Activity Ledger Configuration

If initialized, indicates Activity Ledgers should be cleared and reposted at startup.

Application Configuration

This configuration option will default to Production with Notifications and Jobs enabled unless the APPLICATION_INSTANCE_TYPE is updated in the Docker Configuration. When configuring Non-Production instances (training/test) this can be used to prevent scheduled jobs or notifications from sending from both the live database and test database. Uncheck the corresponding check box to disable External Notifications or User Job Execution.

For additional information see the Redesign Technical Documentation page for How to Configure Non-Production Instances.

Authentication and Password Requirement Configuration

Allows user to make changes the user password configuration. NOTE: this will affect all users on the system.

• alter the minimum length of a password and optionally require mixed case and/or numeric values as part of the password
• alter password expiration.  Sets the number of days between required password changes.  Default value is 90 days.  If set to zero, passwords will not automatically expire. 
• Pre-Expired Password:  If a user's password is changed by an administrator, should the password be immediately expired?  This will require the user to change the password on the next login.  Does not affect users who hold the 'ADMINISTRATORS' role.

Classic Migration Configuration

Database Administration Configuration

Disbursement Configuration

These options apply to the creation of Disbursements.

Collapse Items for Same Account: If this is checked and there are multiple invoice items posted to the same account, the accounts will be collapsed on the Disbursement. 

Max Items Per Disbursement: The maximum number of items per disbursement. The value in this field is calculated using the values entered in the following fields and cannot be manually modified (Stub Lines divided by Max Items per Disbursement). If the 'Use Overflow Stubs' option is selected this limit will be ignored.

Num Lines Per Item: The number of lines to be used per line item.Used to calculate 'Max Items Per Disbursement.'

Stub Lines: Determines the total number of lines that can be used on the disbursement. Used to calculate 'Max Items Per Disbursement.'

Use Overflow Stubs: If this option is checked, the Max Items Per Disbursement limit will be ignored. 

EIS Classic Integration Configuration

Allows user to

• enter a pending threshold amount.  
• By checkmarking 'AUTOMATIC', it will automatically flag a 6xx level object code item as an 'inventory item' when invoicing a PO item.   If left unchecked, user will be prompted in AP invoice to flag 5xx and 6xx level object code items as an 'inventory item'.

The SSDT Inventory Pending Extract report will pull the flagged items based on the spreadsheet. 

EMIS SOAP Service Configuration

Before extracting your fiscal year data for financial reporting, you must enter the fiscal year in which you are reporting for.  For example, if you are reporting data for FY21, enter 2021 as the fiscal year.  This will need to be reset for successive years.

Email Configuration

Available when the Email Notification Services module is enabled. The Default Administrator Address is not being used at this time so this can be left as "root." The Default From Address will be used when sending emails from the application (Report Bundle Immediate option or via the Job Scheduler). The Port and SMTP Host information must also be entered for emails to be sent. Generally, the Port and SMTP Host information would be known by the ITC.

PreEncumbrance Module Configuration

Am I tracking requisitioned amounts?  Indicates whether the Preencumbrance module has been initialized.

Revenue Module Configuration

Is the Revenue module initialized?  Indicates whether Revenue ledgers have been initialized.  

Transaction Configuration

This option will allow the district to track the highest transaction number used instead of the system using the highest number retrieved from the database.  This will be helpful in eliminating gaps in transaction numbers.  

Example:

When vendors are imported over, if the district highest number was 900100 in classic, when creating a new vendor in redesign, it's going to default to the highest number so it would auto assign 900101.  With the Transaction Configuration option, you have the option to control the 'highest' transaction number by entering a number of your choice.  NOTE: It does work a bit differently than Classic.   To auto assign, the system will base it off of the 'highest vendor number' entered in the Transaction Configuration screen.  For example, if I want to start incrementing from 9428, and the next number vendor on file is 13413, that is a huge gap between the two numbers.  I would enter '13413' as my highest vendor in Transaction Configuration and when I create a new vendor, it will think 13413 is my highest and then it will look at the last one used (9428) and increment from there and assign 9429.

USPS Configuration

Vendor Tax ID Number Configuration

Allows validation when entering a new vendor or using an existing vendor on a Purchase Order or Invoice transaction, based on district configuration flag.

No Warning: The configuration will default to show no error or warning related to Vendor Tax ID numbers.

Require for All Vendors: An error will show for any vendor without a Vendor Tax ID number entered. On the Vendor record, a Vendor Tax ID number must be entered for the vendor before the user is able to save the current transaction.

Require for 1099 Vendors: An error will show for any vendor with a 1099 Type different than 'Non 1099'  without a Vendor Tax ID number entered. On the Vendor record, a Vendor Tax ID number must be entered for the vendor before the user is able to save the current transaction.

Warn for All Vendors: A warning will show for any vendor without a Vendor Tax ID number entered. 

Warn for 1099 Vendors: A warning will show for any vendor with a 1099 Type different than 'Non 1099'  without a Vendor Tax ID number entered.
