Expense Management 2022 R2 Service Pack 5
Released: July 8, 2023
App version: 10.5.0.0
FOB version: 10.05.00
Bug fixes
| Functional area | Description | Id |
|---|---|---|
| Expenses | A negative expense would be created as a Purchase Invoice instead of a Credit Memo when a Preferable Purchase Invoice was set up. | 52434 |
| Expenses | Posting a Purchase Credit Memo for the business Vendor number (Vendor No. on the expense) would not trigger the automatic payment that had to be applied to that document. | 52803 |
| Expenses | When using the Vendor No. (business vendor) field on expenses, while having a Payment Type with a Vendor (bank account), the following error would have been raised, if the Continia User did not have a Vendor No. specified. The error has been replaced by a more meaningful one. We have fixed the following error when posting a Bank Purchase Invoice (a payment type posting on a Vendor).
| 52821 |
| Expenses | When an expense was marked as non-refundable (personal) and it involved the Vendor No. (business vendor) field, along with a Payment Type linked to a Vendor (bank account), a credit memo was issued to the business vendor. It was not correct to decide the document type based on the No Refund field on the expense, the document type should have always been Invoice for a positive expense and Cr. Memo for negative expenses. Furthermore, the creation of a business vendor document is skipped if the expense is non-refundable and the Payment Type posting Method is Post on the Expense User Account. | 52859 |
| Expenses | When navigating to Find Entries from a Purch. Cr. Memo generated by Expense Management, the expense was not shown in the Related Entries. | 52878 |
| Expenses | When a negative allocated Expense with Vendor Invoice No. was posted, multiple Purchase Credit Memos were created for each of the allocation lines instead of adding multiple allocation lines to the existing Purchase Credit Memo. | 52887 |
| General Application | On a Payment Type when Matched to Expense was set to Never Required, the fields related to the matching (variance, etc.) were not cleared of their values, this resulted in an error later in the process. | 50326 |
| General Application | We have added the missing Lessor Integration objects (.fob) for Business Central April 2019 (BCv14) on the release package. | 52298 |
| General Application | When using the Vendor No. (business vendor) field on expenses, while having a Payment Type with a Vendor (bank account), an automatic payment was intended to happen when the invoice was posted. Instead, the error below would occur, while the invoice would have succeeded to post.
| 52835 |
| General Application | When posting expenses in foreign currencies where the Amount Rounding Precision allows more decimals than the local currency and Post in Expense Currency was enabled. The following error message was stopping the process.
| 54691 |
| General Application | The CEM Pre-Cloud Migration Wizard in the departments, was not searchable. | 54838 |
| General Application | When adding filters on a Field Type, in the No. Of Source Table Filters, the calculated No. of Lookup Values was not updated. The issue was only visually not updated. | 55300 |
| Mileages | The system went into a stage of a never-ending loop, if the date on Starting Distance, to calculate a lower rate than the main rate, was different from the date on the main rate. | 51566 |
| Mileages | When calculating mileage over a certain Starting Distance, the lower rate was not applied. Instead the next year rate was picked up, if this was specified. | 55306 |

| Credit Card Transactions | When importing transactions via the Transaction Import Journal, the Currency Code on the Bank Transaction will be set to empty if it matches the local currency of the company. | 50454 |
| Expenses | Dimensions on the expense are no longer checked if allocations are present. | 46065 |
| General Application | Configured fields settings like Hide Visibility, Editable and Mandatory were overwritten when clicking Reset to Default Setup in Configured Fields. This was also happening automatically if settings were changed in the Expense Management Setup page. | 47940 |
| General Application | When posting Per Diem in foreign currencies, the exchange rate was calculated based on the current travel day and not based on the posting date. | 48113 |
| General Application | When a user without permissions on Expense Management objects would post a Purchase Invoice, the following error would have prevented him from posting: "You do not have the following permissions on TableData CEM Expense: Read." | 48344 |

| General Application | Introducing the new CEM Image Quality (6086520) page, which offers users the ability to customize image size and quality settings. This feature provides the ability to override default values for Picture Size and Picture Quality, providing greater control. | 45546 |
Bug fixes
| Functional area | Description | ID |
|---|---|---|
| Credit Card Transactions | We have addressed an issue where parallel processes downloading transactions could potentially result in duplicated entries in the bank transaction inbox. | 47472 |
| Expenses | In Canadian localization, when a user created expense allocations marked as non-taxable, the system incorrectly allocated them as taxable amounts for sales tax purposes. | 43601 |
| Expenses | On the expense card, the Amount without VAT field now displays the total amount when the VAT calculation type is Reverse VAT. | 46594 |
| Expenses | We have resolved a problem where the default dimensions on Employee were not checked on the expense allocations, leading to occasional errors in specific situations. | 46639 |
| General Application | The UNABLE-DEPR error displayed for a completed document that was later attached to an expense report. | 43696 |
| General Application | To address the issue of posting documents related to an Expense Report being added to Job Queues, we have implemented a prevention measure to disable the posting functionality for such documents. | 45593 |
| General Application | We have reintroduced the email scenarios functionality, which was previously available in version 9.00. | 46078 |
| General Application | When deleting an Expense Report inbox entry, the status is now checked. | 46484 |
| General Application | When processing notification outbox entries, multiple updates of the same documents in Continia Online were sent. | 46514 |
| General Application | When a transaction would automatically match an existing expense, Continia Online was not informed. This was allowing changes to the expense. | 46568 |
| General Application | The reminder e-mail sent to approvers presented the wrong currency on the expense reports when the amounts were in local currency. | 46690 |
| General Application | We have resolved an issue where the "Paid/Reimbursed" filters on the status report were not being properly considered. This bug has been fixed, and the filters now function as intended. | 47481 |
| General Application | Previously, when transitioning from File Storage or Azure to Database, encountering an error during the deletion of old files would result in a complete rollback of the process, leading to the loss of already deleted files. We have now implemented a change to handle each document individually, allowing for the possibility of repeating the process in case of errors and enabling recovery of the deleted files. | 47561 |
| General Application | The issue where the default email scenario was selected instead of the configured one when sending welcome emails has been resolved. | 47699 |
| General Application | The codeunit 6086569 "CEM Update Field Dependencies" in the Job Queue now correctly calculates the lookup values. | 47730 |
| Per Diem | Configured "Billable" field on Mileage or Per Diem no longer gets overwritten to "True" upon download in Business Central. | 46079 |
| Per Diem | When clicking on the "0" value in the Allowance Rates on a Per Diem group, a dialog prompts the user to create a rate automatically. In specific localizations, the new rate has a wrong date format resulting in an error. | 46678 |

| Per Diem | We have changed the functionality for Per Diem when using Sub-Rates in such a way that negative amounts are allowed. That is to resolve the issue of the first day amounts, where meals would not have been taken into consideration. To avoid users having to click on all the per diem details, you can chose to set Expense Management Setup -> Allowance given by default. | 38803 |
Bug fixes
| Functional area | Description | ID |
|---|---|---|
| Credit Card Transactions | When deleting a bank transaction a reverse posting would occur. In a case where the payment type was configured incorrectly and the intermmediate account had VAT setup and was also used as balancing account, it was not possible to revert this transaction anymore because of an error like below:
| 43645 |
| Credit Card Transactions | We have fixed a bug which in some cases prevented the Bank Transaction page from opening after an upgrade. | 45222 |
| Credit Card Transactions | We have prevented editing of the payment type on the bank transaction page. | 45223 |

| General Application | We have fixed an issue in the add-in where only the last page was displayed for multi-page pdf files. Furthermore, we are now displaying pdf files using the built-in pdf viewer from the browser. | 44790 |
| General Application | The field "Taxable Meal Allowance" on the Per Diem Rate Details was shown even when taxable Per Diem rates were disabled. Due to this, the calculation was taking taxable rates into consideration. The calculation is changed, as well. Further validations were also added to prevent changing taxable rates when the Per Diem Taxable rates are disabled. | 45143 |
| Mileages | The event OnBeforeCheckMileage was never used in Codeunit 6086344 CEM Mileage - Check. Instead, OnAfterCheckMileage was wrongly called from two locations. | 43978 |
| Mileages | When using Taxable rates on Mileage and Per Diem, the amount posted was adding the taxable amount twice. | 44396 |
| Mileages | When attendee mileage rates were used, the mileage amount was not updated in the Expense App/Portal, after a synchronization with Business Central. In this way, the user was seeing an outdated amount. | 45401 |
| Per Diem | We have fixed a bug in the Norwegian demo machine, where the posting setup for "MÅLTID" was missing. | 43822 |
| Per Diem | Whenever using per diem sub-rates, a per diem starting precisely at midnight (00:00) was adding an extra full day allowance to the calculation. | 44537 |

| Expenses | We have made available the following system fields for expenses and mileage: "Gen. Bus. Posting Group" and "VAT Bus. Posting Group". | 41950 |
| Expenses | We are now delaying the validations for the posting group combinations (General/VAT Posting Setup), allowing for a partial setup on the G/L Accounts. The validations will still occur, though, once all the posting groups are inherited from the G/L Accounts and from the Expense Posting Setup. This will avoid errors similar to the one below.
| 43185 |
| General Application | We have updated the Continia logo in the Status and Tax Report. | 42986 |
| Per Diem | We have implemented a sub-rate calculation for the first and last day on the Per Diem. In the past, the sub-rate was applied only to the last day, according to the remaining hours from the whole trip. | 42922 |
Bug fixes
| Functional area | Description | ID |
|---|---|---|
| Expenses | When pressing "Show not matched" on the Reconciliation page, filters were applied only on the left side sub-page, but not on the right-side sub-page. | 41369 |
| Expenses | When posting a matched expense in a system where posting transactions at import was disabled, when the expense currency matches the Bank Account currency, the posting amount was the result of an Amount LCY converted to the Bank Account currency. This was not necessary since the Bank Account currency matches the Expense Currency. | 41807 |
| Expenses | We have added an error message on the expense, if the chosen payment type is missing a Bal. Account No. and Refund User is false. | 42275 |
| Expenses | The Expense Management Rolecenter page was not showing the "Unmatched" transactions. | 42648 |

| 41776 |
| General Application | When creating Lookup Value Access setup on a child field (for example TASK, related to JOBNO) the rule was never exported to Continia Online, therefore all the values were still available for selection in the Expense App and in the Expense Portal. | 41955 |
| General Application | We have fixed a bug in the document add-ins, where clicking on the add-in on a document with no attachment, would result in a download of a random attachment. | 42313 |
| General Application | The cue "Expense Report Inbox" was not visible in the Rolecenter. | 42399 |
