Release Notes v24.01
[What’s New v25.01] for feature highlights.

Advisories Version 25.01 

ACCOUNTING

• Print Checks functionality will no longer work in v24 after upgrading to v25. The process can still be run and a Check Run can be posted, but the Check print out will not be posted.  US23458525

GENERAL

• Customers intending to send out Email Alerts will need to ensure they configure a background job “Process Email Alerts” with SQL Procedure set to “Process Email Alerts – EmailAlertEvent_Process” and frequency set to 1 minute. Failure to configure this background job will prevent alerts from being sent out.  US15718038
• Integrations > Cloud Document Storage > Core Report Datasets that return images. Due to security concerns, we no longer support direct SQL text that does not call a stored procedure for datasets that return images in RDL Reports. All Datasets that return an image to be embedded in a report will use “Stored Procedure” as the Query Type. Query Type Text datasets that call a stored procedure are still supported, but not recommended as they require additional processing to parse the Query. Query Type Text datasets that use direct SQL statements are no longer supported and will produce an error. The aforementioned only applies to datasets that return images, however, these are best practices that should be applied to every data set where possible.  US28697493
• {website_root}/diagnostics. “Check Valid Security Peppers” now properly checks that the smtp_pepper and document_pepper values are set in settings.ini.php. If either of the values are not set, the check will throw a fatal error as they are both mandatory arguments that get injected in their respective classes and there is no case where you may leave them unset. There is no validation against the values themselves, process only checks that the values are set. Important: Changing these values can permanently break every document in the system if the value used to encrypt the documents initially is lost.  US36005381
• EAcceptance Without MFA feature (Config EACCEPTANCEWITHOUTMFA) is deprecated due to decreased security caused by such a feature.  US35452533

HR

• Background Job “Auto Generate PTO Time Bills” has been changed to depend upon a new config “AUTOPTOSPLIT.”  Config default = OFF. When set to ON, system will process PTO requests and generate multiple time bills if the requested gross time off is greater than the employee’s (default End Time – default Start Time – Non-available Hours).  UR91544167

INVENTORY

• Change to Recurring Dispatch form. Default PO No. field name changed to “PO #.”  Customers who have already applied this change as a hotfix will need to make sure their existing data in Default PO No. field copied over correctly to PO # field after applying this change.  US8872905

SALES

• Users upgrading to version 25.01 that use a custom Proposal will need Support to update the dataset in their template to include the new Freight and Opt Freight fields, and decide if they would like Freight Costs to display separately on the Proposal Summary page.  UR98577239
