Modifications have been made to correctly pull the unit of measure from the demand type, if available, when adding a line to an existing shipper. Defect ID: 514135/Incident ID: 8879682 Wrong unit of measure showing on container label. Container labels were using the unit of measure on the part when printing, rather than from the shipment. Modifications have been made to correctly pull the unit of measure from the shipment when printing container labels. Defect ID: 516228/Incident ID: 8919772 Tare weight not updating. The container edit and add screens do not update the tare weight when changing containers when creating shippers.

View ASN screen missing Transportation Method. The outbound ASN created from a loaded ASN does not include the transportation method. Modifications have been made to perform proper checks for the transportation method so that it is exported if available, which will cause the value to appear on the View ASN screen as well since that is a representation of the exported ASN. Defect ID: 509688/Incident ID: 8788643 Demand Load Sheet report not printing if flex fields exist. The load sheet report will not print if flex fields are used for demand. Modifications have been made to the stylesheet generating the PDF to create valid xml if flex field data exists. Defect ID: 507387/Incident ID:8757337 Unhandled Data Access Object Exception error adjusting CUMs. An error is returned when adjusting CUMs as a user that has supplier restrictions applied to their login. Modification has been made to the query attempting to use restriction criteria that was not available so the CUM adjustment could complete. Defect ID: 520177/Incident ID: 9015058 Schedules fail to load when PO # is missing. When loading schedules without a PO # the schedules fail to load at times. Modification has been made to properly account for schedules without a PO # so they will save properly. Defect ID: 521383/Incident ID: 9016909 8
Gateway VDA files missing from File Status. VDA documents exporting to the supplier do not appear in the gateway s file status. Modification has been made to write the proper entry in the database for VDA type export documents so they appear as file status entries for user review. Defect ID: 513201/Incident ID: 8875486 Weight unit of measure invalid on ASN load. When an ASN loads and there is a header error, such as an invalid format for the arrival time, a proper error is not displayed and instead a Weight unit of measure invalid for each ASN line item will appear in the file status. Modification has been made to properly log validation errors for time fields as well as not display misleading measures about ASN line information since it is not checked if there are header errors. Defect ID: 523103/Incident ID: 9072337 SE count on exported 850 incorrect. The 850 exported out to suppliers for DPO and PPO could have the wrong SE count. Modifications were made to the stylesheets generating the 850 so the SE count would be correct. Defect ID: 505767/Incident ID: 8724873 Material Release exporting VDA 4905 invalid. The 4905 material release exported in VDA format was invalid due to values not being formatted correctly. Modification has been made to creatd the 4905 in a valid VDA format. Defect ID: 513188/Incident ID: 8769214 Exported 850 contains * in MSG segment. PO header and detail notes could be exported on the 850 to suppliers with an "*" in the MSG segment. 9

Document management alerts do not show as checked when users are subscribed to receive those alerts, which also makes it impossible to unsubscribe. Modification has been made to properly indicate when users have subscribed to document management alerts. Defect ID: 512648/Incident ID: 8810078 Purchase Order Changed alert not considering Product Group. The purchase order changed alert that is sent to users is not filtering the alert through the product group assigned by the subscribing user so the user only receives the alert for the intended parts. Modification has been made to send the part number to the alert in order for the alert processor to properly filter based on product group for a given user. Defect ID: 515375/Incident ID: 8908314 PO Change alert missing line number. When a PO BOD loads with a line item note change the alert that is emailed specifies it is for a specific line number but it is missing the line number. For example it will show in the alert: Purchase Order detail note was updated for line number: # 10
Modification has been made to properly pass the line number to the alert so the pound (#) sign is replaced with the actual line number with the detail note change. Defect ID: 518386/Incident ID: 8894722 Supplier receiving Infor Supplier Exchange Status Notification. Supplier users receive Infor Supplier Exchange Status Notification email instead of the document type specific email when they ve subscribed to receive notification when documents are loaded in the Communications, Define Documents menu.

Defect ID: 518297/Incident ID: 8432471, 8973143, 8998192 BOD Processing File fails when max length exceeded and greater than 500 characters. When a data field has a max length validation error and the data exceeds 500 characters the proper error does not show in the file status. Modification has been made to the generic validator such that if a max length error has occurred only the first 500 characters of the value will be used so it will properly display in the file status. Defect ID: 507470/Incident ID: 8759138 PO BODs stuck at Import Transformed PO BODs get stuck in Import Transformed when a new Ship To is sent but the Ship To name already exists, even though the proper errors are being written to the file status Modification has been made to properly update the status of the file status record to Failed for this scenario. Defect ID: 511184/Incident ID: 8832381 InventoryCount BODs fail for Oracle. Inventory count BODs fail to load if Oracle is the underlying database. 11
Modification has been made to correct the script creating the inventory document type in Oracle to use the proper values so the BOD can be recognized. Defect ID: 522331/Incident ID: 9057232 Replacement POs setting lines to Pending. When a replacement PO BOD loads and re-opens a closed or cancelled line it sets the line to Pending instead of Open. Modification has been made to properly set the re-opened line to Open for this scenario. Defect ID: 512039/Incident ID: 8714262,8844385 Bad quantity on Supplier Invoice BOD. The quantity on the outbound SupplierInvoice BOD can be incorrect when using decimal quantity. For example.33 becomes.33333333333333333333. Modification has been made to properly handle converting decimal quantities for use in the outbound SupplierInvoice BOD. Defect ID: 517444/Incident ID: 8960210 Defective Material Notice Part missing from EMC and Alerts. Creating a DMN for a part that does not have demand for a supplier failed to create the links needed for the part to be visible in the EMC for the supplier as well as send Alerts to the supplier for the Part. Modifications have been made to create the part/supplier relationship needed for the EMC and Alert processor to identify the part as belonging to the supplier. Defect ID: 506765/Incident ID: 8712877 Printing DMN Report yielding 404, page not found error. 12
When clicking the generate PDF icon from the DMN Management list page the PDF fails to open and a 404, page not found error is returned instead. Modification has been made to extend the timeout so it does not instantly time out when generating the DMN Report. Defect ID: 519059/Incident ID: 8877513 Response Due Date re-defaulting after being cleared. The containment response due date and corrective response due date could default back in after being cleared when adding a disposition. Modification has been made to properly retain the value of the due date fields when dispositions are added for a new DMN. Defect ID: 511154/Incident ID: 8784114 Single Sign On Validation error if SSO user ID exceeds 30 characters. When the single sign on user ID for a user exceeds 30 characters a validation error is given and the information is not allowed to be saved. Modifications have been made to allow the single sign on user ID length to be up to 50 characters, which is what the database field allows. Defect ID: 507746/Incident ID: 8756294 Export Scheduler Documents being sent twice a day. The export scheduler is sending documents twice a day, at both the AM and PM hour, rather than only during the time specified. Modification has been made to properly handle AM versus PM for the export scheduler tasks. Defect ID: 515184/Incident ID: 8914115 13
Edifact DELFOR invalid. The DELFOR material release exported to suppliers contained invalid segments when generated from the export scheduler. Modifications to the stylesheet that generates the XML have been applied to send valid DELFOR documents. Defect ID: 507754/Incident ID: 8746817, 9058050 Proposed Purchase Order PPO detail list could have wrong extended price. The proposed purchase order detail list on the header screen could show the wrong extended price than what the lines actually added up to. Modifications have been made to use the value from the database rather than from a faulty query that was trying to recalculate on the fly. Defect ID: 509130,514487/Incident ID: 8787857,8899466 Session Expired or Invalid error when clicking to generate PPO PDF. Proposed Purchase Order PDF documents are not generating when the generate PDF icon is clicked. A window opens but it returns an error stating Session Expired or Invalid. Modification has been made to the stylesheet generating the xml for the PDF to be properly formatted for printing. Defect ID: 511335/Incident ID: 8836829 PO Detail could not be found error negotiating DPO. When a customer clicks negotiate on a discrete purchase order with an unregistered supplier and proceeds to submit the negotiation a PO Detail could not be found error is returned. Modification has been made to give the customer user a message to the effect that the supplier is unregistered, therefore negotiation is not available, when attempting to negotiate a discrete purchase order with an unregistered supplier. Negotiation cannot be initiated until the supplier is registered since the supplier will not be able to log in and negotiate until after registration is complete. Defect ID: 518923/Incident ID: 8970389 14
User Interface Unhandled Data Access Object Exception possible when using restriction groups. When more than 1000 Ship To s exist in a customer restriction group assigned to a user then the user would get an error when using filter screens that contained the Ship To field and using Oracle as a backend database. For MSSQL databases this error would occur if there were more than 2000. Modifications have been made to the data access layer to properly handle query criteria of over 1000 items. Defect ID: 510111/Incident ID: 8812101 Reports Powered By logo covering up data. The Powered By logo on PDF documents is very large and covering data.

Modifications have been made to not export duplicate PO EDI data during PPO finalization. Defect ID: 510835/Incident: 8780108 Part description incorrect from M3. M3 sends the supplier part description for generic items in the actual part description, causing the part description for the generic part (e.g., TOOLING) to constantly change in the system. 15
Modification has been made to load the part description into the notes for PO BODs loading from M3. Defect ID: 516568/Incident ID: 8533094 Slow response using only PO # as criteria. When choosing just the PO # as criteria in the purchase order filter the system would take an abnormally long time to find the PO #. Modification has been made to correct an inefficiency where all supplier IDs were used as criteria when all suppliers were selected rather than a specific supplier. Defect ID: 517730/Incident ID: 8943633 Emailed PO PDF missing line status. Emailed PO PDF documents sent to suppliers are missing the PO line status for each line causing suppliers to not be able to identify closed or cancelled lines. Modification has been made to the stylesheet used to generate xml for the PDF to include the PO line status. Defect ID: 516939, 521443/Incident ID: 8944822, 9037396 Purchase Order PDF does not show correct price values. Prices on outbound PO documents that were created from BODs are not showing at least two decimal places. Modifications have been made when creating the XML used for the outbound purchase order in order for the prices to have at least two decimal places. Defect ID: 519609/Incident ID: 8944316 Currency code missing on emailed PDF. The currency code was not showing on DPO PDF documents mailed to users if the DPO was closing or cancelling. Modification has been made to properly set the currency for use in the outbound documents when the DPO is being closed or cancelled. 16
Defect ID: 522051/Incident ID: 8944316 Supplier Performance Metrics shows invalid DMN issued count. The DMNs issued per in the generated metrics is incorrect. It always shows the total number of DMNs for the time frame instead of showing the number issued per the time frame specified in the customer profile. Modification has been made to the metrics generation to properly take into account the customer profile setting so the DMN issued count will show the number of DMNs per week, for example, when the setting is set to weekly. Defect ID: 517089/Incident ID: 8948213 Document Management Viewed information not displaying. The first buyer viewed date and viewed user for a supplier uploaded document is not updating. Modification has been made to commit the update to the database when the customer reviews a supplier document for the first time. Defect ID: 511273/Incident ID: 8819835 17
