2019-05-15 USPS-R Completed Work Review

Releases Since Our Last Meeting

  • USPS-R 5.30.0 Release Notes (04/26/2019)

    • The Automatic Payment Reconciliation (PAYREC) user interface has been refactored to be more consistent with the layout of USAS-R AUTOREC.

      1. The Automatic Payment Reconciliation documentation page has been updated to detail the new interface.  

    • It is now possible to import the payrollcd zip file directly from the file archive UI. This will be useful if this was not accomplished during the initial import process. 

      1. Please note a new version of the USPSREXTR.COM classic extract procedure has also been released through OECN_OOPS. This new version of the extract will allow only the payrollcd archives to be extracted using the extract procedure. It is important that the OECN$USPS_CDROM logical is correctly defined when the extract is run for payrollcd files to be properly extracted. 

      2. Further details on how to use this option of the extract files can be found on the USPS Classic Extract Process documentation page.

    • The file archive user interface has been updated to allow multi-select and delete. This will be useful if multiple files were loaded in error. 

    • The Payroll Item Detail Report (DEDDET) can now be ran for a payroll posted in USPS-R

  • USPS-R 5.30.1 Release Notes (04/29/2019)

    • This was a hotfix release that corrected a permission problem with the payrec menu item and an issue that allowed null work days to be entered in a compensation journal.

  • USPS-R 5.30.2 Release Notes (05/03/2019)

    • This hotfix release corrected the following issues.

      • The employee view would not load if a user had created a very large number of custom fields.

      • Creating custom reports for rights did not allow permissions assigned to roles to be reported.

      • A patch released on 5.30.0 did not correctly run for all records.

      • Selecting a sort option that included building when processing payments was causing an exception.

  • USPS-R 5.30.3 Release Notes (05/07/2019)

    • This hotfix corrected a problem with the quarter report excluding employees when very specific criteria were true.

Upcoming Releases

  • USPS-R 5.31.0 (projected to be released on (5/17/2019)

    • Job calendars can now be archived

    • Several screens have been updated to vaadin 8 (a new version of our UI framework)

      • This particular change requires extensive testing though the UI itself should remain unchanged initially from the user's perspective.
