Bug Fixes

Issue: If a Firm submits an XML LEDES file with "charge_type = F" (or Fixed) for an invoice line item, Collaborati will allow the Fixed rate line item to override the unit x rate calculation. On the Client side, the line item totals are validated against the rules and rates in the Client system. If the Client system does not recognize charge_type = F errors will be thrown on the invoice. It makes it appear that the calculations on the Collaborati side were wrong causing a discrepancy between the systems. Not all Clients want charge_type = F invoices to be allowed. There is a new setting in Collaborati to enable or disable LEDES invoices with charge_type = F.
Additional Information: There is a new Client Setting: Enable LEDES Invoices with charge_type = F. Only the M-Admin can edit this. A Firm Admin can view the setting but not edit it. The setting defaults to Off. If a Firm uploads an invoice with charge_type = F for a client that doesn't have the setting enabled, then they should receive an error message: "Invoices with charge type = F are not enabled for this Client"

Enhancements

Enhancement: CSM sync will populate the Home Office information 
Additional Information:
The sync will populate the Home Office from Collaborati to CSM on a Timekeeper if a Home Office exists for that Timekeeper and if the Home Office Timekeeper profile has been authorized.
Tracking Code: COLL-11608

Enhancement: Collaborati synchronization API has been updated to send fiscal year start date
Additional Information: Fiscal year start date should be synced from Collaborati to TeamConnect with a Firm is mapped to CSM for the first time. If the value for the fiscal year start date is updated in Collaborati, the updated value should be synced to TeamConnect.
Tracking Code: COLL-11614

Enhancement: For a single office Firm, when a new Timekeeper is added either manually or through bulk upload, the home office should be pre-populated with the only Firm Office.
Additional Information: When using bulk upload, if the home office field was left blank, the user should not get an error. Instead Collaborati should correctly populate the home office field with the Firm's only Office. If the wrong home office is input into that field, in the case of a single firm office, Collaborati should automatically correct the home office to the only Firm Office for that Firm.

Users don't have to submit the invoice but the can choose to submit the invoice anyway.

Updated rules to support firm offices without a zip code or tax ID number

To improve support for firm offices in locations where zip code or tax ID does not apply, Firm Administrators may now select a checkbox to set those fields as 'not applicable' on the Add Vendor and Vendor Profile screens. Validation for the rule “Zip Code and Tax ID cannot be the same” has been relaxed so that both fields can be set to N/A for offices with no zip code or tax ID number.
