FIS-TP VERSION 30

List of Changes and Enhancements

The following is a list of changes or enhancements in Transaction Processing Application Version 30 implemented on September 24, 2001.

Financial Documents

Auxiliary Document

The sub-account information is now listed on the main part of the document. This will now allow users to complete the sub-account and sub-object information without having to click on the sub-account button.

The reversal date for accruals and recode will now default to the period immediately following the posting period, which is normally the 15th of the month. If necessary, the reversal date can be modified.

In the previous release, when a user tried to initiate a template on an AV document created in a prior fiscal year, the system checked the object codes on that fiscal year, not the current fiscal year. This problem is now fixed with this release.

Cash Receipt

The cash receipt now requires the currency and coin detail screens to be completed if these media are part of the deposit. The detail screens are selected by clicking on the down arrow beside these fields located in the reconciliation section of the document. Once the detail screens are completed, clicking on the "ok" button at the bottom of each screen will carry forward the total amounts to the document.

Disbursement Voucher

There were several edit changes made to the Disbursement Voucher in this release of the application to reflect new policies. The Accounts Payable Manager, Jan Jenkins, posted a separate message to the listserv on September 22, regarding the changes. If you did not receive the notification, please send a message to fmshelp@indiana.edu for a copy of the listserv message.

One additional change that was implemented to the Disbursement Voucher was the ability to change the sub-account once the document status was "Q". This status means that the document has routed to one of the established workgroups in the predefined routing such as Travel Management or FMS Tax Area.

FIS User Document

Prior to this release, when adding a new FIS user whose universal user id contained a pound sign, sometimes the system retrieved the incorrect user id. This problem is now resolved.

General Transaction Processing

Balances

On the Inquiries/Balances screens where the account number, sub-account, object code or sub-object code is displayed, double clicking on that number will retrieve full information about it. For example:

  • Click on Inquiries/Balances
  • Click on General Ledger Balance
  • Enter account number 1912610
  • Click on report

This action will display the General Ledger Balance screen. Double clicking on the account number will bring up information about that particular account, such as the name of the account manager. Following the same instructions, but double clicking on the object code will provide detail information regarding that object code.
