2020-03-18 USAS Completed Work Review

Releases Since Our Last Meeting (2-19-2020)

USAS-R v7.36.0 Release Notes

  • Performance improvements were made to the creation of Budget Sheets.

  • Corrected a problem that prevented the received date from being properly set if saving the invoice caused an error and the date was changed.

  • Corrected a problem that prevented a PO item from being canceled if the PO date was in a closed period.



USAS-R v7.37.0 Release Notes

  • Correction to the revised budget field on the GAAP extract.

  • Finishing up work on the Budgeting Process with improvements to the promotion of scenarios to proposed amounts.

  • Added a new report to assist districts in linking their Classic advances and repay transactions.

  • Added two new reports to assist with balancing encumbrances after import, prior to districts going live on Redesign

    • Post Import Closed Purchase Orders with Remaining Balance: Produces a report of purchase orders that are not invoiceable but have a remaining balance. This could be caused by partial invoices dated after full invoices.

    • Post Import Outstanding Purchase Orders with Zero Balance: Produces a report of purchase orders that are Invoiceable but do not have a remaining balance.

  • Removed the audit report from the CYE report bundle.  This report can easily become invalid with the ability to reopen posting periods and make changes.  An audit report for the entire year is rarely useful and can be run if needed.  This will also speed up the time it takes to generate the bundle.
