Release date, on-premises: February 04, 2024

Fob version: 25.02.02

Bug Fixes

Functional AreaDescriptionId
General ApplicationWhen creating new documents from the Customer Card > New Document menu, the Output Profiles field was occasionally left unfilled. This issue has been addressed by implementing a fallback mechanism. Now, if the Output Profile is not specified on a document, it will automatically default to the Output Profile set in the Customer table.62689
General ApplicationOn the Unhandled Posted Service Invoices, Unhandled Posted Service Shipments, and Unhandled Posted Service Credit Memos pages, setting a filter on the Handled field did not apply the filter correctly.
This issue occurred when users attempted to filter records based on the Handled status, expecting to view only those entries that matched the specified criteria. However, the filter was not applied, resulting in the display of all records regardless of their Handled status.
The filtering functionality has been corrected to ensure that when a filter is set on the Handled field, only records that meet the specified criteria are displayed. This allows users to effectively manage and review service documents based on their handling status.
63179
General ApplicationThe Output Profile was incorrectly assigned when posting an invoice document from an order. This issue occurred under specific circumstances where the system failed to recognize the correct profile settings.
The logic for assigning the Output Profile during the invoice posting process has been corrected. Now, when you post an invoice from an order, the system accurately assigns the appropriate Output Profile based on the predefined settings.
This fix ensures that the correct Output Profile is consistently applied, preventing potential mismatches and ensuring seamless document processing.
