Projects

Project > Documents > Controlled documents. The project documents list will not time out if there are a large number of controlled documents, and will load the full list of uncontrolled and controlled documents.
Projects > Invoices > Credit reversals. When a discount type credit note is created, and then reversed, the 'percent complete' for the sub project is correctly reflected on the next invoice and within the project.
Projects > Invoices > Undo a credit note. It is no longer possible to undo a credit note reversal. This means if you create a discount type credit note, and then undo that credit note, that if you then decided you really wanted the discount credit note you will need to create it again.
Projects > Invoices > Duplicate invoices with the same number not allowed. In some cases in a multi office environment two users have been looking to save the same invoice number at the exact same time. Additional security has been added in this release to make sure that it is not possible to save two invoices with the same number, and that the second invoice attempted to be saved with the custom invoice number will receive an error.
Project > Details > Change offices. The pop-up to switch the office location for a project can now be used on high resolution devices.
Projects > Invoices > Sub project invoice pop-up. A fix has been added for high resolution devices, to ensure that the sub project pop-up for invoice creation remains in proportion when the next / previous buttons is clicked to view the next sub project.
Projects > Expenses (Office Items) > Search. When using the office item expenses search feature, you can now use the 'invoice date range controller on high definition devices.

Projects

Projects > Controlled documents > Extended recipients list. When saving emails as controlled documents to the Synergy project folders you can see the 'recipients' list in the documents tab of the projects. This column has been extended in the database to allow your people to have many clients or contacts in the TO field of an email message. In the documents tab if you hover over the column you can see the recipients list, and the details can also be seen in the email message preview.
Projects > Forecast > Completed sub projects. Forecasts can only be added for sub projects that are still open. Complete or unsuccessful sub projects cannot have a forecast added, or adjusted for any existing forecast figures. Completed sub projects have their forecast numbers greyed out in the forecast tab, and in the edit forecast pop-up for a sub project. A new filter has been added to the forecast tab to let you see all sub projects, or an option to exclude any sub projects that are complete or unsuccessful from the forecast tab.
Projects > Resource management > Report. Print a report to MS Excel® from the resource management area, which shows all of the items planned for all projects. These items are shown by project or by staff member, on different tabs in the MS Excel® file. The output includes the project names and numbers, sub project names, task, rate and rate hourly charge value, and number of hours per month that is scheduled. A template for this report is available, which allows you to edit the bookmarks shown and update the fonts and colours for the output as required.
Projects > Supplier Bills. The invoice contact drop down when creating a new bill has been updated to cater for larger contact lists. This will ensure that you can select a contact without first selecting a contact description to shorten the list.
Projects > Sub project tasks. Timesheet tasks that are setup as 'not utilised' in default data are shown in the project tasks tab with a red cross in the calendar icon. Utilised tasks are shown with a green mark in the calendar icon. The utilised setting is copied from what is setup by the System Administrator in Default data > Timesheet tasks. When the task is included in a sub project template, the utilised setting is copied in from the template.
Project contacts > Add new contact. When adding a new individual type contact on the project contacts tab, the individual contacts details for the fields classification and phone numbers are saved correctly.
Projects > Transactions > WIP transfer. The 'unallocated costs' sub project is not shown in the 'transfer to sub project' drop down list if all of the four 'unallocated costs' system setting options are switched off. If one of the 'unallocated costs' system settings options is turned on, then the unallocated costs sub project is shown in the drop down list.

MYOB AccountRight Live Connect > Supplier Bills. When using the MYOB ARL cloud company file supplier bills were found to be available to be synced again to MYOB, once in MYOB they were marked as paid. This was a result of the API change in MYOB for the 2016.2.2 release. This change is resolved in the 4.9.7 release.

Reports > Filtering by multiple attributes. When filtering a project report by more than one attribute, the report will display the results as expected and not return an error. The error previously appears only when the same attribute for the project had two filter rows included in the same report.
