Unvoid a voided disbursementdisbursement
USAS nowAs of the (January 19th) 2024.0.0 release, USAS has the ability to Unvoid unvoid a voided disbursement going forward in 2024 in certain circumstances. The under certain circumstances. In order for a voided disbursement to be eligible for the unvoid process:
the voided disbursement date must be after the 2024.0.0 release. Any voided disbursement dated prior to this release does not have the necessary information saved on the InvoiceItemId and therefore cannot be unvoided.
the type of the voided disbursement may be for a payment on a purchase order, a refund or a payroll disbursement.
the
voided disbursement
When voiding a disbursement, the user also has a choice to 'Void Invoice Items' or not. The ‘Void Invoice Items’ is check marked as a default, but the user may uncheck this if needed. This checkmark will void (or cancel) the associated invoice items during the void process. This voided/cancelled invoice now allows the Purchase Order item to have a status of being invoiceable, and the user would be able to create another AP invoice, if needed. The user may also delete this invoice from the AP invoice grid if needed.
On the other hand, the user may also uncheck the box ‘Void Invoice Items’ if the invoice items should NOT be voided. By unchecking the box, the invoice will be re-displayed in Transactions>Payables. At this point, the invoice in payables could be edited under the menu AP Invoice if needed or deleted if desired.
When the user wants to Un-Void a voided disbursement, if the invoice(s) was deleted when voided or if any of these items were paid on another disbursement, the user will NOT be able to Unvoid the original disbursement.
============
The reason this option is not available for voided disbursements dated prior to 2024 is due to USAS not tracking the invoiceItemId prior to this update.
conditions: The voided disbursement may be Unvoided as long as the disbursement void date? is in an Open Posting Period, the voided disbursement was processed after the v2024.0.0 USAS release, the Un-void? date is in an open period, and the invoices were not deleted or the items repaid on another disbursement, the voided disbursement may be Un-voided.
To Unvoid, you would ……select the voided disbursement from the disbursement grid. Click the Unvoid button. A confirmation box will pop up for the user to Confirm or Cancel the Unvoid process.
Article #4
Inventory Splits - Michellemust be dated in an open posting period. This requirement keeps the figures on the accounts and the data on the reports accurate because once a transaction is created or edited in an open period, upon closure of the posting period, the accounts and reports are updated.
Other limitations on unvoiding a voided disbursement would be if the invoices were deleted following the void process or if any of the items on the voided disbursement were paid on another disbursement.
If the invoices were deleted during or after the void process, the user will not be able to unvoid the voided disbursement due to the (deleted) invoice no longer being on the system. The user will receive the following error message when attempting to unvoid a voided disbursement that has deleted invoices:
The user will also receive the following error message if the voided disbursement included items that were paid on another disbursement.
Tip: To determine if any items on the voided disbursement were paid on another disbursement, view
the voided disbursement from the disbursement grid to determine if 
is checked. This field can also be added as a column on the disbursement grid (via the ‘More’ button) which allows you to easily filter on voided disbursements to see if the void qualifies to be unvoided.
How to Unvoid a Voided Disbursement
If the voided disbursement is eligible to be unvoided, the user would select the disbursement from the disbursement grid and click the 
button. A confirmation box will pop up for the user to Confirm or Cancel the unvoid process.
When the user confirms to unvoid and it is successful, the user receives an informational message that the disbursement was unvoided. The check is now back at an outstanding status.
What if my voided disbursement is not eligible for the unvoid process?
If the voided disbursement is not eligible for the unvoid process, an alternative would be to create a new check from the purchase order or invoice depending on whether or not the 'Void Invoice Items' option was chosen when the check was voided. If the same check number needs to be used, the previous check can be resequenced to a different check number so that the original number can be used on the reissued check.
Improved Split Functionality in Inventory
With the recent 2024.1.0 inventory release, additional improvements were made to the Split Item feature in Transactions>Items. To highlight some of the enhancements that were made, let’s run through an example of splitting an item. In my example below, I need to split out benches to each building, assigning three tags - one set for the elementary, one set for the middle school and three sets (under one tag) for the JH/HS building.
After clicking ‘Split’, I can leave the original tag number as my starting number (as long as the sequential tag numbers aren’t currently being used) and select the number of new tags (allows up to 5 since that is my current ‘number of items’). The original cost displayed on the split item window provides a helpful reminder of the item’s original amount pre-split. To validate the tag numbers that will be assigned, click 'validate input’. If no errors are generated, click on ‘edit items’ to edit the split information before performing the split.
At this point, I have the ability to change or add information to each planned split. By changing the ‘# of New Tags’, it automatically calculates the new original cost. I can add serial and model numbers as well as assign an existing organizational code and/or location code for each tag. The ‘Total Items’ and ‘Total Cost’ display near the bottom of the screen should match the original item's total number of items and original cost. Click ‘Validate Input’ to ensure any updates made are valid. If no errors are generated, the ‘Validate Input’ button is replaced with a ‘Split Item’ button.
However, before performing the actual split, we recommend running a ‘projection’ report to verify the split information is correct. Ensure ‘projection’ is checked and click on Split Item. Review the projection report.
If the projection report looks correct, refer back to the split item window (still open). Uncheck ‘projection’ and click ‘Split Item’ again to perform the actual split. The data on the split report should be identical to the projection report.
Afterwards, you can review the newly split items by filtering them on the Items grid
