Vendor Number Field Now Supports Alphanumeric Values in the Vendor Access Center Application

The Vendor Number field across the VAC application has been updated to support alphanumeric values, allowing greater flexibility in vendor identification.

Key Updates:

• The Vendor Number field now supports alphanumeric characters with a maximum length of 8.

• Existing vendor numbers that are numeric-only remain unaffected.

• Validation rules have been adjusted to remove restrictions on numeric-only values.

This enhancement ensures improved vendor data management while maintaining system integrity and compatibility.

Updates to Copy W2 Information

The Human Resources > Periodic Routines > Year End > W2 Processing > Copy W2 Information process has been updated to handle possible NULL values in the core payroll records for some fields. This should resolve an issue reported by a few districts which results in local taxes being reported as blank instead of zero. For Maryland in particular, this was a exacerbated by the state wages and local wages being reported together, resulting in blanks for the state wages as well.

eFinancePlus / PowerSchool SIS Integration Hardening

Currently, a Social Security Number is needed for integrating eFinancePlus (eFP) and PowerSchool SIS to align users across the two platforms. We have introduced enhancements to this integration that reduce the cross-platform exposure of Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (SPII) for customers in states where a Social Security Number is not required for reporting by making the Social Security Number optional for the integration.

Path: System Administration → Administration (SIS Integration) → SIS Integration Setup

Configuration Setting: Sync SSN
Configuration Options: No SSN, Full SSN
Default Value: No SSN

Note: If you are currently syncing SSNs and wish to stop, go to the SIS Integration Setup screen, select the No SSN option, and then click the Run button. The integration will automatically remove all employee SSN values in PS SIS.

Customers with an active eFinancePlus (eFP) and Talent Records integration who were not using the Employee Information form in Talent Records experienced an issue where eFinancePlus (eFP) replaced existing user demographic values (Gender, Ethnicity, and Race) with NULL.

Earned Year-to-Date (YTD) Value in Leave Bank Miscalculation

The Earned Year-to-Date (YTD) value in eFinancePlus associated with an employee's Leave Bank was incorrectly calculated to the nearest hour. The values were sent to SmartFind Express (SFE) as “25:60”, causing validation errors when they should have been sent as “26:00”. We have fixed this issue, and the Earned YTD value is now correctly calculated and sent to SmartFind Express (SFE).
