Previously, some clients could not grant access to the VIP Power BI integration because its Azure Active Directory application was not requesting the appropriate set of permissions for certain admin approval workflows.

On the hire invoices, a voyage number must be specified on the line item in order to select a Provisional Trans No. Just like the existing provisional invoicing functionality, using this field moves money on the Voyage P&L from the provisional invoice to the new invoice.
