Note

Please be aware of the following important points about upgrading to v12.10:

  • Before upgrading, please ensure that no pay batches are being processed in the Payroll module. All pay batches must be closed before attempting to proceed with the upgrade.

We then cleanse to remove spaces and store it ready to support SMS services. As phone numbers can also be imported (for example via an API) in this release we have introduced logic to validate, cleanse and store the number.
