Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an error (ClassCastException) when processing Billings/Payments.

  • A caching problem was introduced related to reconciling/unreconciling disbursements due to the performance improvements with disbursements on v2024.22.0. This was corrected on v2024.22.1 as well as properly setting the status on the disbursement when it was reconciled or unreconciled. The correction also included a patch to ensure the disbursement status was correct for any disbursements reconciled/unreconciled since the 2024.22.0 release.

Improvements

  • Created a listener in the code to rerun interrupted account change jobs so if an account change job is running and the application is restarted, upon restart, the in progress job(s) will resume.

  • Disbursement performance improvements ( average % )

    • Posting payables 58%

    • Void disbursement 66%, void disbursement and associated invoices 48%

    • Unvoid 47%

    • Reconcile/unreconcile 99%

      • Resequence 38%

      • Additional improvements have also been planned

  • Improve the flow of mass processing AR payments to allow user to remain on the Billing grid in order to continually post AR payments. The AR Billing grid now has an optional checkbox image-20241125-161633.png that when selected, the application will remain in the Billing area after posting payments instead of the system navigating to the Payment grid.

Bug Fixes

  • An issue with Mass Change being used to update Payroll Item maximum values was corrected. Situations where employees did not have an existing value in the ‘max fields’ were causing an error.

  • An update was made to the pay slip service so the system will now retrieve pay slips from the File Archive (if they existed before generating a new PDF in USPS). So, if going to ESS and the View/Print Payslip option is selected, you should see a difference in the way the pay slips look. Those pay slips from ‘Classic’ payrolls will pull from the File Archive. Those pay slips from ‘Redesign' payrolls, will be generated from history and use the form defined in USPS.

When viewing or editing a leave record in the grid, all 3 leaves are displayed. If an employee is ineligible for a given leave type, the heading for that leave type will state INELIGIBLE.

Bug Fixes

  • When users created acquisitions prior to the Item’s acquisition date, this resulted in the detail/summary schedule of change in fixed asset reports not matching when an acquisition was in a prior fiscal year. Corrected the acquisition amounts on GAAP reports where the item’s acquisition date is before the acquisition's date.

  • Corrected the error thrown when attempting to select from the pending items drop down when creating a new item. Prior changes to correct grid loading problems didn’t properly handle the pending item drop down and the recent addition of the PO/Invoice/Received date fields exposed the problem.

Improvements

  • Added the following dates to the Pending Items grid: purchase order date, invoice date and received date. These dates can be added to the grid via the MORE button and are sortable and filterable.

  • FYE Bundle improvements

    • All reports generated in the bundle will now include the report options page.

    • The Fiscal Year Ending Balances Report has been improved to

      • Sort the fund, function and asset class values in sequential order

      • Generate with the correct report filename. Previously it was called Closing Balance Report, it is now named “Fiscal Year Ending Balance Report”

Bug Fixes

Leave Related

  • Leave Requests: Internal- Handle 1 character sub categories 1027 15.0 

    • We weren’t taking the sub category of 1 character into consideration so we fixed it to no longer enforce the sub category has to be 2 characters. 

  • Leave Requests: Correctly handle supervisor information in leave request form 989 15.0

    • If a supervisor has been changed, the employee LR form was not reflecting the current supervisor, it will still reflect the former supervisor.  This has been corrected.

  • Leave Calendars: Temporary disabled the Leave Calendar PDF report that was released on ESS 2024.15.0 due to a memory leak in the report that could cause the application to crash. 1051 on 15.1 hotfix

  • Leave Requests: Creation- remove archived positions 1012 16.0

    • When creating an LR, and selecting position (if you have multiple), you will no longer see archived positions.

  • Leave Management>Export Leave History: Correct sort for categories in Export Leave History 1057 16.0

    • Fixed the category column on the LR Export History grid (when viewing a particular export) to sort correctly.

  • Leave Management>Absence Thresholds: Correct calculations for Absence Thresholds 1053 16.0

    • Fixed the absence threshold calculations.

...

  • Check for missing absence reason id when importing leave from Absence Management and check for missing absence reason id in the Absence Reason data sync grid 1073 16.0

    • Absences pulled into ESS from AESOP are showing on the absence reason grid but weren’t showing up on the calendars or leave requests area in ESS.  It was determine there was a missing absence reason ID from AESOP but the message wasn’t appearing on when viewing the absence reason gridvia data import view.  This has been fixed so the ‘processed message’ field should state “absence reason does not contain an absence reason ID’.

...

  • Email service updated to handle a user with no USPS employee assigned when canceling a LR 1050 15.0

    • If the ADMIN role (who isn’t a USPS employee) changes an approver on the grid, they received an error since this user isn’t an employee of the district.  It shouldn’t prevent them from making the change so we corrected this.

    • No longer generates an error. Instead, the user (with no employee ID assigned) will receive an email detailing the leave was canceled by the user (include first and last name).

  • Internal: Set the Vaadin close idle session property to true.  1067 15.2 hotfix

    • Corrected this as we noticed while testing, it was keeping a session open longer than it should

  • Allow admin and external users to be selected in the grid for Lock and Unlock options. These users will be automatically excluded (with a warning) if included in the Bulk Password operation. 1085 16.1

  • Leave Requests Grid: Handle missing email addresses when canceling leave requests 1037 15.0

    • Tied to a unique situation but has been Improved.  An admin account w/o an email address was assigned to a group and when the originator canceled the LR, they received an error due to the admin not being able to receive an email that the LR was cancelled.  This has been improved so that there is no longer an error generated and the app log indicates a warning that the user doesn’t have an email address.  

  • Leave Calendar PDF Report - rewrite report to use Jasper Grid Details (corrects memory leak from 2024.15.0 release) 1054 16.0

  • Leave Calendar PDF Report - conditionally show printer friendly option 1043 16.0

    • Improved this so you should only see if exporting to PDF.

  • Add option to Leave Management>Export Leave Requests to include / exclude items to be extracted 953 16.0

    • Improved the export to allow you to select certain LRs to export (in case you have a situation where an approved leave should not be exported).  This gives district the option to exclude those LRs from the export so they can be canceled later.
