Summary of Changes

The following features are available in P2 IDEAS 6.13.1.0.

Enhancements

iIDEAS

iIDEAS Administration Module

This module has been upgraded from VB6 to VB.net . This concludes the upgrade of the Administration module and associated files that allow users to route documents, add attachments, reset statuses, etc. This protects P2 IDEAS users from unanticipated errors related to Windows updates.

New iApprove User Interface

A Password Change screen has been added to iApprove to accommodate required password changes in iApprove due to instructions to change passwords on the next login or after a password has expired.

Issues Resolved

The following are key issues resolved with this release:

Accounts Payable

Advance Application Removal

Corrected an error caused by rollback logic included in the Advance Application Removal process.

Auto Check Processing

For hosted clients, the saved check printer was not always found when printing checks from a new Citrix session. Added a Print Dialogue screen to allow the user to choose their check printer if the session has changed.

Batch Transaction Validation

Widened the Batch Number field in the header of the report to display all 20 characters in a batch number.

Manual Check Screen

Modified the Manual Check screen to accept negative check amounts to accommodate a check that had been refunded and had to be applied to a credit memo.

General Ledger

Quick Batch Xref

Corrected the Xref logic when the ledger was typed in manually instead of selected from a list.

Interface/Consolidation

Corrected a condition where multiple entities were in an interface file. This issue was not discovered until the journal was created in the GL. Modified the Interface process to reference the Company Lookup flag in the Ledger Definition and present an error if the flag was enabled and multiple entities existed in the file.

Fixed Assets

Asset Depreciation
- Corrected an issue where negative depreciation was booked during the process.

Other Fixes

A total of 38 maintenance fixes are included in P2 IDEAS 6.13.1.0. These fixes were targeted to high traffic screens such as Invoice Entry, PD and RQ Entry, Journalization, Report Writer issues, etc.

Please see the P2 IDEAS 6.13.1.0 Risk Assessment for a complete list of resolved issues.
