Version 9.1.0.1 Teal - November 1, 2013

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

•ENHANCEMENT - The Accounts Payable Properties Screen contains a new setting to 'Limit Accounts Payable Invoice Entries to Open Jobs ONLY'.  If this option is enabled, and the job field is chosen on an invoice entry screen, the system will only display the list of current jobs or allow only a current job number to be entered into the field.  This setting will affect all a/p entries including Subcontractor Payment Sheets, a/p handwritten checks that expense items on the fly, and Purchase Order / Subcontract Order forms.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE        

•CORRECTION - The 'Customer' option on the T&M Billing Screen didn't allow you to select a job number.  This option allows you to see the jobs in order by the “Bill To” customer name instead of the job number or job description order.  This has been fixed in this update.  

•ENHANCEMENT - The units for payroll hours are now included in the new T&M Invoice Format (ARINV3.121) for cost phases that are set up to include the detail transactions.  Previously the units were not being included in the invoice data pipe.  This format will also now show a footed subtotal for each cost phase.

MY ACCUBUILD REPORTS

•ENHANCEMENT - The data pipe for the MAR Union Reports were updated to include the job number field so that custom reports can be designed to filter out employees on selected jobs and / or include the job information on the union reports if required.  These changes were made for the MAR Report Class 616.

PAYROLL

•ENHANCEMENT - The system now allows employees that are set up with the pay type 'Salaried - Distributed Hours' to be entered through AB Mobile and/or the Time Card Worksheet Screen.  Previously, employees with this pay type had to be entered solely through the time card batch screen.  Now, once the time cards are imported from the worksheet into the batch, the system will automatically pro-rate the salary amount against all time card entries for the employee based on the hours that were distributed using the average cost per hour.  This method ensures that a fixed salary amount will always be paid to the employee, regardless of the number of hours that were recorded for the employee.   Note: There is no need to edit the time card to click the 'Distribute' button; this system will do the calculation automatically on these imported records.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

•CORRECTION - The automatic numbering feature for category specific change order numbers had a bug when more than one category was included in the Change Order Request. The numbering process occurs when closed CORs are attached to a Change Order.  This bug was causing the Category CO Number field to be sequenced incorrectly. The previous work around was to edit this field after attaching the CORs to the associated Change Order (CO).  The problem has been corrected and the now the Category CO Number will be numbered sequentially for the individual category change order number.  If you have any CORs where the Category CO Number is wrong, be sure to edit the numbers going forward if you are using this field and depend on this sequence number field.
