Version: 2022.6.8.2
New Features
We have replaced the deprecated "Postcode anywhere" address lookup and retrieval service with the new version from "GBG Loqate". This is replaced in both the web version of Expenses and in the Expenses Mobile App. New build properties were no longer being added to the database for the older Postcode Anywhere system but now that this is replaced, addresses for employee records and mileage claims should be successfully identified. (187616, 187370)
We have updated the new "GBG Loqate" address retrieval service to include address coordinates for those countries where it is not possible to look up and retrieve address details using a postcode. (187679)
We have updated the summary grid in the Countries menu to replace the reference to "Postcode Anywhere". Now the field displays as "Postcode Lookup" to indicate whether addresses can be looked up by postcode in the country configured for use in the Expenses system. (187704)
We have updated the Tailoring General Options field descriptions in the "Addresses and Distances". The new field names are, "Enable address lookup service" and "Distance calculation type". Previously, the fields referred to the name of the address lookup service provider. (187975)
We have added a new feature to the imports/exports section for the administrator to allow an import log to be viewed for any file that is manually imported to the system, or for any corporate card statement uploaded using one of the automatic daily card statement feeds. (187558)
We've added an extra column to the employee work addresses summary page for the employee's nominated work address location. The change is only applicable for NHS databases and the column will not show in the summary page for any government or commercial client systems. (187676)
We have updated the API documentation to reflect more accurately the function of the "PATCH Addresses/{id}/Archive/{archive}" end point. Previously, it indicated that the selected address would be deleted, instead of archived. (187769)
- We have added a new option that can be configured for a mileage expense item. The new option will allow a home to nominated base deduction for every mileage journey step. This will be able to be used for relocation mileage where an employee has a nominated base but may be rotating to different work addresses on placement or secondment. An example may be a junior doctor on rotation to different hospitals or clinics. (187854)
- We have added a new option to allow the home to nominated base distance to be deducted when claiming a mileage expense item. The new option will allow the home to nominated base deduction for every mileage journey step. This will be able to be used for relocation mileage where an employee has a nominated base but may be rotating to different work addresses on placement or secondment. An example may be a junior doctor on rotation to different hospitals or clinic. (187702)
Bug Fixes
- We have replaced the PostCodeAnywhere postcode lookup service with the latest version from GBG Loqate. Now, address line 1 should always be returned. (58565)
- We've updated the flag management option so that a claimant viewing their submitted or previous claims can now view the approver's justification for allowing an item to be reimbursed when the potential duplicate flag rule is indicated for the item. Previously, the claimant would only see their own justification. (143816)
- We have fixed an issue in the mileage journey grid so that clicking on the office icon will only display the current work addresses. Typing the key word for the work address will however return the claimant's work addresses, and any address containing the keyword. (147968)
- We have updated the grid for the flag policy items. Previously the grid width only displayed correctly for the first page of items. Now, the summary of expense items associated with the flag displays correctly on pages 2 onwards. (152001)
- We have updated the API documentation to more accurately reflect the function of the GET Currency Exchange Rates end point. Previously, it was described incorrectly in the documentation as a POST call. (156568)
- We've made an improvement to the address option so that if an address already exists it will display to the user if they try to add it to the system again. (161234)
- We have updated the mileage functionality so that where a claimant has multiple work addresses the mileage journey steps are not restricted to selection of just one. Previously, if more than one work address was selected, the system assumed and only allowed one work address so that all work addresses in the journey would be the same. (188053)
