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
that when selected, the application will remain in the Billing area after posting payments instead of the system navigating to the Payment grid.

USPS Releases
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.

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. The Detail Schedule of Change in Fixed Assets and report was not including items where the acquisition date on the item record is prior to the acquisition 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 Sort the fund, function and asset class values in sequential order
generate 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.

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 when viewing the absence via data import view. This has been fixed so the ‘processed message’ field should state “absence reason does not contain an absence reason ID’.
Miscellaneous
Email service updated to handle a user with no USPS employee assigned when canceling a LR 1050 15.0
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).

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.

Create background process to clean orphaned workflow processes 539 16.0
District reported multiple emails being sent out for a single leave request, as well as the approval trail showing multiple cancel and submission records from editing a single group/chain.

This issue created a new feature behind the scenes that automatically and routinely delete extra workflows, so that there will only ever be a single running workflow process for a given leave request.
