Bug Fixes

  • The performance of the canned Budget Summary report has been improved.  Additional improvements are in progress and will be available with the release of the account archive feature in which that release is yet to be determined.  

    • When generating the report using the Exclude All Amounts Zero option, the report performance improved by an average of 73%.

    • When no parameters are selected and the report is generated for all accounts, the average improvement is 35%.

  • Corrected the ability to share the report link while still being required to authenticate in order to view the report.  The 2024.2.0  on February 16, 2024 broke this ability.  Please noteif you create a report link that includes a user token, you should be mindful not to share that report link.  The token can be thought of as a password; therefore you would not want to share it. 

Improvements

  • The ability to filter by all dimensions of the account code has added to the Activity Ledger.  To add any of the account code dimensions to the grid, simply click the "More" button and select the dimensions listed just below the Item Description.  Once added to the grid these columns can be filtered and/or sorted as desired.

  • Updates to the 1099 correction procedures so both ITCs and districts can submit corrections as well as printing the Type 2 corrections.  The FWF session on March 8. 2024 reviewed these 1099 changes.   

  • Implemented the ability to use the PO Repair option to remove the vendor, resulting in a multivendor PO.  This new option can be performed on any new or previously invoiced PO; however, any unpaid invoices would need to be updated manually if needed.  The PO vendor may not be removed on any Paid PO.

  • Updated test instances to include SSDT Roles.  Previously SSDT Roles were not being created for test instances.

  • The Federal Assistance Detail & Summary menu options are back for users to utilize.

Bug Fixes

  • Employee Onboarding was updated to take into consideration and handle custom fields.

  • When creating a new Core>Code, the record was still modifiable after saving.  This has been corrected and the saved record will now be read only.  

  • Corrected a database connection leak on the ACH and HSA report queries.  This is not something users would have ever noticed.

  • An update to W2 Submission was made to remove the validation on optional parameters for districts who submit their own files.  

    • Error - Company location address must be entered on W2 configuration.

  • Corrected the ability to share the report link while still being required to authenticate in order to view the report.  The 2024.2.0  on February 16, 2024 broke this ability.  Please noteif you create a report link that includes a user token, you should be mindful not to share that report link.  The token can be thought of as a password; therefore you would not want to share it. 

  • Changes were made to the way the Attendance/Absence Import and Mass Load >Attendance Journal files are processed. 

    • Prior to the update, the CSV file was processed while uploading the file.

    • Now the file will be uploaded. Once the upload completes, processing will begin.

  • Removed an error generated when the payroll initialized and was listed on the Payroll Error Report that pertained to Legacy Compensations that is now obsolete.

    • Warning  Payable units have been adjusted to match days remaining in contract for Employee:  XXXXXXXXX Job 01.  

  • Corrected an issue introduced with the 2024.4.0 Release.  Users were receiving a error ('Not enough accounts to distribute charges') when initializing a payroll.  The error was being generated when there were no Pay Account charges to balance against the Position gross.

Improvements

  • The spelling of the word development was corrected on the Employee>ECE Qualification dropdown options. 

  • An update was made to the Attendance/Absence Import option to prevent double clicking. Once the Import option is selected, the button will be disabled.

  • Compensation UI changes:

    • Delete (X) option has been renamed to Archive.

    • The Historical Context header has been renamed to Contract Change History.

    • The Calendar Start Date and Calendar Stop Date fields have been moved to a new Calendar Date section.

  • The Employee Dashboard was updated and now includes the following:

    • The employee suffix will now display as part of the employee name.

    • Payments option was enhanced so the grid now sorts by pay date in ascending order.

  • The ACH Submission>ACH Submission and HSA Submission Generate Report and Generate Submission File options were moved to the bottom left of the screen. 

  • A new warning message has been added to New Contract regarding the calculated pay per period does not match the entered pay per period.  

    • Warning - The entered pay per period amount does not match the amount calculated by the system. 

  • Improved the styling (meaning the font size should not randomly change) of following reports:

    • Attendance Report

    • ABS103 Report

    • Employee Master Report

New Features

  • USPS implemented user tokens for report links - as USAS has.

  • A new menu option on the Employee Dashboard was added called Accumulations.

Bug Fixes

  • Corrections have been made to the split item numbering process.  Previously, the tags that contained alphanumeric characters were excluding zeros when numbering tags.

  • Split item original cost amounts were incorrect when splitting items with uneven amounts due to a rounding error.  This has been corrected.

Improvements

  • The split item UI has been improved to add the following additional values:

    • The original item's original cost will be visible (read only)

    • Each split item detail line will include the split item's original cost (read only), which is calculated based on the original cost and number of split items

    • Totals have been added to reflect the total number of items and the total original cost.  These totals sum the detail lines and can be used to compare to the fields at the top of the view.
