PR

Description

System – General

82735

Fixed issue when the service bus is not configured.

 

Customer Mgmt

82713

Added Order By clause to query to avoid random sorting of alerts.

82736

Improved performance for loading subservices to help avoid timeouts.

82774

When comparing invoice details with both in-advance and non-in-advance charges, multiple detail rows for a feature on a service sum the quantity and charges in each invoice, so that the comparison is accurate.

RateBill

82637

Tax discrepancy – Fixed Billing to save correct tax information to InvoiceTaxDetail when a product is exempt from State Surcharges but not from State Taxes.

82698

Added additional usage type 733 (Wireless Roaming Dir Assist) for Intl Roam Dir Assist calls to fix missing Airtime portion of Intl Roam Dir Assist.

82718

TotalAmountDue now matches the sum of the accounts InvoiceDetails to fix rollup error where, sometimes, amounts would not load correctly and be off by a very small fraction. (Example $.42 represented as $.41999999999 or $.42000000001).

82725

The two 339 CountryBand entries in Seed Data have been dropped. This fixes the issue where CountryBand.csv included incorrect information for the CountryBand table with two rows for CountryID 339 with the Name values of “Monaco” and “Monaco Cellular”. These are duplicates of entries for CountryID 377, which is the correct County Code for Monaco.

82770

Fixed Billing so it does not set the End Date and Final Invoice Number for installment products that are under a non billing service.

82775

Enhanced the Monthly Tax Line Items No SKU report logic so that its tax calculations mimic the way that the taxing engine is calculation them.

PDF operation was not correctly handling market names that contained single quotes. – Fixed SQL by escaping each single quote with a second single quote to handle properly.

Corporate Accounts

82779

TotalNewCharges no longer subtracted from their last previous Invoice. This fixes the following issue – NIR Previous Balance Roll Up, a Corp Child, whose last previous Invoice was NIR with NIRRollup on and a CorpRollup from that last previous Invoice left the AccountBalance as 0.00, was made IR for their latest new Invoice with the NIRTotalRollUp on for the first time and the TotalNewCharges from their last previous Invoice were subtracted from the TotalAmountDue of the new Invoice in calculating the Amount of the AccountTransaction for the new Invoice.

Workflow

Updated validation on Subworkflow step to show more consistent user messaging when required fields were not populated.

Fixed issue with Subworkflows kicking off twice by adding in retry attempts on deadlock. [PR 82696]
