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
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 changer 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. or ;
2) Ship money 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.
