v16.4.6

Bug Fixes

• Adds an upgrade patch that removes the employee_self_service entry from user_type_doctype_limit in the site configuration, so upgrades no longer apply the old doctype limit to Employee Self Service users. It keeps any existing custom doctype limits for other user types and only updates the setting when user_type_doctype_limit is already present. (#4268)
• Updates the approver fields (Expense Approver, Leave Approver, and Shift Request Approver) on Employee to ignore User permissions, so people can view their own Employee record and details even when they can’t access the related User accounts. Applies this same permission setting during the v15.0 upgrade so existing installations pick up the fix. (#4290)
• Updates Attendance Request so the overlap check also filters by Shift, so requests for the same dates but different shift types no longer trigger an overlap conflict.
  Adds shift validation that considers only active shift assignments, auto-fills Shift when there is just one match in the request period, and prompts you to pick Shift when multiple shifts apply. (#4303)
• Moves the self-approval check for Leave Application to run on "Save" when Status is set to "Approved", instead of during "Submit".
  This prevents users who are not allowed to self-approve from saving their own leave request as "Approved", avoiding the earlier moment where the status appeared approved. (#4305)

• Updates Expense Claim so only Employee Advance records that belong to the employee on the claim are available to select.

• Blocks saving a Expense Claim with advances from another employee by showing a validation error and clearing the incorrect advance entries. (#4276)

• Moves the self-approval check for Leave Application to run on "Save" when Status is set to "Approved", instead of during "Submit".
  This prevents users who are not allowed to self-approve from saving their own leave request as "Approved", avoiding the earlier moment where the status appeared approved. (#4304)
• When you mark attendance for more than 10 days, the system now saves the first 10 records immediately and queues the rest in the background. This prevents long waits and reduces time-out errors during large updates. (#4245)

v16.4.5

Bug Fixes

• Calculates the reimbursed amount in Expense Claim correctly by excluding the original advance payment, so the resulting payment entry no longer overpays the employee. (#4248)
• Payroll Entry now records cash payments as "Cash Entry" and bank payments as "Bank Entry," preventing misclassification of cash transactions. (#4250)
• When you mark attendance for more than 10 days, the system now saves the first 10 records immediately and queues the rest in the background. This prevents long waits and reduces time-out errors during large updates. (#4246)
• Improves internal automated tests for Attendance Request by removing test holiday entries before creating a leave application; this change does not affect everyday use. (#4258)
