250.0.5

Issues Resolved New Features Hot Fix Enhancements
New Features
  • [#14474] Introduced the new `Timesheet Enquiry` feature, allowing users to easily review and analyse detailed timesheet history. Users can now drill down into individual records to view `Date`, `User`, `Type`, and `Description` details. This enhancement is accessible from both the `Timesheet Enquiry` and `All Costs` screens, streamlining timesheet management and improving visibility into work history.
  • [#13111] The booking process has been completely rewritten, introducing new methods for handling both full and part bookings on works orders. This update adds the ability to part-unbook, making it easier to manage changes and corrections. The new process supports manual booking, backflush, webAPI, barcoding handheld, and SFDC, while maintaining compatibility for existing works orders. Future updates will further streamline the codebase by removing legacy methods once all scenarios are covered.
Issues Resolved
  • [#16409] Fixed an issue where timesheets could be imported into closed `Projects` by ensuring project closure rules are validated during the validation step rather than at import.
  • [#16894] Resolved an error that occurred when closing the `Import Purchase Transactions (With Projects)` form after editing data, ensuring smoother import workflows across all `Sicon Projects` imports.
  • [#16833] Fixed an issue where the `Manning Level` on operation labour resources did not multiply the estimated cost, ensuring costs in `Works Orders` now correctly reflect the manning level while operation timing remains unchanged.
  • [#17015] The `Notes` tab now correctly displays only notes for the selected project and tab, preventing notes from other projects from appearing.
  • [#17111] Fixed an issue where selecting the `Save as draft` option in `document distribution` did not save emails to drafts and instead sent them; now, with OAuth and the correct settings, the `Send` button is renamed to `Send to Drafts` and emails are correctly saved as drafts.
  • [#17248] Restored the ability to set a `From Name` for emails sent via SMTP in `Distribution Settings` under `Sicon Documents`, ensuring the friendly name appears correctly when dispatching through the WebAPI.
  • [#17295] Fixed a bug that caused a null object reference error when using the `Open All` button in the `Maintain Account periods` form with Fixed Assets, ensuring smoother period opening without unexpected errors.
  • [#17195] Restored delivery of Outlook meeting requests via email for approved `Holiday/Absence` requests in `Sicon Approvals`, replacing the previous `.ics` file attachment issue when using Microsoft 365 or Google Mail.
  • [#17448] Inactive stock codes are now correctly excluded from selection in the `Cost & Charges` tab, preventing errors when adding additional costs to cases.
  • [#17693] Resolved an error that occurred when posting depreciation in the `Sicon Fixed Assets` `Period End Routines`.
  • [#17313] Fixed an issue where the courier service and courier label were not generated when despatching via `despatch by stock item`, ensuring both now
    appear correctly in the sales order despatch screen.
Change in Functionality
  • [#17404] You can now print a picking list from a `Stock Transfer` in `Service` even if some items have no available stock; items without allocation are excluded, and any unallocated quantities are automatically moved to a new shortage transfer for follow-up.
