Contract 26.3 Release Notes

This is a preview of the upcoming release. General release is available starting 05-MAY-2026

• Placeholder supporting document Added by and Added on information automatically updated – When a placeholder is replaced by the actual document, the Added by and Added on fields are now updated to show the name of the person who uploaded the document and the date. Previously, The Added by field remained as InEight Service Account and the date was the date that the placeholder was added.

• Line item commitment calculations for closed line items – When a line item is closed, the Line item commitment column of the Line items register is now calculated as the higher of the goods receipt value or the invoice receipt value to be consistent with the calculation in InEight Control. A new column, Committed value, has been added to the Contract register, so you can quickly see commitments. Read more

  The committed value is the sum of the open line item net amount plus tax (when tax is included in the committed cost) assigned to WBS phase codes plus the sum of the closed line item commitments assigned to WBS phase codes.

  Reopening a line item reverts the commitment to the current line commitment value.

• Line item increased space in drop-down lists – All two-column drop-downs fields, such as Description, Material ID, Product category, General ledger, and WBS codes have been widened to allow greater visibility into the data. If the data cannot be shown as a single row, the height of the row is expanded to allow multiple lines of text. The increased space helps you to see the full description of each option when making drop-down selections.

• Add multiple insurance placeholders to the Vendor page – You can now select multiple subtypes when you add an insurance document to fill a placeholder, so you do not have to add the same document for each applicable placeholder individually. Read more

  When you add an Insurance placeholder document, the Add another subtype icon now shows in the Edit supporting document dialog box as it does when adding an insurance document to the Contract page.

• Vendor change order Line items updates – A new column, Long description, has been added to the Vendor change order Line items register. The Long description field and the Custom fields have been added to the Add existing line item dialog box.

• Payment forms Line items updates – The WBS column has been added to the Payment forms Line items register. The WBS field and the Custom fields have been added to the Add line item dialog box.

• Payment forms register new column – The Payment claim ID column has been added to the Payment forms register, so you can quickly see the payment claim associated with the payment form.

• Supporting documents date selection – Supporting documents date fields now accept dates starting from 01 January 1900.

• Tax identification number column in Supporting documents registers – The Tax identification number column has been added to contract Supporting document registers, so you can quickly see the tax ID. Previously, you could only view the Tax identification number field from the edit panel.

• Line item import template updates – The Agreement item ID column in the Line item import template now shows both the ID and the description, making it easier for users to select the correct master agreement item. Read more

  Long descriptions are also now available for material masters, unless your organization does not allow it.
