Version 24.01

GENERAL

Resource Console / Reminder Notifications behavior has changed since previous version. Upon creation of Dispatch, Opportunity, and Task schedules (and Assignments), the Reminder will default the Popup flag to ON. Exception: tasks will not default to ON if the parent task is flagged “Hide from RC.” UR60662407
Resource Console speed improvements may impact customs due to changes to #scheduleitems temp table. UR69526948

ACCOUNTING

It is no longer possible to reverse deposit entries on Vouchers and Invoices. UR63799247
In order to support a growing number of clients that wish to submit VAT through Q360, the process now utilizes a proxy method when granting Q360 permission to submit VAT information. Customers wishing to submit VAT through Q360 must ensure their server can access “https://www.w360.solutions360.com/hmrcVatProxy/hmrcvat_proxy.php.” UR45481292
Expense posting no longer includes tax in the ledger entry. UR56242134
Check printing using the MICR-B font: unless Q360 hosts your website, you are required to purchase the MICR font for your server for the Account / Routing Numbers to display properly. UR43234646

Output column date_time has been changed to StartDate in LDView_Timebill. When upgrading to this build, all existing LD reports that reference the retired column name must be updated to reflect this core change. UR68900454

INVENTORY

PROJECTS

Resource Console speed improvements may affect customs due to change to #scheduleitems temp table. UR69526948

SALES

Contact List Import process has been improved. Any existing import templates will need to be updated. User may update their template by going to Maintenance > Import Map Builder and selecting the Standard Contact List Template, and then using the Extended Menu to “Download Template.” Pre-existing “Standard” templates will not work and will need to be updated. UR61073525

Deprecated

Accounting > Accounts Receivable > Invoices. Users no longer have the ability to dictate sequence order of Line Items when printing, either by dragging or changing the Seq No. value manually. This feature has been removed. This was done to remove accidental grouping of items that mimicked Sections as Section functionality does not exist on Invoices. UR85886953

Added:

BUDGETMENU (view): Allows user to see Delete button on Define Budgets screen. UR63793715

HTTPREQUEST_TIMEOUT: ConfigValue1 is the number of seconds before an HTTP_Request from the SQL CLR will timeout. Default Value is 1200 seconds.
