Updated Sites And Behaviour For Payment Applications And Billing Statuses (25/1/2017)

Updated the Commitments tool so that payment applications now have two (2) separate billing dates a follows:

• Renamed the 'Billing Date' field on the Billing Statuses subtab to 'Due Date'. This date is set when an 'Admin' creates a new Billing Period and represents the cut off date for requisition creation. It is also used to pre-fill the 'Billing Date' field on all requisitions.

Updated payment applications for users with 'Admin' level permission now, as follows:

• You can now always change the 'Billing Date' on the most recent payment application.
• When you click 'Update', the system now redirects you to the payment application's view page (instead of the payment application's detail page).
