USAS-R v7.3.0-2 Release Notes

Summary

This is the fourth production release of the USAS Redesign software; the first release for version 7.3.0.  This release contains various bug fixes, new features and import performance improvements.  We've also continued work on implementing Account Change and a scheduling service that will enable us to implement MonthlyCD and FiscalCD.

A few notable changes:

• The AP Invoice interface now includes a new "Vendor's invoice date" just below the "Invoice date".  The invoice date will now default to the current date.  When entering invoices, if you previously used the date from the invoice you received from the vendor as your invoice date, please enter it in the "Vendor's invoice date" property.  This field is basically a placeholder for you to record that information.  This date will be looked at when determining then and now POs.  

• We corrected the problem with retirement and insurance disbursements being posted into USAS to include the correct payee information.

• We added the highest check number on file to the Disbursement print popup to make check number assignment easier for the end user.
  
  
  

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 Documentation. There is a section in the documentation that also details the significant changes between USAS-R and classic USAS.
