USAS-R v7.4.0-14 Release Notes

Summary

This is the fifth production release of the USAS Redesign software; the first release for version 7.4.0.  This release contains various bug fixes, new features, report improvements 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:

• We've updated several template reports to include additional parameters.

• We've added the ability to create a purchase order from the pending transactions associated with payroll distributions.  At this time the po will be created without a vendor.  We are working on JIRA issue USASR-3145: Attach Payee from USPS-R to VendorResolved to further improve this process.  For now districts will need to edit the po and assign the appropriate vendor.

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.
