NOTE: When users select records with the same division code when running ARREIN, if records with multiple division codes are selected, the system defaults to the selection text of the first division code it encounters. This issue will be addressed in future enhancements.

BPF-89533

Admin Console

Admin Console – Job Manager: Users can now consistently open documents in Admin Console – Job Manager and Documents Online through both direct Web and Citrix access. Previously, users encountered the following error, ‘Absolute path information is required’ when attempting to open documents only in Citrix server.

Citrix Server Configuration:
For Citrix environments, document caching must be disabled. This can be achieved by modifying the Windows Registry at the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\BiTech\IMAGE

Create a new String Value named CacheDocuments and set its value to NO.

BusinessPlus (7i Web Server) Configuration:
In BusinessPlus, document caching is enabled by default. If a customer wishes to disable this feature, they can do so by updating the common code:

  • Code Catergory: DOC

  • Code Value: CACHED

  • Short Description: NO

Recommendation: We advise keeping document caching enabled to maintain optimal application performance.

BPF-90339

Payroll

PYPAFC: When the History Amount or Payment Amount exceeds $21,474.80, the system converts it to a negative value due to a limit in its design. This overflow causes the negative value to appear on the PYUPPH screen. The solution is to increase the limit for the Amount 01 to Amount 15 fields in the Check Details of Employee Paid/Unpaid History.

BPF-90662

Payroll

PYREML: The Total Pay field to support up to three million-digit places. The report now accurately displays total pay amounts up to 999,999,999 (nine hundred ninety-nine million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine). Previously, in the report, the Total Pay field was limited to two million-digit places, restricting the maximum displayable amount to below 100 million. As a result, values exceeding this limit were truncated or displayed incorrectly (e.g., a total pay of 214 million appeared as 14 million).

Types of Validation Implemented:

  • Type-Specific Object Validation: If a key/object combination allows only AS type objects, users will receive an error message when attempting to enter objects of other types (e.g., RV) in POUPPP. The error message will read- Key cannot be paired with objects of type RV.

  • Subsystem-Specific Object Validation: If an object is not allowed in AP/PO subsystems, users will receive an error message when attempting to enter these combinations in POUPPP. The error message will read- Use of object is not allowed in subsystem PO.

BPF-90329

Purchasing

POUPPR: During data entry in POUPPP, when a user selects a Ship To ID (same as Vendor ID) from the lookup that is not in the hierarchy and proceeds to checkout, the selected address code is now retained in POUPPR after redirection. Previously, the selected address code was not retained in POUPPR.

Note: This fix is applicable only when the Ship To ID selected is the same as the Vendor ID in POUPPP.

BPF-89661

Purchasing

POUPPR: The system now retains the manually selected vendor address code, ensuring it does not revert to the address hierarchy.  Previously, when using the vendor lookup feature in the POUPPR screen, the selected vendor address code reverted to the hierarchy from POAH/ADDRESS after returning to the POUPPR screen.

BPF-88705
