Bug Fixes
Performance related improvements should be noticeable on reports based on the Activity Ledger. (i.e. Financial Detail report, Account Activity reports)
As we continue to encourage users to use the Canned version of reports whenever possible, some control break options on the canned Account Activity Reports have been updated to allow users to apply the same sort and subtotal options that were allowable on the Budget and Revenue Account Activity template reports. This will allow users the ability to modify the default sort options to generate reports based on the various account code dimensions, 1 and 2 digit object and function codes and FF Line Number. The canned report will also now include the additional account dimension fields as columns on the Excel and CSV report format options like is available on the template reports.
The Outstanding Disbursement report and the Outstanding Purchase Order report will now reflect the month being closed and not the current posting period when the SSDT Monthly Report bundle is generated.
Corrected a problem with the DUO Implementation that was causing performace problems due to database connect leaks.
Corrected the error when attempting to process an Account Change on revenue accounts with refunds. Previously, the Account change failed due balance checking rules on revenue accounts.

Bug Fixes
GAAP Reports: Corrected the GAAP reports to properly cope with a null (blank) fund, function, asset class or account code. NOTE: INV-476 created to continue looking into Fixed Asset by Source with null values.
Corrected a problem with the DUO implementation that was displaying an error page after a successful duo authentication. The problem has been corrected and users are redirected to the home view after successful duo authentication.
Transactions>Items: Prevent backdating of the beginning depreciation dates when creating/editing items. Users were able to add or change the beginning depreciation date to a date prior to the acquisition date. This has been fixed.
Reports>Book Value: Corrected location code sorting. When using a location code parameter, it was excluding the items that have blank location codes. These are now included. If sorting by location code, the items with blank codes will appear first.
Core>Fiscal Years: Prevent blank and prior year values when creating new fiscal years. Users were able create fiscal years prior to their migration year (archived period). This has been fixed. If users try to create a fiscal year that is earlier than their migration year, an error message will display stating 'Please Enter a Year After Your Import Date'. Users will not be able to open or close archived fiscal years as well. NOTE: Any archived fiscal year periods that were inadvertently created and are currently open will be automatically closed in a future release (INV-484).
Core>Fund and Core>Function: A change that took place on the 1.35.2 release was preventing users from creating new fund or function codes under the Core menu. This has been fixed.
