  • Issue 1: GP freezes when you add a new account in the Account Maintenance window.

Important note about installing the Hotfix:

If you install the latest build from our website and if that build is less than the build noted above for the version you are on, it will clear out the Hotfix fixes you previously installed. This means you will need to re-install the Hotfix again to resolve the bugs identified above.

Note:

If you are not able to install the Hotfix now, there are a couple of work arounds the Users can try and verify if they will work for them or not:

  • Workarounds for Issue 1:

    • Option 1: The User can disconnect their session from Chrome. Then log back in and choose reconnect. Then they should be able to create the account.
    • Option 2: Use Internet Explorer (IE) instead of Chrome.
  • Workaround for Issue 2:

    • Option 1: The User can disconnect their session from IE. Then log back in and choose reconnect. Then they should be able to create the account.
    • Option 2: Add the Account Number by going directly to the Account Maintenance window under the Financials series.
    • Option 3: Use Chrome instead of IE.
  • Workaround for Issue 3:

    • The User can close the browser. Then log back into GP on the web client or desktop client, remove the locked User ID, and then finish logging into GP.
