The Access Definitiv version 3.19 release introduces a wide range of enhancements to many areas of the software, including Rostering and Payroll.
These enhancements have been introduced to add additional functionality and features for all users.
Rostering
It is no longer possible to remove a Deleted Work Schedule entry from a roster, preventing employees from being scheduled on shifts that are not visible to Rostering Managers.
Work restrictions can now be saved without entering minimum or maximum hours when threshold checkboxes are disabled.
Roster entry dialogs now close as expected after saving changes to prevent duplicate shifts from being created.
The Time Selector has been enhanced to resolve a number of issues, including multiple attempts being required to save when entering a time
Resolved excessive API calls that occurred when reassigning shifts in rostering.
Roster email notifications now correctly group new and updated shifts separately for easier understanding.
Work schedule shifts can no longer be directly edited to prevent scheduling conflicts.
Additional empty rows no longer appear in the role view when using day or calendar views.
Error messages now properly display when copying shifts to employees who are no longer in that position.
Grouping Headers enhancement
The Grouping Headers feature has been significantly enhanced with interactive collapse/expand functionality and dynamic totals calculation for groupings. It is now easier to manage rosters with collapsible groups and real-time cost aggregations.
Individual roster groups can now be collapsed and expanded to make large rosters easier to navigate, or use the Collapse All button to manage large rosters more efficiently.
Sub-groups remember their collapsed or expanded state when parent groups are modified, maintaining your preferred view during roster management.
Cost totals automatically recalculate when grouping selections are changed, providing real-time insights into roster costs by cost center.
These cost totals are not shown in the Print View
Group Headers prevent users from selecting the same grouping criteria twice (e.g., cannot group by Project and sub-group by Project), ensuring clear roster organization.
Employee
The Timesheet modal will now load if a PH Not Worked timesheet has been entered over Scheduled Leave.
The Show Scheduled checkbox in Timesheets/Team Timesheets is available on all user profiles.
Reporting
The Compliance Report will show the correct verification status of the compliance.
A header is now included in the Employee Additions & Deductions report to denote percentage based pay items where the rate is not yet calculated.
Time & Attendance report now populates the Submitted by Column with the TimeClock name or Personal TimeClock if used.
Fixed an issue where the incorrect Employment Status was being shown in the PDF Reporting.
Payroll
The Delete option on Custom Fields has been removed. The fields will only be able to be disabled.
Removed the incorrect STP warning about a previous financial year for an Opening Balance payrun.
Rate for Cash out Everything will now be displayed. If multiple rates are detected, the word multiple will be displayed.
Resolved issue where User Defined messages from a previous award policy were displayed in the payroll calculations.
Updated the description to Post 17 Aug 93 Long Service Leave pay items, where applicable.
Tax declaration cease dates are now automatically updated when commencement dates are changed to ensure no gaps in tax declaration coverage.
Superannuation batches that have not yet been lodged can now be reopened from closed status.
Fixed payroll calculation errors that occurred when employees had no primary project as of the payment date and blocked all calculations.
This will now only block affected calculations and provide a specific error message.
Changes in other areas
The issue in Project Work Orders not being able to be updated has been rectified.
