Audit Jobs in USxS-R for District & SOC1 Audits
To assist ITC's and Districts with submitting reports to the Auditor of State (AOS), two new Audit Jobs have been created. The Audit Jobs can be set up to zip these requested files and securely send them via secure file transfer protocol (sftp). In order to send sftp, the Application Configuration under the System>Configuration menu must be set to Production Instance Type with User Job Execution Enabled.
The two new Audit Jobs are named the SOC1 Audit Job and the District Audit Job. The zipped files will include the entity's IRN, fiscal year, and the time and date the file was created. The Audit Jobs are created under the Utilities>Job Scheduler menu in both USAS-R and USPS-R and scheduled with a cron expression by the user. Once created and scheduled, the next run date and time will be reflected in the Job Scheduler for each of the Audit Jobs. When the Audit Jobs are executed, the files will be stored under the Utilities>File Archive menu and accessible under a new Audit Reports tab. NOTE: The user must have the MODULE_FILE_AUDITREPORT permission in order to run the bundle.
The SOC1 Audit Job used by ITC's include the same reports for both USxS-R applications:
- SSDT User Listing AOS Extract
- SSDT Authentication and Password Requirement Configuration Report
- SSDT Default Breaking Detection and Evasion Rule Report
The USPS-R District Audit Job is part of the FYE closing checklist - Post Fiscal Year Closing steps. It will generate the following reports for the previous fiscal year (FY22) based on the current period (FY23).
- AOS Employee Report
- AOS Payment History Report
- AOS Payment Distribution Report
The USAS-R District Audit Job is part of the FYE closing checklist - Post Fiscal Year Closing steps. It will generate the following reports for the previous fiscal year (FY22) based on the current period (FY23).

Requisition Approval Workflow and Attachments Requisitions in USAS-R can include attachments. However, did you know that the Requisition Approval Workflow module also allows users in the workflow group chain to view attachments on requisitions while approving requisitions? As long as the user has permissions to approve requisitions, these attachments can be viewed. The types of files that can be attached are not limited either. You can attach a word document, a quote in a pdf format, a purpose & budget excel spreadsheet, and even a picture of your school’s logo in a .jpg format. These files can be attached when the user enters the requisition by locating the button below the requisition items to either drop or select the files needed. After the requisition is converted to a purchase order, these attachments will still be attached to the requisition for easy access or to view again. Although these attachments are currently only attached to the requisition, the requisitions that include attachments can easily be identified on the requisition grid utilizing the advanced query. By setting up the advanced query so the (attachment’s) filename is not null (not empty), the requisition grid will be populated with all requisitions that contain files attached once Apply Query is clicked. You can also save the advanced query to use again by entering a name for your query and clicking Save Query. In the future, you can then click on Load Saved Query, choose your query using the dropdown, and Apply Query to populate the requisition grid with requisitions that include attachments. |

The following terminology is used to determine where in the implementation process the entity is currently at:
Implementing: The ITC is running test imports and balancing reports on the entity. The district and ITC are working to schedule dates to begin dual processing and go live.
Paralleling: The entity is inputting all production transactions into both Classic and Redesign.
Live: The entity is using Redesign for production processing; no parallel processing is being performed; Classic is available in 'read-only' mode.
