Known behavior - Pending revision

We’re investigating the below behavior:  

  • The Currency Code is not synchronized from the Rental Contract to the Sales Order when Advanced Sales Line Shipping is enabled. 
  • When a Job Template with enhanced Ship-to Options for Job Addresses and Site Addresses is selected on the General tab of a Rental Quote, the Ship-to fields on the Shipping Tab are not updated.
  • Rental Dispatch
    • When on a Rental Contract after running Release for Delivery or changing the Dispatch Status on a rental line to Delivery and the Requested Delivery Date on a Rental Line is changed, an error occurs advising that the date cannot be changed as Dispatch is in Process. If Refresh (F5) is selected to roll back the entered date and Delivery Date on the planning line, then the Delivery Date on the Planning Line is not rolled back.
    • When on a Rental Contract after running Release for Pickup or change the Dispatch Status on a rental line to “Pickup,” and the Requested Pickup Date on a Rental Line is changed, then an error occurs advising that the date cannot be changed as Dispatch is in Process. If Refresh (F5) is selected to roll back the entered date and Pickup Date on the planning line, then the Pickup Date on the Planning Line is not rolled back. What occurs is that the Planning Line, Required Shipping Date, is being updated with the date that was entered on the Requested Pickup Date on the Rental Line, when it should not be.
  • Metered Usage Allowances are not correctly allocated in the Rental Amounts lines for Rental Terms with Prorate, All Periods and have either Enforce First of Month Billing or Enforce End of Month Billing enabled, when the entry of the Current Meter Reading or Metered Usage Quantity is for more than one rental period.
  • When on a User Defined Billing Term, the first line has a Billing Method of Initial Billing, the rental term is a Fixed Fee and the Use Pricing from Setup is flagged, then the price on the unit price card for the term does not default to the rental line Billing Schedule line.
