Summary of Changes

IDEAS 6.24.0.0 has the following new Features:

System Security

  • Invoice Approval Auditing – Invoices approved in the Transaction Approval screen in Accounts Payable can now be added to the auditing options. Who approves or unapproves an invoice and when that occurred can now be tracked and reported on.

  • Purging of the Journal Corrections and Chartmaster Audit Trails in GL has been moved to the System Security module to allow for separation of duties around running the audit reports and purging the reports

Accounts Receivable Trade

  • Customer Listing Report – The customer status (active or inactive) has been added to this report. The ability to filter the report by status has also been added. 

Currency Conversion

  • Auto Exchange Rate Administration – For our Colombian customers, the Central Bank of Colombia has been added to the list of available banks that will allow automatic downloads of daily exchange rates. Note that the Central Bank of Colombia only supports USD and Colombian Peso currency pairs.

iApprove

  • Approval Notifications – Rejection notifications and reminders as well as final approval notifications have been added to iApprove. Rejection notifications are sent to the user that routed the document initially.  A supervisor can be defined to send notifications when a document has been fully approved in iApprove so further processing can be completed.  A different email subject can now be defined for each notification type (Approvals, Rejections, Reminders and Final Approvals.  Lastly, a table of documents is now included with each notification displaying the documents that need action.
