USAS-R v8.2.0 Release Notes

Summary

We are excited to release USAS-R version 8.2.0.  This release contains exciting new features, bug fixes and reporting improvements as detailed in the release notes below.

Important Highlights

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. 

• Per the State Treasurer's Office we updated the menu option and caption for the checkbook extract to be "OhioCheckbook.gov".  The extract filename is now OhioCheckbook.csv.

• Corrected a bug that allowed posting an initial budgeting transaction via the Budget Transactions on the Expenditure account if an initial amount already existed.  The process checked the posting period for initial transactions but has been corrected to check for initial transactions for the fiscal year.

• Improved the account change process to only allow one account change to be processed at a time.  Due to the opening and closing of posting periods as part of the account change process to update all transactions, more than one process running at a time could interfere with each other causing one to fail.  If an account change job is "in progress" another one cannot be started until it completes.  We also refactored the handling of posting periods to improve the performance of the account change job.

• Wrote a discovery patch to determine user preferences related to customizing grids and saved queries.  This information will be used as we are rewriting the user interfaces to improve their performance.
