Software fixes
Here is a list of fixes we’ve put in place in Mercury v32.28456: | Contact not hierarchy (New Placement Form) |
| The Invoice/Paperwork Contact was previously not working as expected on Mercury Placement Form with users unable to select a Client Contact from within the Client hierarchy. This has now been resolved. | |
66382: | Commission Split Lines - Vacancy progressed to Placement, Fee/GP Amount not updating |
| When a temp or contract Vacancy was progressed to Placement, active Commission Split Lines copy to the Placement but Fee/GP Amount = 0 and End Date was also blank. Even when this was populated, the Commission Split Lines did not update with the True Gross Profit in the Fee/GP Amount column, therefore calculations did not occur so Split Total and Split Total Percentage remained at 0. This has now been resolved. | |
66387: | Calculated Values not updating when Placement Extended |
| Extending a Temp or Contract Placement did not always recalculate Calculated Values for the new duration stipulated, instead it retained values from the original Placement. This has now been changed so that the Calculated Values recalculate on the Extension, taking into consideration the Start and End dates | |
72287: | Placement V2 form - States filter not working correctly |
| An error was identified where the Mercury Placement form displayed random states under the state field when Country US is selected. This has now been resolved. | |
38371: | Placement Rates are copied from original Placement on extended Placements |
| When extending a Placement the 'Rates' had a Start Date from the original Placement and so when checking the “Placement Rate” on extended Placements the dates, pay, etc are the same as the original Placement. Now the Placement Rates are taken from the Start Date of the new extended Placement | |
57947: | Shortlist Gross Profit not Calculating for Fixed / Staged |
| An error meant that Gross Profit was not calculating automatically on Shortlist or Placement when ‘Fee Based On’ field was ‘Fixed’ or ‘Staged’. This has now been resolved | |
73168: | Placement Status Flow failing |
| The Placement Status flow was failing due to an error. This has now been resolved. | |
69621: | Activity Grid not preserving selected environment Phone Calls |
| There was an error where the new Activity Grid was showing error screens / no Phone Calls for certain Individuals. This has now been resolved. | |
74480: | Upload CV button appearing when it shouldn't |
| We identified an issue where the Ribbon Button for on-demand parsing was appearing when it should not have. This has now been resolved. | |
56038: | Latest Source on Contact not being updated new application is created |
| Previously the “Latest Source” field on contact records was not updated when emails received from subsequent sources i.e. an application. This has now been resolved. | |
59843: | Compliance Statuses for Offboarding are created incorrectly where no Agreement exists |
| Where a Compliance Criterion is set to "Client Specifiable?" and "Yes" it should only be applied to Placements that have an Agreement AND that Agreement is included in the Compliance Criterion For Offboarding Compliance Criterion, if Client Specifiable is set to "Yes", it results in Compliance Statuses getting created for all placements without an Agreement. This has now been resolved. | |
60242: | Country not showing on Contact Address |
| We have fixed an issue that when opening an Address for a Contact, Country was not showing | |
62888: | Vacancy Currency |
| Previously, when changing the main Currency on the Vacancy, the hidden Currency fields, Gross Profit Currency, for example was not updated. This has now been resolved. | |
71980: | Standard Rate Type not updating on Placement Extension |
| We identified an issue where when a Placement was extended and a different Extension standard rate had been selected in the Extension modal, the Extended Placement still had the Standard Rate Type from the original Placement and not the one selected in the extension modal. This has now been resolved. | |
