USAS-R Releases

Bug Fixes

• A formatting error was corrected so that the user could include a date field as a control header on their custom report.   

• The Financial Summary by Fund report has been corrected to properly run for entities that do not have the 001 General Fund.  (i.e. entities that use Fund 025).

Improvements

• The Period H collection data (pulled from the SIF) will no longer include a value for the ODE Brief Description and will appear blank per ODE with FY23 EMIS change 23-86.  In addition, the payables value will now show as 0.00 to prevent confusion.  Prior to this change, the payables value was being populated by the current payables amount in USAS and did not reflect the payables as of the fiscal year's collection period.  The value reported in this element (QC260) was optional and not used by ODE financial departments.  ODE will eliminate this from EMIS reporting in FY24 under change 24-51.   

• Various improvements have been made to the User view

  • The component that displays the roles (available and granted) has been made larger so the value of the role is entirely visible.

  • The email address field has been made larger so that the value of the email address is entirely visible.

• The Federal Assistance Detail view has been updated to exclude transfer and advance amounts in the received and expenditures values for the 500 level funds.

• The ability to delete reports from the File Archive has been implemented.  The entire archive entry can be deleted from the File Archive grid, as well as the ability to select individual reports to delete.  For example, with the proper permissions an entire month's reports can be removed via the grid.  Or, once a month is selected, a user can select individual reports from the highlight view and delete them via the REMOVE button. 

  1. As part of this change we also made the following Role changes:

     1. A new role has been created that grants the permission to delete from the file archive: USAS_FILEARCHIVE_MANAGER

     2. The existing USAS_FILEARCHIVE role no longer includes the permission to delete from the archive and can only view.  

     3. The USAS_MANAGER role has been updated to remove the permission to delete from the file archive and now can only view.  

  2. The importance and timing of these changes are related to the Document Management and Archival project currently in progress.  Once completed, the developers will begin phase 1 to migrate the data stored in the File Archives and combine the separate USAS and USPS databases into one database.  Any existing files in the File Archives will be migrated when the document store takes place.  Therefore, ITCs may want to clean up duplicate entries and/or other unneeded reports from these file archives in anticipation of the upcoming document archival and management changes.  This migration is projected to begin in the second quarter, so ITCs and districts should have ample time to review and remove unneeded files prior to that point.  Each report has a version number, so you can easily keep the desired version and remove any others that are no longer needed.

• A previous change that included adding a warning message when the report bundles are disabled and the user tries to close a posting period is now working properly.

Patches

• A patch for a specific district to correct problems related to the Disbursement "void old checks" option that was removed on the 8.55.0 release.

• A patch for a specific district to correct POs impacted by a bug in the account change process that impacted paid POs that exceeded the original encumbrance amount.  The bug that caused the issue was fixed on the 8.46.0 release.

• A patch for a specific district to properly update the status of a failed job.

• A patch for a specific district to correct a transaction related to a previously corrected account change bug, as well as several POs with incorrect remaining encumbrance values as a result of the Classic migration.  District was imported prior to the availability of the manual encumbrance adjustments.

Improvements

• Earnings Register - add employee levels and totals for Medicare pickup.

  • On Employee Earnings Register there is now a separate amount to show the Medicare Pickup amount.  It is called Employer Pickup and is for Medicare.  This amount only includes the Employer pickup amount (that the employer is picking up on behalf on the employee.
