Check before and after the release

1

Materials On/Off-Site (MOS) claims in subcontract claims (Beta)

The changes apply automatically, with no new parameters or configuration. Entering MOS claim details is unchanged.

Before final payment: review the MOS screen and reduce any remaining MOS authorised amounts to zero, by entering a zero amount in Claimed to Date for each MOS item.

This feature stays in Beta for this release. If you would like to start using it, contact your usual support channel so your usage can be monitored.

2

Head Contract (HC) Variation approvals

Directly editing an approved variation in the Variation register is turned off by default. An administrator can turn it on by setting position 3 of the HCVAPP parameter to Y. If a price is changed after approval, the user is prompted to resend for approval.

Rejecting an approved variation that has already been transferred can adjust Contract and Forecast Revenue. Job values are updated with the difference between the Expected and Approved Price.

3

Nominated Subcontractor checkbox is now hidden

The checkbox Is this Agreement for a Nominated Subcontractor in SC Agreement Maintenance is hidden by default. If your organisation needs it, set system parameter SAGMNT position 17 to Y.

4

PTA and RTA reports

The report format changes are on automatically. To run the PTA or RTA Bank Reconciliation you need to enter the Statement Balance and the Statement Date. If you run it for a past date, also set the Reporting dates at the top of the screen to include transactions only up to that date.

Action the transactions in your Trust Journal Work Center that relate to the bank account you are reconciling. Retention Transfers, Paid from Wrong Account and Received to Wrong Account transactions need a posted Trust journal or a Transferred flag, otherwise they are likely to show as Outstanding.

5

Jobpac API developer guide has moved

The previous API guide is retired. Update any bookmarks or internal links to https://api-doc.jobpac.com.au/. There are no changes to the API itself, and existing integrations continue to work as before.

 

Important

The PTA and RTA Bank Reconciliation is not the same as, and does not replace, your actual bank reconciliation. It reconciles the Bank Account sections of your PTA and RTA Ledgers to the physical bank balance.

Tip

Test new parameter setups in your test environment first. An activated parameter affects all users, so consider letting users know before you change one that affects their workflow.

What is new

Subcontracts and claims
Simplified MOS claims (Beta) Every MOS claim from all previous subcontract claims for the life of the project shows on the MOS screen. A pop-up reminds you to reduce MOS authorised amounts to zero before final payment.
TPR flag lock-down Optionally protect the Taxable Payments Reporting flag at Subcontract level, in addition to the existing AP Invoice protection.
3rd party claim portal audit Click the pop-out icon next to the Audit flag in Job Maintenance or Subcontract Maintenance to see who last changed the Payapps/Earlytrade setting. This setting should not be changed after the claims process has started without support advice.
Nominated Subcontractor checkbox Hidden by default, with a parameter to show it again.
Head Contract variations
HC Variation approvals Reject an approved variation from the Approval screen, transfer a variation after it has been sent for approval, and see new Variation Budget and Margin columns on the Approval Details tab. When an approver rejects a variation, the sender receives an email with the reason, and the variation keeps its own status.
Accounts Payable
Related Content for Dockets A new Docket upload in Delivery Docket Entry. Attachments flow through with the PO and show under the Docket tab in Related Content during invoice processing.
Email audit for more forms New tabs appear in the email Audit Enquiry and in AP Enquiry Related Content. The ability to activate the new forms (AP Remittance, Purchase Order, SC Payment Advice and SC Front sheet) comes in a later release.
One click to PO Matching A new button on the Prepare Invoices for Approval Details screen opens PO Matching.
Internal credit delete Deleting a pending Internal Credit in Prepare Invoices for Approval now deletes it completely, so the credit invoice number can be reused.
BPAY filter A BPAY reporting filter is now in the Cash Flow Requirements by Creditor Report.
NZBN in creditor scans A New Zealand Business Number column and filter appear in the Creditor Scan pop-up. The column shows only for companies configured for NZ.
Pending Invoice Report In the Excel format, Job/Location and Job/Location Description are now in the first two columns of each line, so filtering by job or location is easier.
Reporting
PTA and RTA reports The RTA Ledger is reformatted to match QBCC requirements, the PTA and RTA Bank Reconciliations are rewritten, and the PTA and RTA Ledgers and Subcontractor Statements can be run for an individual creditor.
PTRS Report More columns on the TCP dataset (Order, Order Type, RCTI Used, RCTI Issue Date) and a combined Creditor/Order Terms column. Payment times use the RCTI issue date where one exists.
Creditor Details List A new ABN Small Business column in the PDF and Excel formats (column AY in Excel).
Project Costs, Cost Type Report A new Excel output option.
General Ledger and assets
GL Enquiry A right-click Show Transactions option on any month in the Monthly view, and a new Description filter on the transaction listing.
Asset depreciation overrides A new Copy Classification Default action fills in the BK and TAX depreciation details from the asset classification, so you only change the rate and save.
Payroll, HR and administration
QuickSuper date format A parameter exports all dates in the QuickSuper CSV extract as YYYY-MM-DD.
Menu User Maintenance A new Email Address tab lets you check and conditionally edit a user's email address before sending the Welcome Email. This does not change the user's Trimble ID. Users change their Trimble Identity email on the Trimble ID myprofile page.
Mark Dates as Reviewed A new function on the Project Dates screen. The last update user and timestamp are audited.
HR Incident Register A new Related Content upload for incident documentation.
Work Id Copy Enquiry Sorted by scheduled date and scheduled time, newest first.
Mobile, help and API
Mobile Approvals activation The Mobile User Setup screen has a small change that lets you activate Mobile Approvals for a mobile user. Mobile Approvals will let users approve POs, Invoices, Subcontracts, Subcontract Payments and SC Variations in the Jobpac Mobile app.
Trimble Assistant The help agent moves from CoPilot to Agentic, for more accurate and easier to follow responses.
API developer documentation Rebuilt on the OpenAPI Specification with an interactive, searchable interface.
CreateANewDebtor API An optional ABN parameter lets you supply an Australian Business Number when creating a debtor.
