Enhancement to Vendor Access Center (VAC) Existing Vendor Registration Process

Feature Summary
Some Customers operate multiple campuses that share the same Federal Tax ID (EIN) but maintain separate vendor profiles and addresses. Previously, the Existing Vendor Registration Process in Vendor Access Center (VAC) restricted registration to one vendor per Federal Tax ID, preventing these institutions from registering multiple related vendors.

What Has Been Updated
VAC has been enhanced to allow organizations with the same Federal Tax ID to register separate vendor profiles using Existing Vendor Registration, consistent with how the core PowerSchool ERP system already operates.

Result
Institutions that share a Federal Tax ID but maintain separate purchasing or AP addresses can now register in VAC without restrictions, improving alignment with real-world vendor setups and preventing registration roadblocks.

Support Tools Access Restored for Regular SSO Users

Some customers reported that Regular SSO users could not access the Support Tools menu, even though they were members of the Admin group in Active Directory. This occurred because Support Tools access was not tied to SSO identifiers in the application.

What Has Been Improved

A new screen called Support Access has been introduced to give districts better control over who can access Support Tools.

How It Works

• The Support Access screen functions similarly to the existing User Access setup screen. (Please check the online help for more details.)

• If a Regular SSO user’s SSO identifier is added to this screen, they will automatically gain access to the Support Tools menu.

• This screen is available only for On-Premise environments.

This enhancement allows on-premise application administrators to directly manage who can access Support Tools without relying on underlying Active Directory group memberships.

Import Tool: Fix for Error When Importing Alphanumeric Account Numbers

Previously when importing account numbers that contain both letters and numbers, the system displayed an exception, instead of showing a helpful validation message, which made it unclear what the actual issue was.

What Has Been Fixed
The validation process for alphanumeric account numbers has been updated so the system correctly checks whether an account belongs to one of the valid accounting categories (such as Assets, Liabilities, Revenue, Equity, or Expenditures).

If an account number begins with a letter that does not match any of the valid categories, the system will now clearly notify you that:
“Account is not in any valid list of ranges.”

Result
You can now seamlessly import alphanumeric account numbers. Whenever an account does not fall under a valid category, the system will provide a clear, meaningful message—allowing you to correct the data.

Import Tool: Fixed the Certification import issue when loading multiple certifications for the same employee

Previously, when importing certifications, only the first certification for an employee was successfully loaded into the system. If multiple certifications for the same employee were included in the file, the system processed only the first row and ignored the remaining entries. This occurred because the import logic grouped records only by Employee Number and Certificate Number, causing additional rows with different certification details (such as type or area) to be skipped unintentionally.

What Has Been Fixed
The certification import process has been updated to correctly handle multiple certifications for the same employee. The system now:

• Groups records using all the certification fields, ensuring each unique certification entry is evaluated properly.

• Treats certain fields as optional, allowing the import to proceed even when some fields are not provided.

• Skips inserting a record only when all fields exactly match an existing certification in the system (shown as “Record already on file” in import summary).

• Inserts a new certification record when any value differs, ensuring all distinct certifications are loaded.

You can now import multiple certifications for the same employee in a single file without data being overlooked. Each unique certification entry will be properly added unless it is an exact duplicate of an existing record.

PO generated via Vendor Bidding System now print NET 45 Days as the terms.

In Vendor Bidding, Entry & Processing, Convert Bid to PO, when a bid was chosen & converted to PO, an issue was observed where the purchase order printed had NET 30 Days as the terms instead of NET 45 Days even when there was a custom to override default terms on POs to NET 45 Days from the standard NET 30 Days. This issue has now been resolved.

Users attempting to modify a finalized Purchase Order will receive an error message stating "Purchase Orders with Final Approval cannot be modified."
