Employer Distributions Report CSV output type was including report parameters and summary information. These have been removed so that it only includes employeeNumber,employeeName,payItemCode,accountCode,gross,employerAmount

Inventory Releases
Bug Fixes
The Item grid export wasn't calculating the original LTD amount properly for items that has been deleted and re-added. This has been fixed.
When using SYSTEM>Import to import acquisitions or dispositions, it errored on the error_adjustment on both and the authorized_by and amount_received on disposition import. These fields are not required so we fixed it to allow additions/updates without data in these fields.
The Brief Asset Listing was corrected to allow including disposition start and/or stop dates when generating a report.
The Item grid now displays both the category and number portions (in that order) of the location code.
The Location Worksheet can now be run by a location number or category.
The item tag number is now modifiable, regardless of fiscal year.
The include/exclude entity ID options have been corrected on the GAAP reports to properly include or exclude specified entity ids. You will need to separate the IDs with a comma if you enter more than one or the report will be blank when generated.
The Fixed Assets by Source report has been corrected to handle blank acquisition dates. Previously items with blank acquisition dates were being excluded from the report.
GAAP Reports have been updated to include items with blank fund types.
The following corrections to the Schedule of Change in Depreciation report were made:
The Continuing Items column was corrected to exclude any current year depreciation amounts if the item had an acquisition in the current year.
The percentage of cost value is now limited to 6 decimal places beyond the decimal point. (example 123.123456) This now matches the way the value was rounded in Classic.
The following corrections to both the Schedule of Change in Fixed Assets and the Schedule of Change in Depreciation reports were made:
Include transfer amounts for blank Fund, Functions or Asset Classes
Removed adjustment amounts from being included in the Acquisition column
