The purpose of this document is to provide you with the latest information on recent changes for the release of IDEAS 6.5.0.0 and to notify you of the expected release date. IDEAS 6.5.0.0 provides a maintenance release that resolved various customer reported issues. This release demonstrates our continuing effort to improve IDEAS to meet our clients’ needs. 

IFS IDEAS 6.5.0.0 includes enhancements in the following areas:

• General Ledger

  • Data archiving has been added to the Year End Segment and Transaction Rolls.  If desired, any data that is scheduled to be deleted from the ledger per the roll sequence instructions can now be inserted into a new IDEAS_ARCHIVE database before it is deleted from the production database.  This allows for ad hoc queries using tools outside of IDEAS (Excel, Access, SQL, etc.) on data that has been deleted from the ledger.  The deleted data includes posted transactions, balances and journal entries. 
     

• System Security

  • The new audit trail functionality introduced in 6.4.0.0 has been enhanced to include auditing for the following screens in Accounts Payable:  

    • Invoice Entry - Standard and Argentina

    • Auto Invoice - N/A

    • Manual Checks - Standard and Argentina

    • Void/ Delete Checks - Standard and Argentina

    • Batch Void/ Delete Checks - Standard and Argentina  

• Enterprise Reporting

  • The export to Excel of financial reports has been optimized to reduce the amount of time it takes to export reports.  

• Currency Conversion

  • The Unrealized Gain/Loss Calculation Report now gives the same level of detail as the Realized Gain/Loss Report to facilitate analysis.
