Releases Since Our Last Meeting
USPS-R 5.23.0 Release Notes (01/18/2019)
Included enhanced metrics to help isolate performance related issues.
Included a template report to support infohio patron extracts
Included the ability to view details relating the the success or failure of e-mail direct deposit jobs for individual employees.
Added the ability to include voids previously reported to SERS or STRS on the submission file
Added rules to either prevent or warn the user when trying to save or modify an employee with a duplicate SSN.
USPS-R 5.23.1 Release Notes (01/25/2019)
This was a targeted release for a single district that needed a patch due to the default bank account not being assigned on direct deposits.
USPS-R 5.24.0 Release Notes (01/29/2019)
This release concentrated mainly on performance related changes
This release saw a 3x improvement on average for report run times.
A pickup flag was added to medicare and social security payroll item error adjustments.
This was needed so we can identify if the error adjustment is for the employee share being paid by the employer.
If you need to adjust both the employer pickup amount and the actual employee share this will need to be done using two error adjustments.

This release will contain several improvements related to the manual compensation adjustment journals.
It will also include the ability to mass load these journals
Work on the payroll item calculation reordering is also under development. It is currently still scheduled for 5.26.0, but due to the nature of this change and the testing required it is more likely this change will be on 5.27.0.
