Genero updated to version 3.21.03.

The following updates are included in the Genero update to version 3.21.03:

• The default OpenSSL library installed with Genero is now version 3.0.15.

• In addition, Genero Web Services is now able to load OpenSSL libraries from other official vendors, so if it needs to be upgraded in the future, that can be done without getting a new release from FourJs.

The new version of Genero will be installed when the October release of eFinancePlus is installed.

EFIN-116671

As part of this update, certificate areas can now be tied to a specific CRDC specialized area (Math, Science, etc.) in Human Resources - Reference Tables - Personnel - Certification Area. For select states, this ability will also apply to their certificate-related state-specific tables. The CRDC process and load will use these settings to automatically calculate the FTE for these areas when loading locations.

Versions 20.11, 22.4, 23.10

EFIN-114380

Syncing Attendance Data with the eFinancePlus and TimeClock Plus (TCP) API integration.

The current API integration between eFinancePlus and TimeClock Plus (TCP) only allows customers to sync Timecard data through the API. This means that customers have to manually export Attendance data from TimeClock Plus and then import that data into eFinancePlus. We have added a new API endpoint to enhance the integration. Now, customers can sync both Attendance data and Timecard data individually using the API integration between eFinancePlus and TimeClock Plus (TCP).

Data for this API endpoint flows to: Human Resources → Entry & Processing (Employee) → Attendance

EFIN-115142

Updates to Audit Logging for W2 & W2C.

The W2 and W2C processes have been updated to expand the information being logged to employee activity. Several recently added fields are now supported in logging, as well as some additional information being added to all logging records. The table name for W2C will be upshifted from w2cemp to W2CEMP and it has been added as an option to the Employee Activity purge.

Versions 22.4 and 23.10

EFIN-121301

Contracts in Employee Access Center (EAC)- sorting order change.

To enhance the user experience, we have made a minor adjustment to the Employee Contracts screen in both the new and legacy Employee Access Centers (EAC). The contracts list is now sorted in descending order, with the newest contracts appearing at the top, making it easier to access the most relevant contracts.

EFIN-122192

Add batch receipt in prior year.

In Fund Accounting, Entry & Processing, Receipts, Batch Receipts, an invalid error occurred when adding a batch receipt in prior year for period 13. Validations were always checking the year from fund accounting profile instead of year selected. This has been corrected to do all the organization and ledger validations on year selected in year field.

EFIN-121985

Backup Fund Accounting to disk.

The backup to disk options did not work when the SQL account password contained special characters.

This has been resolved.

EFIN-122366

The issue has been resolved.

EFIN-120846

Future Pay Rates print to Excel.

When running a future pay rates report (selecting the print icon), some users experienced an issue with the Excel download. We have changed the date formatting in future pay rates and preview posting future pay rates to work with older excel formats.

EFIN-120527

Automated Payroll- Interface ledger title.

In the Automated Payroll Interface, when viewing or updating the detail records, the ledger title was truncated in the Charge Information section of the page. This has been corrected to display the full ledger title.

In Miscellaneous Billing, the Customer Master Report printed redundant information.

In Billing and Receipts, Reports, Customers, Customer Master Report, the report was printing redundant information when the user searched on customer address or customer number. This has been fixed.

EFIN-123029

Departmental Charge Summary - List of years in year drop-down were cut off.

In Warehouse inventory, Reports, Warehouse Reports, Departmental Charge Summary, when the user chooses the Unbilled option, the list of years in year drop-down were cut off. This made it difficult for the user to identify which year was being selected. This has been fixed to display the full year.

EFIN-122727

EAC Identifier 6001, Dependent Page Title, Hide option now functions correctly.

Resolved an issue where the "Hide" option for EAC Identifier 6001 Dependents Page Title was not functioning properly. This fix ensures that administrator can now successfully hide the Dependent page as intended, improving the overall user experience and workflow within the EAC system.

EFIN-122453

Attachment error for batch budget adjustment entry.

In Fund Accounting, Entry & Processing, Budget Ledger, Batch Budget Adjustment, an attachment error occurred when trying to add an attachment for batches that were imported. This has been fixed to allow the user to add attachments for all the batches without any error.

EFIN-122383

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).

EFIN-121983

Forcing Stuck User Data Sync with Talent Records.

Occasionally, individual user data changes would become stuck in eFinancePlus and fail to sync with Talent Records. We've implemented new code logic to identify and force the syncing of stuck user data with Talent Records.

EFIN-121485

Discarded employee race changes not reverting to original selection.

When modifying the employee race selection in eFinancePlus and opting to discard the changes, eFinancePlus failed to discard the unwanted changes, persisting them in the Employee Information screen instead of reverting to the original selection. We have implemented a fix, and the Employee Information screen now functions as intended regarding employee race selections.

EFIN-121325

Corrected W2-C displaying incorrect corrections for Medicare and Non-Qualified Plan Amounts in Employee Access Center.

In the new Employee Access Center, an error incorrectly identified the Medicare taxes and wages as an amount changed to zero when no change was made. This has been corrected to correctly identify the non-changing amounts as reflected by the printed W2-C and the information in the W2-C record.

Versions 22.4 and 23.10

EFIN-120255

In new Employee Access Center, employee calendar validation warning and error messages updated.

In new EAC, warning and error messages have been updated to the following:

When the calendar validation - employee setting is set to "Fatal," an error message in red will be displayed stating, "End Date cannot be after the contract end date. The leave request cannot be submitted."

When the calendar validation - employee setting is set to "Warning," the warning message in yellow/orange will be modified to "End Date is after the contract end date. Select Continue to submit the request or Cancel to return to entry."

EFIN-121608

Employee Mobile App (EMA): Leave Request Calendar Warning workflow improvement.

In System Administration, Profiles, Workflow Configuration Profile, Service Maintenance, Employee Leave Request, when Calendar Validation - Employee is set to Warning, then in EMA when submitting a leave request that generates a warning, the dialog box now displays Warning/Success instead of just Warning that was done in a previous ticket. The message in the dialog box includes both the warning and the success messages. When the user clicks OK in the dialog box, they are returned to the page in the app where they selected to add the leave request, which is same functionality when the leave request is successfully submitted.

Employees must update EMA in Google Play or the App store to receive this update.

EFIN-117530

User Login and Supervisor ID values being converted to UPPER CASE.

Previously, there was an issue where data updates from Talent Records automatically converted the User Login and Supervisor ID values in eFinancePlus to uppercase, even if they were entered in lowercase. This caused confusion among users. We have fixed this problem, and eFinancePlus will no longer convert the User Login and Supervisor ID values to uppercase when data updates arrive from Talent Records.

EFIN-113841

Deleted races on Demographics screen not reflecting in eFinancePlus.

Resolved an issue where deleted races on the Demographics screen were not being reflected in eFinancePlus during the posting process. The fix ensures that deleted races are now correctly reflected in eFinancePlus during the posting process.

EFIN-120442

Empty Effective Date Changes for employees with multiple races.

If employees with multiple races made changes to their race selection in either Talent Records or Employee Access Center (EAC), eFinancePlus would generate a blank Effective Date Change record for those employees. We have fixed this issue, and eFinancePlus now generates a correct Effective Date Change regardless of how many race selections an employee has associated with them.

EFIN-120569

Fixed page breaks on Batch Payables Edit List Report

In the Fund Accounting, Entry & Processing, Batch Accounts Payable, Edit List, when a batch contains a large number of records with overflow text in the title field, page breaks can become disrupted, causing data to start printing in the middle of the page. This issue arises when the title extends onto the next line. After the code fix, the alignment of the content has been adjusted to ensure that the title appears on a single line which eliminates page break issues.

EFIN-120956

Revenue Transaction Analysis Report included duplicate transactions when full account format is turned on.

In Fund Accounting, Reports, Audit Trails, Revenue Transaction Analysis, when the report was run with all the selection criteria blank, an issue was observed where transactions were printing more than once on the Revenue Transaction Analysis Report. This was observed only when full account format was turned on. This issue has now been resolved.

EFIN-92593

Talent Integration Settings

If changes to an integration setting were needed after the initial setup with Talent products, and if the Start Date for "Sending Posting Requisitions" was set before the current date, users encountered an error and were unable to make any changes to the settings. We have fixed this issue, and users can now make necessary changes to the Talent integration settings on the eFinancePlus Integration Setup page.

EFIN-94853

Employee Access Center Open Enrollment plans not filtering by Selected Coverage Group

While enrolling in benefits, employees found that the Employee Access Center (EAC) was not filtering and displaying available plans based on the coverage group filter selection. This issue has been fixed, and the Employee Access Center (EAC) now correctly displays available plans based on the user's filter selection.

EFIN-121300

Fixed AP Batch Edit List Project Warning/Error When Sorted by Vendor Name

In the Fund Accounting > Entry & Processing > Payable Entry > Batch Accounts Payable, when printing the batch edit list report using the Vendor name sort order , the system was incorrectly displaying a 'Project Budget exceeds' error even when no project was included. After the fix, the error is now correctly triggered only if a project is included and the project budget balance is exceeded.

EFIN-120657

Custom Range Business Rule Minutes to Hours Miscalculation

When absence records from SmartFind Express (SFE) were synchronized to eFinancePlus and a business rule with a custom range was applied, the minimum and maximum values were not used to calculate the final value. A fix has been implemented, and now business rules with custom ranges are properly applied during the calculation.

EFIN-115924

General ledger Transaction report data filtering issue.

The general ledger transaction report was not including the expected records when the user’s organization view was set to a specific fund. This has been resolved.

1099-R Processing Page Title and Information Section Updates

Main Menu > Human Resources > Periodic Routines > Year End > 1099-R Processing > Print 1099-R Forms > Print All 1099-R Forms

The page title is now "1099-R Processing - Print 1099-R Forms". The information section on this is also now updated to, "Use this option to print 1099-R forms." This change makes it match the other 1099 Print All Forms pages and removes incorrect information displayed.
