Starting from version 2019.10, APM requires one of the following drivers to be installed on your workstation:
-ODBC Driver for SQL Server (v.13 or higher)
Or
-SQL Native Client (v.11 or higher)
Please note that if you are using Brightwell Plugin, it should be updated to ver. 2020.6.4.2 or higher to work properly with APM 2020.40.
Release Highlights
The system now supports the Finish tax calculation and it contains the modifications needed to support the electronic interface to the Finish Incomes Register. The final implementation of this interface will be made available in a plugin later this year.
New in 2020.50 is the possibility to define payroll periods per vessel, and the possibility to define the next payroll period when closing the current period. This function is to be used when the payroll periods have variable length and are linked to the vessels voyages. This is only available when running the payroll on vessel level, and the new option period by voyage is enabled. The "close months" is replaced with the function "new Period".
In 2020.50 we have upgraded the application to the latest Delphi version 10.4., tested all modules and upgraded those components that needed the upgrade.
In the Resolved Issues below you may find the details of the various issues included in this release. New in this release is the functionality to run the payroll by vessel. The payroll period can be different from vessel to vessel. The payroll calculations made onboard vessel A will not affect the other vessel's payroll transactions.
In this mode, the payroll can not be executed or closed in the office. The payroll onboard includes: calculating closing and opening a new payroll period.
This new functionality allows the end-user to generate, open and close the payroll periods dynamically and with various length.
Release 2020.60 is a maintenance release containing various bug fixes and smaller change requests:
Most of the new functionality, if possible, is implemented as an APM Plugin. A Plug-in allows us to release new functionality outside the APM release plan.
Some of the new functionality ;
1) Oracle Crew Folio interface, used to import the crew members portfolios into APM as Payroll transaction;
2) ShipMoney interface - an alternative to the traditional bank transfers. For more information check out the following web site: https://shipmoneycorporate.com/
We have started developing version 2021.10, which contains implementing handling the multiple labour contracts and employment relations during a payroll period. We expect to have the functionality in-place for full in release 2021.20.
