New Features

Reference	Area	Release Note
EFIN-13487	Conversion Toolkit: Validations to Deduction Table Fields if Child Support is Y	When the child support column is set to Yes, added validations to ensure that: Subjective Gross must be DI. Max Method must be P. Vendor and Vendor Frequency are required fields.
EFIN-75071	Employee Mobile App Updated with Privacy Statement	Employee Mobile App 1.00.7 is available in both IOS and Google Play store. The login page now includes a link to the PowerSchool privacy statement.
EFIN-96689, EFIN-97124, and EFIN-98367	New Employee Access Center (EAC): Added New Dynamic Leave Request Page	In new EAC, a new Leave Request Details page has been added for Dynamic Leave Request. The new page is used to create and edit leave requests and includes a history section that captures previous activity on the request. When a user receives a Needs Correction email, the link will direct them to this page.
EFIN-98037	Budget Preparation Updates Ledger Title when Organization or Account Title is Updated	In Budget Preparation, when a title is updated in the Account List or a title is updated for a fund or the lowest level Organization Chart record, the ledger titles are updated for related ledger records. This only occurs if the ledger title has not been previously updated (the title is still the combination of the original or current organization title, a space and the original or current account title). For example, if the title of a budget unit/key organization is updated for 2023, the title for 2023 expenditure ledger accounts and 2023 expenditure budget ledger accounts and 2023 revenue accounts that use that budget unit/key organization are updated, as long as the title matches the original budget unit/key organization title, a space and the current account title. If the title on the ledger record was overridden when the ledger record was created, then the title is not updated for this ledger record. When the title for an Account List record is updated, all current year expenditure, expenditure budget and revenue ledger records that use the account code will be updated unless the ledger title was previously overridden. This change was made for Fund Accounting in an earlier release.
EFIN-98442	Genero Browser Client (GBC) Upgraded from 1.00.62 to 1.00.64	Genero Browser Client upgraded from 1.00.62 to 1.00.64 This comes with a few bug fixes and updates. For example, date ranges should now be retained after exiting and returning to a window.

Resolved Issues

Reference	Area	Release Note
EFIN-71606	Legacy Workflow Accounts Payable and Requisition Approval Requests Access Through Email	When using Legacy Workflow, after taking action on the Accounts Payable and Requisition Approval Requests accessed through the email link, the user will no longer be taken to the application end page. The user is now redirected to the Logout page.
EFIN-84954	Conversion Toolkit: Upshifting Degree School Reference Table Code and Title	Degree School Code and Degree School Title are now upshifted during the import process.
EFIN-91818	Support Access to the System IDP Page with Additional Login Types	The System IDP screen is accessible using a Single Sign-on (SSO) login for System IDP users, a SSO login for the Support user, or a non-SSO login.
EFIN-93689	Enhanced Trial Balance Report	On the Trial Balance - Enhanced report for Expenditure and Revenue ledgers, the BEGINNING BALANCE should be entered as zero. It was previously using the same logic as the Balance Sheet accounts and would include Journal Entry amounts that start with NEW on expenditures and revenues in error. Made the expenditures and revenues 0 in the BEGINNING BALANCE column.
EFIN-94060	Conversion Toolkit: Certification Expiration Date Beyond 06/06/2079	Modified the code to allow for a certification expiration date beyond 06/06/2079 while using the Conversion Toolkit.
EFIN-95092	In Student Activities, Location Activity Fiscal Summary Report Expenditure Amount Corrected	The Student Activities Location Activity Fiscal Summary Report will now report the correct expenditure amount. An issue was occurring when an expenditure account was used for both a deposit and a check.
EFIN-95267	New Employee Access Center (EAC) on Mobile Browsers	The distorted appearance of Demographic pages when accessing the new EAC web application using phone browsers has been fixed.
EFIN-95390	Reset Security Questions for Terminated Employees if Single Sign-on (SSO) is Enabled	An administrator will be able to enable Reset Security Questions for a terminated employee if SSO is enabled. When a terminated user logs in, they will be able to reset the security questions and login.
EFIN-95858	Add More Attachment Debug Statements for Vendor Checks	Added more debug functionality for Vendor Checks to aid in tracking down issue where attachments are added to incorrect payables. Minor code changes also included additional variable resets to ensure stale data is not being processed. This change builds upon a recent change that only attempts to upload an attachment if the file is found.
EFIN-96455	Student Activities Location Activity Fiscal Summary Report Beginning Balance Correction	In the Student Activities Location Activity Fiscal Summary report, the beginning balance was incorrect. This has been corrected.
EFIN-96456	Fee and Interest Journal Entry on Bank Account Reconciliation	Bank Account Reconciliation now retrieves the account used for a Fee and Interest Journal Entry from the Bank Account Reference Table record. Previously, it was retrieving the account from the Fund Accounting profile.
EFIN-96964	Request Id Was Missing for PO Workflow in Advanced Workflow Tracking	On the Advanced Workflow Tracking page, the Request ID now appears for failed requests associated with the Purchase Orders workflow.
EFIN-97010	Change Order Attachment Appearing on Wrong PO	Updated Change Order processing: Includes more detailed debug logic controlled by a feature flag (because it will greatly increase log file size when enabled) and a web.config setting change. Added Debug logic to aid in identifying the underlying issue because it does not appear to have a clear set of steps to reproduce. Created new logic to check for existence of a pdf file to be attached prior to calling the web service to attach it. Added additional data checks and error traps to be used with debug statements to help identify the issue.
EFIN-98210	Identifier 2310 Added for All Employee Access Center (EAC) Profiles	Added a query to the update script to add Identifier 2310, Display Leave on Payroll Check, for all EAC profiles. This applies to legacy and new EAC.
EFIN-98295	New Employee Access Center (EAC) Updates to Disclaimers	In new EAC, if the disclaimer text is empty, the disclaimer was appearing as undefined. On pages with a system message, the disclaimer text appeared in the same box, which sometimes caused display issues. These issues have been corrected. When the disclaimer text is empty, the Information box will not appear. System messages now appear in a separate Information box and the formatted disclaimer text displays correctly.
EFIN-98522	Expand Arrays Associated With Substitute Timecards	Corrected the array size to prevent a fatal error when there were too many lines in the substitute information on the Attendance page.
EFIN-98958	Changed Implementation for Menu Options Display with Single Sign-on (SSO) Users	In legacy workflow, Menu Options appeared based on the StartPage variable in Global Variables and Active Directory (AD) of the user. Now for SSO users, AD is not required to display the Menu Options.
EFIN-99038	New Employee Access Center (EAC) Check Viewing Error	This is applicable for customers who have upgraded from 19.4 to 22.4 and the new EAC. In 19.4, on the Bank Codes and Deduction tables, Check Title was not a required field. This allowed blank or null values to be stored for this field. In 22.4, Check Title is required, but existing records with null Check Title values in the database are not corrected. As a result, users are unable to display checks in EAC. A generic message appears to contact the system administrator. As a fix, EAC is retrieving the checks even when there are blank Check Title fields. We recommend for you to review your records to make sure the Check Title field is not blank.
EFIN-99059	Detailed Displays Encumbrances	Issues have been resolved on the Detailed Displays Encumbrances page: Advanced Search works without error. Corrected the order when using tab to navigate from field to field. Organization and account search in a full account database work with wildcards.
EFIN-99068	New Employee Access Center (EAC) Leave Information	In new EAC, the Leave Information link was not working and rendered a blank screen. This issue has been fixed.
EFIN-99145	Change Batch Receipt Correction	The correct fund is captured on a Batch Receipt regardless if you change the organization and click Accept without tabbing through the Account field.
EFIN-99181	Attachment Issue in Post Accounts Payable and Batch Accounts Payable	Corrected the vendor number field length that gets passed to the Upload Attachment page. In Post Accounts Payable, the vendor number was being cut off at 4 characters. In Batch Accounts Payable the vendor number was being cut off at 7 characters. Uploaded attachments associated with the vendor number (for example, the Invoice group) would upload the data to the cut-off vendor number, which made it inaccessible. Fixed the display so that future uploaded attachments will upload properly.
EFIN-99423	Reversed Journal Entry Did Not Appear in Batch Journal Entries	When a Journal Entry was reversed from the Display Journal Entries page, the Source column on the Batch or Batch Last Year Journal Entries page was not being updated correctly. As a result, the Journal Entry did not appear on the Batch or Batch Last Year Journal Entries page, as appropriate. This has been fixed. When a Journal Entry is reversed, it will appear on the respective Batch or Batch Last Year Journal Entries page.
EFIN-99551	Legacy Employee Access Center (EAC) Leave Fatal Error	In legacy EAC, resolved a fatal error that occurred when clicking on a calendar day to display attendance information when there was a record associated with 099 and a remark EXCES LV ROLL-NO DOCK. These records are now excluded, as are the records with the remark EXCESS LV ROLLOVER.
EFIN-99951	Android Employee Mobile App	Fixed the bug preventing Android version 11 and lower from being able to launch the Employee Mobile App. Encourage employees who use Android phones to install it from Google Play and give it another try.

Federal Reporting

Reference	Area	Release Note
EFIN-97116	PA 1099 MISC and NEC CSV File Changes	The changes for the PA 1099 MISC and NEC CSV file are to print 35 columns for the correction file and 34 columns for the standard file, keeping the 35th column in the correction file blank.
EFIN-98585	1095 Creation Issue with Covered Individuals During Hire Month	We corrected an issue with 1095 Creation of the covered individual record for an employee. When Hire Offset on the benefit group is First of Next Month, a new employee listed under Covered Individuals was being listed with a checkmark in the hire month. Now the first checkmark will appear in the month when coverage started.
EFIN-98778	ACA Safe Harbor Validation Report: Value Exceeded Maximum Precision	The ACA Safe Harbor Validation report has been corrected so it does not produce a fatal error when the employee W2 wages are zero, or significantly less than the total premiums. Employees with zero W2 wages will have a more specific error message that highlights the zero wages condition. Additionally, the wage percentage and total premiums will calculate correctly when any of the months are blank or null.
EFIN-98859	Form ID Added to 1094 and 1095 Forms	The Form ID has been added to the upper right corner of the 1094 and 1095 forms. The Form ID will be updated every year when the ACA code table values are updated, based on the form requirements posted on the IRS website.
EFIN-98966	Corrected display issues in W2 Processing Create Electronic File	The handling for state-specific fields in Human Resources > Periodic Routines > Year End > W2 Processing > Create Electronic File has been standardized to be consistent across states. All state fields will now only show after the Include RS Records checkbox has been checked and will be hidden and cleared if it is unchecked. Changing the Create State Format field will switch which state fields are shown.
EFIN-98973	RCU Total line for W2C appears to be incorrect	An issue was reported regarding the W2C RCU record not calculating correctly. It has been determined the RCU total record is correct but the RCO employee records are not being included when the corrected amount is set to 0 for box 12 deduction codes A, B, EE, GG, HH, M, N, R, S, T, and Z. This issue has been corrected to include the RCO records.
