Enhancements

Reference	Area	Release Note
EFIN-145762	Enhanced Employee Certificate Import Updates	The Employee Certificate import and export process has been enhanced to more efficiently update existing certificate records. Previously, when importing certificate updates, changes intended for existing certificate records could create additional certificate entries instead of updating the original record. With this enhancement, exported certificate data now includes a unique record identifier, enabling the system to accurately match and update existing Employee Certificate records during import. This improvement enables organizations to export certificate records, make updates such as changes to expiration dates, and re-import the file to update existing records more reliably while reducing the risk of creating duplicate certificate entries. Important: When updating existing certificate records via import, retain the system-generated identifier from the exported file so the system can correctly match and update the existing certificate record. SF Case # 00571114
EFIN-151505	Improved Navigation for Workflow Approval Favorites	Updated Dashboard Favorites for workflow approvals to automatically direct users to the appropriate approval experience based on the workflow configuration enabled for their organization. Previously, organizations that had migrated from Legacy Workflow to Advanced Workflow could be directed to a legacy approval page when accessing approval functions through an existing Dashboard Favorite. This could result in a different approval experience than when accessing the same function through the standard menu path. With this update: Districts using Legacy Workflow will continue to be directed to the corresponding legacy approval screens. Districts using Advanced Workflow will be directed to the appropriate Advanced Workflow approval experience. This behavior is handled automatically, allowing users to continue using their existing Dashboard Favorites without any manual updates or reconfiguration while ensuring a consistent approval experience across all navigation paths.

Issues

Reference	Area	Release Note
EFIN-115137	Ohio local tax and effective date changes	When the pay frequency changes after an effective date change and a local tax record is entered, the effective date change handles this condition rather than throwing a fatal error.
EFIN-142206	Blank Effective Date Change records created when employees use Employee Access Center	Fixed an issue where eFinancePlus (eFP) generated Effective Date Change records with blank Demographics changes when employees used the Employee Access Center (EAC) but did not change any of their Demographics information.
EFIN-143507	Paychecks Screen Did Not Consistently Load as the Default Landing Page	Employees using the Employee Access Center (EAC) were not consistently directed to the Paychecks page after signing in; some were taken to the Employee Demographics page instead. We resolved an issue that could cause the default landing page to vary depending on how users accessed EAC.
EFIN-147455	Inactive Benefit Deductions Continued Appearing During Open Enrollment	In the Employee Access Center (EAC) Benefit Enrollment, deductions marked as "Deduction No Longer Used" could still appear as selectable options during open enrollment. We corrected the filtering logic to ensure that inactive deductions are no longer displayed to employees during enrollment.
EFIN-147962	Resolved Additional Amazon Order Line Items During Concurrent Punchout Sessions	Users could encounter Amazon orders with additional line items not present on the originating requisition or purchase order when multiple Vendor Punchout (VPO) sessions were processed simultaneously. We updated VPO to ensure each punchout session processes independently and includes only items associated with the correct order. These improvements prevent order data from being mixed across sessions and restore accurate purchase order transmission to Amazon.
EFIN-148223	Batch budget and adjustments pending balance	Correct some issues where the pending batch budget adjustment and transfer value could be wrong because of an error the user received associated with adding, changing, or importing data.
EFIN-149818	FLSA earnings on printed and emailed paystubs now use the pay code Check Title	FLSA overtime on printed and emailed pay stubs now shows the pay code "Check Title" from Pay Table Maintenance instead of the hard-coded label "FLSA," matching Check History and other payroll reports.
EFIN-150408	Bug fix to correct the Journal entry validation	A bug fix has been implemented for ARK custom journal entry validations. The issue occurred when entering Journal Entries. The software threw an error if the expenditure ledger record was entered first, followed by the cash account. However, if the cash account line was entered first and the exp ledger line second, the software allowed the JE to be saved/posted. The validation has been fixed so it behaves consistently regardless of the order in which JE records are entered. No changes to the baseline/core have been made because there was no issue.
EFIN-151048	Users Viewed Budget Codes Outside Their Assigned User Views	Users in Vendor Punchout (VPO) with restricted User Views could see budget codes outside their assigned access, causing budget information to be displayed beyond their configured permissions. We updated VPO to consistently enforce User View restrictions when displaying budget codes.
EFIN-151279	Resolve Vendor Information Import Fails with Non-Descriptive Error When Vendor Records Contain Null Names	Resolved an issue in the System Administration Import Tool where importing Vendor Information or Fund Accounting Reference Table data produced a non-descriptive error when existing vendor records in the database had null vendor names or column alias mismatches. A null check has been added to safely handle null values during vendor import processing, ensuring import jobs complete successfully.
EFIN-153185	Improved Access to Dynamic Leave Request Approval Tasks from EAC	Improved the user experience when accessing Dynamic Leave Request approval tasks from the Employee Access Center (EAC). Previously, users opening Dynamic Leave Request approval tasks from EAC could encounter an additional authentication prompt and may not be taken directly to the requested task. With this update, users are directed straight to the appropriate Dynamic Leave Request approval task, resulting in a smoother, more efficient workflow. SF Case # 01072358
EFIN-153314	Purchase Orders Were Incorrectly Associated With Multiple Vendors	In Vendor Punchout (VPO), a purchase order number could be reused across orders from different vendors, causing orders to be associated with the wrong transaction and leading to inaccurate shipments. We updated VPO to maintain separate processing and added safeguards to detect and prevent future conflicts in purchase order numbers.
