AR

Enhancements

Enhancement

Reference

The following improvements have been implemented to minimize the frequency of calls made to the Avalara Integration:   Change to use SalesOrder for quotes   Before a bill is saved the doc type is set to Sales Order in Avalara (which effectively just calculates tax) so that the transaction is not stored in Avalara after every edit.  This type of call incurs less cost to the client. No longer void and create....use createoradjust instead   When the bill is saved the doc type of Sales Invoice is used with a CreateofAdjust call meaning the same transaction in Avalara is simply updated if the bill amount has changed since the last save. This eliminates the need for lots of Creating and Voiding after every bill edit and again reduces the number of calls to Avalara the client had to pay for.   This also means there is less history in the Avalara database of lots of voided transactions. Voids are still used when undoing a bill , creating a credit note and overriding the tax to be zero and when reversing approved bills.   All other calls remain unchanged and functionality is identical.

Fixes

Bug Fix	Reference
There was an issue where successive allocations on an AR record (e.g. receipt) would corrupt the record type of any discount created during a prior allocation. This has been fixed.	23982
There was an issue with incorrect values in combined cross-currency and cross-client/entity allocations. The following issues have now been fixed:   The currency portion of a transfer was being written with the wrong sign to the working tables. The exchange difference was not being accounted for in the transfer, resulting in a second discount being generated against the original receipt. The exchange difference record on a transfer was not being approved. When a cross-entity transfer is multi-currency, allocation is not populated to the RAH for the contra, which means that on approval, currency amounts on the contra and receipt can remain in draft. When working with highly devalued currencies (e.g. Yen), fractional discounts when the functional currency is of stronger value can result in a 0 discount in functional. In this situation, the discount split was not being written.	23959

 

Billing

Fixes

Bug Fix	Reference
There was an issue where users were unable to send an email without at least one recipient or attachment. This has now been fixed.	24012
There was an issue where the second contact displayed 'for the attention of' section of the Invoice/Bill was not cleared for the next bill resulting in some invoices displaying contacts that were not related. This has now been fixed.	23989
There were performance issues encountered when billing Jobs with no WIP, including slowness when adding Jobs; editing Job bill amounts and allocations; and both editing and saving the bill. The performance was negatively impacted as more jobs (without WIP) were added the bill. This has now been fixed.	23950

Scheduling

Fixes

Bug Fix	Reference
User experienced delays of approximately 15 seconds when refreshing Schedule Wallcharts especially when there were large number of bookings displayed (e.g. 5000 bookings). Optimizations have now been made to the Refresh process of the Schedule Wallchart.	23968

Time and Expenses

Fixes

Bug Fix	Reference
In Time & Expenses entry, the stage field dropdown was displayed in a random order. This has been updated to use the Stages sort order to ensure that the dropdown is organized and easier to navigate.	23882
