Bug Fixes

  • The Item grid export wasn't calculating the original LTD amount properly for items that has been deleted and re-added.  This has been fixed.  

  • When using SYSTEM>Import to import acquisitions or dispositions, it errored on the error_adjustment on both and the authorized_by and amount_received on disposition import.  These fields are not required so we fixed it to allow additions/updates without data in these fields.

  • The Brief Asset Listing was corrected to allow including disposition start and/or stop dates when generating a report.

  • The Item grid now displays both the category and number portions (in that order) of the location code. 

  • The Location Worksheet can now be run by a location number or category.

  • The item tag number is now modifiable, regardless of fiscal year.

  • The include/exclude entity ID options have been corrected on the GAAP reports to properly include or exclude specified entity ids.  You will need to separate the IDs with a comma if you enter more than one or the report will be blank when generated.

  • The Fixed Assets by Source report has been corrected to handle blank acquisition dates.  Previously items with blank acquisition dates were being excluded from the report.

  • GAAP Reports have been updated to include items with blank fund types.

  • The following corrections to the Schedule of Change in Depreciation report were made:

    • The Continuing Items column was corrected to exclude any current year depreciation amounts if the item had an acquisition in the current year.

    • The percentage of cost value is now limited to 6 decimal places beyond the decimal point.  (example 123.123456)  This now matches the way the value was rounded in Classic.

  • The following corrections to both the Schedule of Change in Fixed Assets and the Schedule of Change in Depreciation reports were made:

    • Include transfer amounts for blank Fund, Functions or Asset Classes

    • Removed adjustment amounts from being included in the Acquisition column
