USAS-R v7.29.0-7 Release Notes

Summary

This release contains bug fixes, exciting new features and various report and performance 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. The Monthly Report Bundle has been updated to include the Outstanding Purchase Order Summary and Outstanding Disbursement Summary reports.

2. The User Listing report has been updated to include user parameters to include/exclude disabled users and include/exclude users by roles.

3. The Vendor Adjustment UI has been improved to clarify required fields.  We've also improved the overall look and feel of this UI.

4. An optional rule has been added to populate the invoice item received date with the vendor's invoice date.  This rule is disabled by default and is not mandatory.  Currently the invoice item received date is populated with the invoice date by default if the invoice item received date has been left blank.

5. The AP Invoice grid has been updated to allow filtering by created user.

6. The 1099 TAP file has been corrected to remove extra spaces that caused the fixed format to go beyond the 750 position limit as specified in the publication 1220 file specs.  

7. This release also corrects a problem introduced with the 7.28.2 hotfix which prevented users from viewing disbursements they posted.
