Critical updates in this release
| Feature area | Issue Name | Issue Description | Fix implemented |
|---|---|---|---|
| Invoicing | Invoice revision by a user other than the invoice creator fails with privilege exception. As a result, the invoice can't be revised by a user other than the invoice creator. | When the user that created the original invoice loses privileges or leaves the organization, no other user can handle corrections for that invoice. | The fix defaults the invoice owner to the logged in user that is performing an action. |
