Reported Performance Problems

We are working to improve performance in the following areas as reported through feedback.

1. Cash Reconciliation https://mcoecn.atlassian.net/browse/USASR-3654

2. Grid loading https://mcoecn.atlassian.net/browse/USASR-3123

Known Limitations

1. There are several reported issues with the new AP Invoice UI.  We are leaving it in the application so users can take advantage of the grid but suggest using the AP Invoice (Legacy) option until the following issues are resolved:

   1. The invoice and canceled totals don't populate until after the invoice is saved.  https://mcoecn.atlassian.net/browse/USASR-3806

   2. An error is occurring unless you invoice all items on the po.  The items that do not have a status (because you aren't invoicing them) are being caught by a rule that is preventing the posting of the invoice.  

   3. If an item is canceled and then changed to a non-canceled status prior to saving the invoice the outstanding flag is not being updated properly.  This results in an invalid outstanding value and the user will receive a severe error and will be unable to save the invoice.  

2. The SSDT Revenue and Expenditures by Cash Account and by Fund reports have a grand total that sums the Revenue and Expenditure amounts, which is not accurate for this report.  The Classic FNDREVEX shows a difference (Revenue - Expenditures).   These reports cannot include a difference as template reports.  We will need to create a canned report in order to "correct" the grand totals and include the difference. USASR-3693 - Correct totals on both SSDT Revenue and Expenditure reports (FNDREVEX) NEW

Upcoming Features

1. The ability to mass add accounts, for example taking an existing grant account and copying the account hierarchy to a new account. 

2. Recreating Classic's PAYABL report.  This will be implemented as a canned report because the query required is too complex for it to be a template report.  

3. Removal of Legacy Requisitions 

4. Various improvements to the new AP Invoice UI. For details see "Known Limitations" above.

5. Schedule-able report process to replace Classic's MonthlyCD program
