Contract 25.5.2 Release Notes

• WBS no longer automatically populates with the first CBS item – When the line item WBS field was left empty, the blank was matched with the first item in the Control CBS structure that had an empty WBS phase code. The logic was updated to not match the line item blank WBS with any empty phase code. Contract leaves this field blank, and you must select a WBS phase code, if required.

• The Post back dialog box now opens when clicking Add from InEight Document – When adding a document from Document’s Documents module to Contract, the Post back dialog box did not open. The Post back dialog box now opens correctly.
