USAS-R v7.37.0-6 Release Notes

Summary

This release contains bug fixes and report improvements as detailed in the release notes below.

Important Highlights

Please keep in mind these release notes only reflect the changes included in this release.  There are many other features of the software that were previously released that will not be reflected in these release notes.  General information about all of the features available in USAS-R can be found in our USAS-R Documentation.  There is a section in the documentation that also details the significant changes between USAS-R and classic USAS. 

1. Performance improvements were made to the promotion of Budget Scenarios to Proposed Amounts.

2. Corrected the Revised Budget field on the GAAP extract to be the FYTD Expendable amount.

3. Added the reference number to transactions on the Transfer Advance Activity report.

4. Added two new template reports to assist with encumbrance balancing post import, prior to going live on Redesign.

   1. 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.

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

5. 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.
