ARM is now compatible with Kinetic 2025.2 running on Window and Linux.
Cab Update Requirements
A new CAB update is required to accommodate enhancements related to the increased Project ID length, Job Miscellaneous line updates, Account Payable Revision and Customer Cross Reference improvements.

AP Enhancement
ARM now supports adding job miscellaneous lines and job charges directly within Accounts Payable.

Draft Invoice Validation Changes
Previously, when a Tax ID was specified for a Vendor and a different Tax ID was entered on a Draft Invoice, a warning message was displayed to the user.
ARM has now replaced the warning with an error message to prevent the user from proceeding if there is a mismatch between the Vendor’s Tax ID and the one on the invoice’s Tax ID.
Tolerance Checking Enhancement
Vendor and Vendor Group have been added to the Assignment Types in Assignments to provide more options for tolerance checks.
Default Purchase Point for Catalogue Line Items
If a Supplier has a primary Purchase Point, then this is the default Purchase Point used for a Catalogue Line Item on a requisition, when that Supplier (Vendor) is selected.
