Inventory Releases
Bug Fixes
System>Import Disposition Import type: An error will be generated if the disposition date is in a prior fiscal year.
System>Import Disposition Import type: Disposition code was not set properly when adding or modifying dispositions.
In System>Import, we added a new option "Allow a Prior Year" and "Create Acquisition Record" intentionally for non-migrating district to allow posting acquisition with prior fiscal year dates. In an effort to prevent unintended use for migrated districts, we removed them on the following release. In a future release, we will be implementing a more secure manner of importing through the SYSTEM menu for non-migrating districts only.
System>Import Acquisition Import type: ability to add an acquisition to an existing item via CSV file.
System>Import Items Import type: New items will now have the capitalized flag set correctly.
System>Import Items Import type: Depreciation method field is no longer case-sensitive.
System>Import Items Import type: Organization codes, Funds and Functions will be created if they do not exist when importing new items.
System>Import Items Import type: Fields related to Core menu options (Category, Location, Organization, etc.) when importing items are no longer case-sensitive.
System>Import Items Import type: Lease Type field imports correctly now for adding new items or updating existing items.
System>Import Items Import type: Corrected to allow updating certain fields for items in closed/prior fiscal years. When updating items in prior fiscal years, any field other than the following should update properly: fund, function, asset class, status, original cost and acquisition date.
Transactions>Disposition: When exporting from the disposition grid, it was fixed so the disposition code and not the disposition description is extracted.
Transactions>Items: When exporting from the item grid, the following field names were changed so they can import properly via System>Import. Secondary_tag was changed to be "second_inventory_tag" and organization_code is now "organizational_unit".
System>Users: We corrected permissions associated with the following roles:
INV_GROUP_MANAGER role no longer has access to the User UI.. restricted from changing roles for any other users
INV_STANDARD role now has permission to "Pull From USAS" and delete pending items from the Pending Item grid.
allow modifying the username. Please note, only those with the INV_ADMIN role will have access to users.
Core>Configuration: Corrected the INV_ADMIN role to allow viewing the Core/Configuration option. Previously the page would not load properly, displaying an error message.
Improvements
Implemented the Active Directory Security (ADS) module in Inventory.
System>Configuration: a new option was added to the System menu in order to configure ADS. This is similar to what's available in USAS and USPS.
System>User: The external authentication checkbox is now available on the user. If the ADS module is configured and the user has "External Authentication" checkbox selected they will not be able to authenticate (log in) with a local credentials.
