USAS-R v8.25.0 Release Notes

Summary

We have made some additional improvements to USAS-R with the release of version 8.25.0.  This release contains exciting new features, but fixes and improvements as detailed in the release notes below.

1. Performance improvements!  New canned versions of the following reports are now available via the Report menu:

   1. Purchase Order Detail report - The performance of this report has been improved by 95%.

   2. Budget Summary report - The performance of this report has been improved by 68%.

2. We corrected the processing of the report bundles to only generate when a user closes a posting period.  This means that report bundles will no longer run as a side effect of the Account Change process.

3. We have improved the Repay Advance option to allow users the ability to select the account they want to use to repay the advance.  Only those accounts eligible to be used to repay the original advance will appear in the drop down.  Users should review the list of accounts and select the one they want to use to repay the advance.  One thing to note, currently the accounts appearing in the drop down do not appear in account code order.  We have created a follow-up issue to fix this and it should be available on the 8.26 release.

4. We've corrected a bug that allowed users to create duplicate account change requests.

5. We've updated the error message that displays as a result of the inactive account rules for the various transaction types to include a note about the parent account and the stop and start dates.  The error messages will now read "Account ###-####-###-####-######-###-##-### or its parent account is not active.  Check the active flags and start/stop dates on related accounts."

6. Underlying work has begun on the new canned audit report.

7. Work has been done to allow USAS and the new Inventory application to be able to communicate with each other.
