Defects corrected
The following sections include information about the defects that have been corrected in update 20.4 for Sparkrock 365 2022 release wave 1.
Invalid error when the French (Canada) language is used and the Workflows page is opened
On the My Settings page, when the Language is set to French (Canada), and then you perform a search with Tell me for Flux de travail, the following invalid error appears:
La longueur de la chaîne est 20, mais elle doit être inférieure ou égale à 17 caractères. Valeur : DEST. DEST. DEST. TX
Resolution
You can now perform a search for Flux de travail without receiving an error.
Unable to use Get Lines by PO action successfully on a purchase invoice
When releasing a purchase invoice, the SRF Quantity Available field on the associated posted purchase receipt is set to zero. When the posted purchase receipt is reopened, the value of the SRF Quantity Available field is not reverted to the original value. Not reverting the value prevents the Get Lines by PO action from being used successfully on the respective purchase invoice because the action only searches for posted purchase receipt lines where there is an available quantity.
Resolution
Now, when the posted purchase receipt is reopened, the value of the SRF Quantity Available field is reverted to the original value and the Get Lines by PO action can be used successfully.
Posted purchase history does not display posted purchase invoices
On the Purchase History page, when the Document Type is Posted Invoices, valid records do not appear.
Resolution
On the Purchase History page, when the Document Type is Posted Invoices, valid records now appear.
Known issues
The following sections include information about the known issues in update 20.4 for Sparkrock 365 2022 release wave 1.
Obsolete options display when assigning email scenarios
On the Email Scenario Assignment page, when you can choose the Assign scenarios action to open the Assign scenarios to account... page, several obsolete options appear.
Incorrect Sender ID on Pending Approval FactBox
When the following sequence of events occurs, the Pending Approval FactBox on the Purchase Order page displays an incorrect Sender ID:
User A creates a purchase order, and then sends an approval request.
The approval request is cancelled.
User B sends an approval request for the same purchase order.
An approver reviews the approval request that was sent from user B.
Instead of the Pending Approval FactBox displaying the Sender ID for user B, the Sender ID for user A is displayed.
Cannot open links in sent emails
When you open a sent email from the Sent Emails Last 30 Days page, and then select the link that appears in the body of the email, Sparkrock 365 becomes unresponsive.
Workaround
Open links in the body of sent emails from Gmail or Outlook, instead of from Sparkrock 365.
Payroll Employee or Payroll Processing pages may fail to open
When using the platform security filters on permission sets, the Payroll Employee page, Payroll Processing page, or both pages may fail to open with a something went wrong error message. This is a limitation of the payroll processing module.
Workaround
Remove the permission sets with security filters from the user who must access these pages.
