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

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

3. Budget Summary report https://mcoecn.atlassian.net/browse/USASR-3760

Known Limitations

1. Repaying an advance in the current year is posting incorrectly.  This fix will be released on version 7.20.1.

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

2. Account related performance improvements
