When systems are first setup, an administrator group is created by default. Some customers change the name of this and later may not use it as an administrator group.

Changes will be implemented to ensure that there is always a top level administrator group which our accounts will be linked to, as well as the default customer administrator accounts and this will not be able to be changed.

A change will be made to introduce a new field to store the correct proportionate value of the line when compared to the delivery total, which would show 1 or 100% in the example above.
