  1. Security Groupds - 1099M 3rd Party Import

    Per support ticket 3960037, appears this option is not driven by the security groups and is only available to users who have system wide access. This option needs to be added to the security group settings.

  4. Security Group(s) for limiting document access

    Applicants upload a scanned copy of their social security card. The purpose of uploading the scanned SSN is to be able to quickly validate/verify the information after we hire the applicant and give them their required computer access. HR personnel should be the only ones able to access/view these documents. Currently all screeners can access and download any of the created Attachment Lists (WH\AD\FT\PP\PS\CO\AL). This could be an auditable issue as it relates to the security of personal information. A fix to this problem would be the ability to create security groups to limit certain attachment lists. We would want…

  6. Inability to Post-Date transactions to SBAA

    There is not a way to Post-Date transactions in SBAA more than 90 days. So you CAN NOT post prior-Year adjustments in SBAA. Which means if you do not close out SBAA before approx. November 28 for a August 31 year-end you can not close out the year properly. You need to let Administrators either post date further back than 90 days or be able to post Previous Year adjustments.

  7. Column Widths

    Users are having to scroll left-right excessively to receive POs. This screen should function like other areas and allow users to manipulate the column widths by percentages using the filter application. Allow the columns to be manipulated by percentages like other areas.

  8. Batch # field to be 1-2 digits longer

    Nassau has requested a longer batch number field (at least 1-2 digits longer) Our runs are getting larger and we try to identify B1 APR30 I'd like to use B10 APR30 Right now we're identifying extra batches as B10APR30 So when researching batches (for auditors) there hasn't been total consistency.

  10. Add the word Allowances under the word Additional

    Add the word Allowances under the word Additional in employee access w4 information Less confusion - When employees view this screen they are confused as they think this should show the additional contributions (made to state or Federal) and not additional state allowances.

  11. Add filter option for Time Off Transactions Details screen.

    Add filter option for Time Off Transactions Details screen. When preference is set to use larger font, viewing Time Off transactions doesn't show allocated, used, and left without scrolling. The column widths should only be as wide as that column allows (group, code, date, etc.) or it should only extend to width of the largest entry.

  12. Attachments in Employee Access, Prof Development

    Employees that don't keep copies of their transcripts or grade reports need to have access to the attachments HR adds in their profile for credits. They can see their credits and classes in Employee Access, Employee Information, Personnel, Prof Development but the attachments don't show up. It would be extremely helpful if they could view any attachments here.

  14. Show Account Detail on WIP Report & Grand Total $

    We are hoping that the account detail can be included on the WIP report for requisitions and amount total. The end users feel that the report is a quicker way to verify entry of details than expanding a view for each requisition submitted. The expected outcome would be to view the account detail for submitted WIP requisitions and a grand total amount of requisitions in WIP status.

  15. Reset all quick filter ranges with one click

    I often use the quick filters for filtering data in my browse screens. Currently if I have multiple filters in place I must reset each one individually in order to clear all the filters. This is frustrating. I wish there was a one click option to clear all my quick filter ranges.

  16. Switch post date to Batch date

    The goal is to approve efficiency in looking up past posting (history). The Post Date is not something used on a daily basis and that has to be looked up before we can look up the entry. The number is more commonly used. Change Post Date to Batch Number Cash Receipt Number Journal Entry number for lookup at bottom of screen.

  17. New Column Added to Vendor-Payor Report

    The Vendor-Payor Report needs a column for account number. By having this number on the report users will not have to go back to each individual entry to determine the account source. School bookkeepers will save time by not having to open many screens.

  20. Invoice adjustment field considered in avail funds

    When entering a budget transfer the available funds doesn't reflect any adjustments being made on invoices that may be in a batch status. Say for instance an account has a balance of $1600 and there is a PO entered for $1500 leaving a balance of $100. Then an invoice comes in on that PO for $1510 then really all that is available is $90. However what is reflected in the available funds in budget transfer is $100. If that budget transfer gets done for full $100 then when that invoice that's in batch gets updated now the account is over…
