  • New Account Change Report showing all transactions updated by the account change process.

    • When the account change is processed the report is created. A copy of the report will be sent to Document Storage/Fiscal Year Reports Archive and will be put in the collection for the Fiscal Year the account change is run. If you have not yet enabled Document Storage, the report will be sent to the File Archive/Fiscal Year Reports Archive and will be put in the collection for the Fiscal Year the account change is run. For example: Fiscal Year 2026.

    • The report is organized by transaction type and will show the transaction key (transaction number), item number, to account and from account.

    • The report title is Account Change Report and the report name is the value of the old cash account and the date/time the account change was processed.

      • Example: 006-3110-141-0000-000000-999-00-000_ACR_2026-04-23-01-56-49, where 006-3110-141-0000-000000-999-00-000 is the “to account”, ACR stands for Account Change Request, the date is 4/23/2026 and the time was 1:56:49.

  • New button added to download stack trace as TXT file. In the event that the application throws an error, there is a new button on the bottom right of the red box that will allow you to download the error details or “stack trace”. This information is helpful in determining the cause of the problem in cases where an error is not expected. Please use this new feature when reporting errors to SSDT.
