagepoint incorrectly recalculated the not-to-exceed amount that is used for the subsequent releases of the purchase order. It should have added the not-to-exceed amounts from all the change orders to the original not-to-exceed amount. Instead, it incorrectly added only the not-to-exceed amount from the last change order to the original not-to-exceed amount.

Defect 2163451: This issue applies if you use an alternate reporting database. When you ran the resource management report at a weekly scale, you received the following error message: "The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value."

Defect 2178242: This defect applies for databases that have multiple companies. When you changed the active company in an AP Invoice Approvals record and then clicked Save, Vantagepoint did not seem to respond.

On the AP Invoice Approvals form, when you clicked + Upload AP Invoice, you received the following error message: "String reference not set to an instance of a String. Parameter name: s." This issue occurred if the AP invoice that you uploaded did not have an invoice date.
