Item Picker

Bug Fix

FFX-2057

We fixed an issue where a customer couldn’t add items using the FXL Item Picker. This error message is shown:

[FX Item Picker] Items could not be created. FX5.TicketItemTrigger:excution of BeforInsert caused by: System:NullPointerException: Attempt to dereference a null object

Custom Editor

Bug Fix

FFX-2067

We fixed an issue in Crew Planning Records when saving a new record, the user isn’t returned back to the job page.

EAM

Bug Fix

FFX-1929

We fixed a calculation in the Work Order Open Commit Qty Field so it calculates correctly. The incorrect calculation didn’t update the field when the Work Order is completed leaving the FX5__Open_Commit_Qty field still at 1.

FFX-1775

We fixed an issue so an Equipment Serial Number is mapped correctly when equipment is created. The serial number wasn’t being captured and was overwritten by the Equipment Name at equipment creation.

FFX-2135

We fixed an issue where the Planned Stock doesn’t get updated if the user creates a second Inventory Transaction for the same Stock Item in Mobile.

See note in Add an Inventory Transaction

Enhancement

FFX-2147

We have made an enhancement so after an upgrade to the FieldFX Managed Package, a new version of the Transfer Orders Flow is created.

Deep Copy

Bug Fix

FFX-1675

We have made a technical defect fix so the Deep Copy process is more flexible by allowing an underlying process to run either on a schedule or not at all. This change helps prevent UNABLE_TO_LOCK_ROW errors for customers running several concurrent deep copy processes.

For more information, see Note in How Deep Copy Works.

Email

New Feature

FFX-1828

We have added a new APEX component for sending emails using the Salesforce Email Templates.

We fixed an issue when a user selects one or many items from the Stock Item related list on Warehouse and they click Generate Transfer Orders, it walks through a couple screens but the last screen is blank and no record(s) are created.

EAM

Bug Fixes

We fixed an issue where when generating a Transfer In order, the generated transfer order line doesn’t have the reference to the correct stock item.

With this release, the stock is referenced in the warehouse and not the related warehouse. The inventory of the destination stock on hand quantity updates correctly once the full transfer cycle is complete.

We fixed an issue where when syncing a labor task after assigning the user/contact information with labor rates, a null value causes a null exception trigger error and the task doesn’t sync to the Back Office.
