Invoicing & Payments 

Configurable Alerts can now be created to appear on the Transaction Data Entry and Journal Entry forms. Similar to other configurable alerts, these can be configured in the Tasks & Alerts Rule Set List by selecting "Financial Invoice" as the Applies To object. Administrators may create rules that trigger warnings to guide the user but still allow them to proceed, errors that do the same but are more attention-grabbing, or save-preventing errors which can be used to prevent an invoice or journal entry from being posted if a rule is violated. These alerts will appear in an Alerts panel in both the Transaction Data Entry and Journal Entry forms. Additionally, if any save-preventing alert rule would be violated during a bulk-post action, the invoice or journal that violated it will fail to post while the rest will proceed. This application of the rules to bulk posting is configurable, using CFGIgnoreSavePreventingAlertsInInvoiceBulkPosting (described below). This feature is available only in VIP.

New configuration flag: CFGIgnoreSavePreventingAlertsInInvoiceBulkPosting
Type: Boolean
Default value: N
Description: When enabled, Financial Invoice’s rules-based alerts and resulting save-preventing errors will not apply when bulk-posting invoices through Transaction Summary list, Post Invoices list or Post To Financials functionality in Voyage Cost Allocation and Demurrage Cost Allocation forms in VIP.
