Resolved Known Issues
Functional Area | 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. | |
Orders | 82748 | The call to get configuration data was protected by manage configuration permission. This page is now accessible without need for this permission. |
82752 | Fixed a problem in the task plan causing errors during some restore orders. | |
File Processing | 82747 | Removed extra spacing unintentionally added to the default payment description so the full description is captured |
Invoice XML | 82705 | 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] Fixed NULL reference when creating the ‘Error Workflow’ when no default user or group can be identified. Expanded the maximum characters for Workflow ‘Name’ field from 255 to 1000. |
