Operational Bidding

Release notes for the creation and use of operational bids.

Version Type Description ID
21.1.0.0 ENH When configuring operational bids for roster bids, the Number Needed is now automatically populated based on the number of available rosters. OPS-23378
21.1.0.0 CORR An issue where rosters created manually for extraboard operational bids within a sign up period weren't extended if the sign up period was extended has been fixed. OPS-24907
21.1.0.0 ENH Critical: In the OPS Work Assignment Rules screen, in the Applications list, an Operational Bidding option has been added. This allows for Work Assignment Rules to be applied to bidding without affecting operational bidding and vice versa; and fixes issues where rules weren't applied to Operational Bids.

An upgrade utility (v22) is available.

 OPS-23932
21.1.0.0 ENH An issue where work assignment rules weren't working as expected for operational bids (because work before the operational bid period wasn't checked) has been fixed. OPS-24831
21.1.0.0 ENH Critical: Messages have been updated for consistency when creating vacation relief package in the Work Planner screen and operational bids. OPS-24941
21.2.0.0 CORR Critical: An issue in operational bids where automatically created absence quotas for different divisions were combined in the Number Needed column has been fixed. OPS-24948
21.4.1.0 CORR Issues with Operational Bidding, where the Operational Bidding screen Bidding Request Details tab was misaligned and the Operational Bid Vacation Relief report didn't display multiple pieces as expected have been fixed. OPS-25812
21.10.0.0 ENH

After creating rosters in OPS Roster Management for an operational extraboard bid, the Regenerate Quota and Reload functions now automatically generate quotas for the new rosters. This change brings the functionality of Operational Bidding in line with regular roster Bidding.

 OPS-27031
21.16.0.0 CORR

Fixed an issue where the bid unit of an extraboard operator did not revert to the original one after deleting a hold-down in Operation Bid or Work Planner.

Added functionality to store the previous bid unit of an extraboard operator in Operational Bid to facilitate this.

 OPS-27911
21.16.0.0 CORR Fixed an issue in Operational Bid where creating a new Hold Down operational bid and performing an employee bid would result in a system error. OPS-28182
21.17.0.0 CORR Fixed an issue with deleting operational bids that affected manually created extraboard rosters in OPS Bidding. The issue caused rosters to be deleted even if they were not part of the operational bid, and bid work references to remain after roster deletion.

The solution prevents deleting rosters that are not associated with the operation bid and improves validation and backing up of data when deleting operational bids.

 OPS-28169
21.20.0.0 CORR Critical: Issues where Work Assignment Rules did not show validation errors for Off Time Between Days rule types as expected were fixed.

Now, when bidding for Vacation Relief Packages using an Open Run operational bid and holiday work assignments, validation is triggered for defined Off Time Between Days rules.

21.37.0.0 CORR An issue where hold-down operational bids were assigned different bid units based on the bidding method (Bidding screen Employee Bid wizard or OPS-Web) was fixed. Now, bidding employees inherit the held-down employee’s bid unit. The OPS > Timekeeping > Inherit Bid Unit > Hold Down property is used to indicate the bid unit that should be used for hold-down employees for timekeeping purposes. OPS-31129
