USAS-R v8.43.1 Release Notes

Summary

This is the first hotfix release for version 8.43.0.  

Important Highlights

This hotfix includes performance improvements and error improvements.

Improvement

• Performance improvements were made to posting pending transactions to POs and posting invoices.  

  • Posting pending transactions to POs improved 70%

  • Posting AP Invoices improved 44-50%

• Errors related to posting payables were not always being displayed to the user.  This problem has been corrected.

IMPORTANT:  We discovered a problem with the Disbursement Configuration that prevented a district from being able to post payables (creating disbursements).  The district was trying to replicate the check processing they used in Classic where they did not want the items to print at all, either on the check stub or overflow page.  The configuration was modified to set the Stub Lines value to zero, which caused an error that was not visible in the UI.  The Stub Lines value is used along with the Num Lines Per Item to calculate the Max Items Per Disbursement, so the calculation resulted in an error value. 

Please keep in mind, the Disbursement Configuration options are used to process checks, printing is currently done via third party vendors.  State software provides all of the check data in the XML files, districts will need to contact their third party print vendors if they wish to suppress printing items.  The "Use Overflow Stubs" checkbox will ignore the Max Items Per Disbursement limit.

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.
