USAS-R v8.27.0 Release Notes

Summary

This release of USAS-R contains bug fixes and improvements as detailed in the release notes below.  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. 

Important Highlights

Bug Fixes

1. We fixed a problem recently introduced in the Refund UI that made the entering of refund items a bit cumbersome as the field focus was not set to the first field in the item table when adding a new item.

2. Corrected an error received when adding a cash account with an invalid SCC.  There is an appropriate error describing the invalid SCC, but there was also an exception thrown that has been corrected.

3. The start/stop dates have been removed from "Outstanding" reports included in the monthly report bundle.  Reports included are the Outstanding Disbursement Summary and Outstanding Purchase Orders reports.

4. The Summary of Expenditures by Fund report was modified to replace the Remaining Balance column with FYTD Expendable Remaining.  The report is based on the Fund and the fund's remaining balance includes both revenues and expenditures.  The Classic counterpart to this report did not include revenues in the remaining balance it displayed.  The expected remaining amount for this report is based on the following calculation, which is what the Classic report would display:

   1. FYTD Expendable Remaining = FYTD Expendable - FYTD Actual Expended + (Current + Future Encumbrances(current FY only)) 

5. Corrected a problem that prevented users from entering a delivery address when processing requisitions.

6. Corrected a problem that prevented printing a receipt in PDF format that had an item amount of 0.00.

Improvements

1. Improved the performance of the Appropriated Amounts by Cash Account report by 99.57%

2. Various improvements have been made to the code related to the upcoming Workflows release.

3. Continued development on the new canned Audit report.  We have made the remaining objects available in the Audit report UI.  Please note, there is a known issue when including the Requisition object.  If the Requisition object is included when generating the audit report, the report will be blank.  We have a Jira issue create to fix this problem and plan to release it with the final Audit report changes on the 8.28.0 release.

Internal changes

1. Internal changes related to the new Inventory application and it's communication with USAS.

2. Continued improvements on underlying objects that will be used to improve performance.
