Platform 24.9 Release Notes

This is a preview of the upcoming release. General release is available starting 07-OCT-2024.

• Precision added to Numeric type attribute – In Master data > Attributes, you can now choose the precision for a Numeric type attribute instead of using the Decimal type, which is no longer available. In addition, the Max length field has been replaced with the Maximum decimal places drop-down list (0-15). Read more

  The maximum numeric value length follows the database standard of 38 digits.

  You can edit the attribute decimal place value; however, after the attribute has been assigned, you cannot decrease the number of decimal places.

  

• Master data required payroll indicators – When you create a new payroll indicator in master data and make it required, the payroll indicator is now assigned to both new and existing projects. Previously, when you created a new payroll indicator, it would only be assigned to new projects.

• Create projects in a sub organization – When you have a role in a sub-organization with the Add projects permission, you can now add projects in the sub-organization. Previously, you needed to have a role with permissions in the root organization to add projects in a sub-organization.

• Master data libraries Status column - A new column has been added to General ledger accounts, Payment terms, Incoterms, and Revenue categories in Master data libraries. When the status of a list item is set to Available, the item can be used and assigned to a project. The Delete icon has been removed and unused items can now instead be set to Unavailable. The Hide unavailable toggle has been added to the page and when set to On, the view is filtered to show only the items that can be assigned to a project.

• InEight Contract permission – The new permission Edit retention release was added to Roles and permissions > Permissions > Contract > Contracts under View payment forms.
