Contract 24.3 Release Notes

General release is available starting 08-APR-2024.

Updated 08-APR-2024

  • Copy line item to schedule of values – You can now copy line items from the Line items register in contracts and master agreements directly to the Schedule of values register. Copying line items gives you a starting point for building your Schedule of values and an easy way to make values match. ClosedRead more

    When the schedule of values is enabled for the contract, the option To schedule of values shows when you click the Copy icon in the Line items register. When you select To schedule of values, the selected line items are copied and associated to the schedule of values.

    Deleted line items and closed line items are copied, but the line item is blank in the schedule of values. Because Limit line item types are values without quantities and units of measure, they cannot be copied to the schedule of values.

    For more information about adding items to the schedule of values, see Schedule of Values Tab.

  • Move line item columns from the Detail section of the grid to the locked section – You can now use the Column manager on the Line Items page to move columns from the Details section to the first section. Moving detail columns into the locked section gives you more options when customizing the view on the Line items page. You can also move the Material ID, Description, and Type fields from the locked section into the Details section. For information about managing Line items register columns, see Line items column management.

  • Workflow recall – The user that recalled a workflow is now shown on the project Workflows page as part of the workflow details. ClosedRead more

    For more information about workflow, see Workflow Assignments .

  • Roles without assigned users in workflow steps – You can no longer start an approval workflow when a role assigned to a step has no users assigned. A warning indicating that there is no applicable user for the step is shown. For more information about assigning roles in workflows, see Workflow Assignments .

  • Payment term and Incoterm codes included with descriptions – The payment term and incoterm codes are now shown along with their descriptions in drop-down menus, registers, and exports.

  • Accruals sent to InEight Control upon submission – Contract now sends accruals to Control only after they have been submitted. Previously, accruals were sent to Control when they were in Draft status. For information about submitting accruals, see Accruals/Receipts.

  • New lines in published external purchase order contracts – The external API no longer allows additional lines to be added to published external purchase order contracts.

  • Supporting document expiration notification toggle – When the toggle Expiration notification enabled is set to Yes for a supporting document, the toggle remains enabled and no longer changes 180 days after the expiration date has passed. ClosedRead more

    Previously, Contract reset the toggle to No after 180 days to stop email notifications. Now, the toggle remains set to Yes, and you can assume notifications were sent. Contract stops sending notifications 180 days after the expiration date.

    For more information about expiration notifications, see Supporting Documents.

Due to lack of use, Harmonized Systems / Schedules functionality will be deprecated in the 24.5 release. This will include the settings, contract header field, line item fields, and any associated tags. Please contact customer support with any questions or concerns.
