System Maintenance Enhancements: 

  • Security added to 'Rooms' word in Property screen: to prevent certain user roles from being able ton force a change of Room Status.


Bug Fixes:

  • SA Rent Statement showing 1899 Date for Tenancy with no payments - fixed, now shows day before Tenancy Start Date.
  • Tradespeople Region field was not displaying correctly on the Manage Tradespeople screen. Fixed.
  • Tradesperson Trade Types field wasn't displaying correctly.  Fixed.
  • Export from the Schedule Inspections screen was causing an error #3061. Fixed.
  • Scheduled inspections when using PIM were not displaying in the home screen summary correctly. Fixed
  • Home> Add maintenance task > select a property was not adding the order number or tenant's details. Fixed.
  • Home> Maintenance> open a task> click Tradesperson details> click back arrow or exit to return to the maintenance task was causing an error message #13. Fixed
  • Multiple transaction invoice was not showing transactions. Fixed.
  • BPay logo and description changed to match ANZ bank requirements.
  • Home> Tenancy> highlight a tenant> word merge> select Arrears type merge >Click Word merge Arrears was not merging correctly. Fixed
  • Home> System Maintenance> Bulletin Update screen buttons for Change Font and Change Text Colour have been removed. Font properties are now set using the pop-up toolbar.  Change Background Colour has been fixed.
  • In the event that a property has a room that was VUT for the reporting period, RentArrears will be non-existent, causing the RoomID to be null. This ultimately led to errors when uploading to AHO's portal. Fixed.
  • Tenancy Balances screen issues including Rent Balance Accrued, Tenancy Status As At Date and screen filtering for Tenants after As At Date - fixed.
  • Home> Audit> View Buffer Account> Export button was causing error #3131. Fixed.
  • Search Screen "Best Fit" - Doesn't save. Fixed.
  • NRS Compliance Report requires a name change in Chintaro to NRS Asset List as per NRS terminology. Fixed.
  • Property Type wrong - should be pulling 'Property Type' from Chintaro, currently using Accomodation Type from the NRS Reporting tab on the property. 'Accomodation Type' is not under NRS reporting. Fixed.
  • Rent Rebate Report issue - If the first day of the month and the last day of the month is VUT, the report shows 30/31 days VUT, even though there were other statuses between the two VUT periods. Fixed.
  • Error message #3078 when attempting to use Finance> GL Exports> Property Transactions. Fixed. 
  • Tenancy with All Client Details export issue - fixed (runs in open in excel now only).
  • Copied Maintenance Task showing in small window - fixed to show in full screen.
